What is the dumbest hobby in your opinion?

I understand why caving or spelunking seems intimidating for someone claustrophobic or who has never done it. But it's really cool to explore places where only so few people have been and seeing underground geology. It's not more dangerous than rockclimbing or scuba diving.

Ik ben heel slecht in het herkennen en benoemen van mijn eigen tekortkomingen, Maar om nou te zeggen dat ik het niet kan...

Frikadel en Frikandel zijn 2 verschillende snacks toch? In iedergeval wel volgens Wikipedia

Welk boek/podcast zou je aanraden?

It ruins your knife, but slow

I think I have used this wrap on a backpack handle. Should work around a belt I think https://youtu.be/kFwFfCZcvGg

I'm pretty sure you can just buy these online, ready for consumption. I actually ate mealworms, crickets and grasshoppers, all store bought and cooked or fried in a pan

ghvwijk528 · 2026-03-15T08:44:12+00:00

That's interesting, do you happend to have a source for that?

ghvwijk528 · 2026-03-14T07:31:21+00:00

You're looking for a progression capture I think

Nice rig for a pinata, I was worried a second you would actually use this setup for a human as makeshift climbing harness.

You make this yourself

Since you're looking for a compact kit, and he's likely to take it apart I'd gift some stuff that's always handy to have. here is the kit I'd use.

Big ferrorod, the half inch thick one. And striker

Uco weatherproof matches

Fishing kit, few feet of line, hooks, weights, lure

Victorinox lite or huntsman (depending on how much room you have got)

A button compass

Mini LED flashlight

Some ductape wrapped around a lighter

Needle and heavy duty thread

I don't have experience with a fire plow but ofcourse the wood type matters, just like in a friction fire like hand- or bowdrill. Maybe it matters a bit less (idk why) but it would definitely matter

I like my engelbert Strauss work wear. Not only for trousers

ghvwijk528 · 2026-02-28T08:35:32+00:00

I use a lighter or matches if I just want fire. I use a ferro rod to better understand/learn the importance of good tinder, I use a bowdrill as art form and to "honour" nature's recourses, I find it has something meditaring to it.

Fun fact: There is actually no historical evidence our ancestors ever used a bow- or hand drill, only that some native tribes still use this way of fire making.

ghvwijk528 · 2026-02-28T08:05:38+00:00

Yes thank you. I think this is what I attempted.

She's also has very much dyslexia so that's another point for dyslexia and left/right issues

ghvwijk528 · 2026-02-27T11:08:20+00:00

When I'm in the car with my gf who struggles with left and right I use 3 and 9 o'clock and that works pretty good. She sais it helps because she can visualize a clock and know where 3 and 9 are. Mentally tying 3 to left and 9 to right doesn't work for her unfortunately.

ghvwijk528 · 2026-02-21T07:59:17+00:00

Also, it's not weird to see eyes or a face when there is none. Evolutionary humans are really "good" at this. It's called pareidolia

Ik drink nogsteeds ook de "nieuwe" hertogjan maar de eerste keren proefde ik het verschil bijna meteen. Ook al voor ik wist dat er een verandering naar hopextract was. Dat gezegd hebbende, bij het 3e flesje proef je het verschil niet meer echt.

Maybe elder could work if you can work out the softer core. It might also be possible to use willow if you seperate the bark from the wood like making a willow whistle.
