Anybody got resolutions?

i had to look up crampon... i thought you mis spelled tampon :)

But it works either way.... attach some used ones to ya and she will for sure kick you out.... probably for good :)
 
Not a long term one by any means. I'm going to take a temporary gear/knife buying hiatus. I realized last month I spent close to $1,500 on random purchases: knives, hatchets, flashlights, sharpener, hammocks... Stuff I really didn't NEED but wanted.

OH GOD! Another German here!

I want to get in shape, get my weight up to about 85kg.
Do more Parkour.

Spend more time outside, make/use gear instead of simply buying more and more stuff.

Connected to my OP, there are a couple of things I'd like to do this year.
One is to roll my sea kayak. That means practice, but it also means I need more flexibility and strength.
The other is to complete a 26-mile, one-day mega hike hosted in my area each year.
This past year, the Becker Gathering conflicted, but there was no way I was ready to undertake the hike anyway.

I put up the fitness log thread. We'll see if anyone wants to weigh in.

What's the details on the hike, I'll come down and do it with ya.

That's where I'm at. There was a contest that asked you to post all your knives, and I realized how hard that task would be.
One thing I want to do is catalog/archive and really take stock of a lot of the gear I own. Put more of it to use. Weed out some.

Usually near the end of October every year: http://www.meetup.com/Middle-Tennessee-Hiking-Group/events/80894972/
This year'll be the 7th Annual. trade and Kay expressed some interest in doing at least part of the hike. It's segmented, so you don't have to do the entire 26 miles.
 
Only have 3.

1) Get back into better shape (im 46).."lose about 10 pounds..and find/grow some muscles".
2) Take my wife on a nice vacation for a week or two..away from it all.
3) Go back to volunteering at teaching/helping youngsters and adults how to read. It made me feel good.

I was gonna say "to stop drinking whisky" but...I have said that for the past 5 years and it didn't work !
 
I just have a couple:

1.) spend more time in nature. Im cooped up at work or in class for massive chunks of my week, i need to carve out some more time to surf, hunt, hike, bushcraft and just the many outdoorsy hobbies i enjoy.

2.) i need to eat a little healthier and workout more regularly. Not lookin to lose weight, just be healthier overall and more active.

3.) properly rehab my shoulder. I've played sports my whole life and hurt it multiple times, unfortunately, arthritis has begun to set in, im way too young for this crap so i need to take better care of myself.

4.) Buy more beckers and get involved in this great community! hahaha

Happy new year to all!
 
A couple goals I have for this year.
- Complete a solo winter overnight trip (below 30F temp)
- Make a fire with natural materials (no matches, lighters, etc)

I'm pretty well set on tool gear. I need to find a good cold-weather sleep setup, however, so that's my current line of research.
 
Goals -
run 5k consistently
lower my body fat %
more dirt time
save some money
learn to ride my unicycle
do a pull up
maintain the paleo diet i've been on
 
My goal is the same as its always been. To clog a commercial toilet. So far no dice.:grumpy:
 
In no particular order:

-Find a Leprachaun and take his gold.
-Win the lotto.
-Happen upon the remains of D.B. Cooper and his loot while hiking, enjoying nature, and eating a Slim Jim all at the same time.
-Smash a pie into Jay Cutler's face.
-Join a major league baseball team.
-Eat better. (Slim chances on this one.)
-Find the lost city of Atlantis.
-Donate Leprachaun gold to a worthy charity.
-Shave Dave Canterbury's beard.
-Update the Mayan calendar.

I think most of this stuff is doable with a little bit of hard work.

Start cleaning the house wearing a backpack, harness, helmet and crampons. Attach everything to you with carabiners...the vacuum, the Swiffer, Windex, Pledge and papertowels. Attach a laundry basket to your pack. Walk into the living room and suggest the first pitch start on the living room wall next to the flatscreen tv....

She'll tell you to get the hell out of the living room and stay off the carpet with "those things on your boots".

As you head out the front door to go climbing, neatly place all cleaning supplies where she can find them.

Problem solved!!! :D

Talk to me at the next gathering, I got a recipe that will take care of it.
 
I have only one actual goal this year: get control of my head. Some of the stuff I went through last year made it clear that whoever is steering this ship, it ain't always me.
