I love nature and the water. As such I do a lot of hiking and backpacking as well as just basic camping, and a lot of swimming and SCUBA. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite between backpacking and SCUBA because I love them both so much but they are both in completely different domains.

I am sad right now because I perforated my ear drum diving and can't actually dive for the next month. What actually make me so sad about it is that it cost me a great job opportunity to work in Florida for the rest of summer at a scout camp as a Divemaster. But then it would also be a job and not a hobby so I don't think it would count for the question

I have always dreamt of going on a big hike, that would be awesome and you're doing that right now. You're that person people can't reach because you're either below the surface or in the woods. When a hobby becomes your job you're doing something right!

How much would one expect to pay for a decent set of SCUBA gear?

I don't have any "interesting" hobbies really. My hobbies are pretty normal, I work on a lot of animation, art, and music projects.

I think those are interesting though. What kind of animations are you working on right now?

Ah awesome I appreciate your interest into what I love! I recently finished a simple animation about the PayPal/Voat drama. Right now I am working on a project for a rap artist named Remy Jacuzzi and a lot of stuff for our new Space Ghost style interviews. We have interviews lined up much faster than I can animate right now, here's the proposal video. My main passion is trying to turn my cartoon Foxy Apartment into something truly fun, unique, fucked up, and entertaining. I used to try to share stuff like this on a different site but never seemed to get very far, I am hoping my animations and talents will be better appreciated by the Voat community. I love this place. :)

I really enjoy creating and editing videos for YouTube. It was a major hobbie of mine last year but unfortunately I haven't had time to make any content in the last 9 months which is a major bummer but hopefully I'll get back to it soon!

I'm a fencer. I'm not very good at it, but it's social and it keeps me fit :)

Does it hurt at all when you get poked?

Not really, unless it's a flick-shot which can sting a bit sometimes. There's enough protective equipment that you'd very rarely feel any pain.

I just put together a Gakkenflex-clone camera and haven't felt so not-smart in my entire life! But it provided a big sense of accomplishment and I get lost in the worlds I see in the viewfinder. I'm trying to learn more about Lomography and photo editing.

Never heard of an Gakkenflex-clone camera before. Does it work properly? I am currently trying to get an agfa isolette V camera to work but I really have no idea how to.

I got the shutter working before I finished assembling it (but am skeptical that it's still working). And, while the film slipped a bit at first, I've got it winding properly now. (You have to manually advance the film after each photo unless you want a double-exposure.) The Isolette looks really cool! Have you tried asking around v/photography to see if you can get a hand with it?

I study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Its a little weird for a grown male in western society to go wrestle around on a mat with others for fun, but its a hell of a work out and there is a surprising amount of thought, strategy, patience and gamesmanship that goes into it.

I started knitting a few months ago. I also play clarinet.

My hobby is pole dance. I started getting into it in March of this year and I absolutely love it! I feel like it's made me much more comfortable with my body.
