Who can recommend me a good (preferably cheap) hobby?

[thehstrybean]

I love to be outdoors.
I'm poor.

So what does ATOT have for me?

EDIT: OK, let me tell you what I already do. I hike, run (trail), offroad, play outside, rock climb, boulder, and play ultimate. I more looking for something that I could do by myself/no other person HAS to be there, since right now no one is here and won't be here until August.

Walking: Do that everyday to class
Hiking: Do it already. Almost died on the AT, but I still do it
Running: Do it on trails. Bad shins and ankles, so no roads
Biking: Meh. I cracked my head open mountain biking and haven't gotten back on yet...
Pinching squirrels: !!!
Spitting: Most people find it gross

Build yourself a bunker - grab a shovel and start digging!

Hmm...May try that tomorrow. I have no skill whatsoever, but it'd be pretty funny to watch...

Hiking is free!

To answer your questions, I'll give you my hobbies:

1) remodelling. Good exercise. Fun. And you make money
2) Value investing. Exercises the brain and nothing more fun than making money for simply knowing how to do some simple math.

HIking's great, but I'm running low on places that are close to go. Next stops are hours away...

What is value investing?

Geocaching

hm...If you like coffee, you can roast your own. Equipment can be cheap, like a hot air popcorn popper or bbq setup. You can enjoy top quality coffee for less than pay at the store.
<---my hobby, but I have a more capable roaster than that.

I actually used to cache hunt, and it was great. Never found one, but I'd go out for a couple of days and hunt. Too bad I sold my GPS...

Some day I'll buy another one...

 

[DangerAardvark]

Scout out some camel toads.

How about collecting different types of rocks from different types of places you visit. i.e. "white quartz from the top of Whiteface Mountain, 6/12/95" Sort of as souvenirs of different hikes and stuff. You just need to organize them and identify the specific type of rock.

Plus, it's a great pick-up line at bars... "Hi, I'm Ted. I collect rocks."

There are lots of things to collect as a hobby. I've sort of collected skulls for a while (they keep disappearing though. Dogs? Wife who doesn't like them?) I just found a nice gar pike skull on a shore of a lake I was at.

Don't take up music. I wanted to play guitar in 6th grade to I could play a couple of campfire songs. 20 some odd years later I have $10K worth of guitar gear in my studio

Basketball. Dribble all day.

 

[jackace]

Disc golf is great fun and only costs about $30-$40 to get started.

What cheaper way to have fun than the five knuckle shuffle

[RollWave]

i wish i had cheap hobbies...over the last 5 or 6 years they've skyrocketed in cost...

 

[ChaoZ]

Find a nice play to lay down and just watch the clouds go by. That sh1t is relaxing.

fvck geocaching. One of my buddies enlisted my help to go find one once, and there was so much error in the GPS we had that the area of search was huge, and full of good hiding places. After a couple hours we left. Most boring thing ever.

I think I found where it had been hidden, but as it was a public park I bet some yahoo saw it and took it without realizing what it was.
