Geek Outdoor Hobbies?

Posted by Cliff on from the theres-a-big-world-out-there-away-from-that-monitor dept.

Embedded Geek asks: "My wife and I, in an effort to get more exercise, have recently begun geocaching, which is basically global scavenger hunt using GPS. We have also been active in the Society for Creative Anachronism and my friends are always trying to draft us into paintball. While we're having a blast with all these, I wanted to see if other slashdotters could suggest more geek style, outdoor hobbies that would appeal to a pair of pasty faced nerds like us."

    If the SCA isn't geeky enough for you, just give up now.

    59 comments and nobody states the obvious. You have a wife and you want exercise.

    What about sex? It can be done indoors or out in a variety of locations and positions, in private or in public (depends on how bold you are I suppose), and is very good for your health. You'd get your daily heart-rate boost, in addition to improving your married life (your relationship with your wife).

    And you'll make virtually the entire /. population jealous and horny just for mentioning it.

    You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. The impossible just takes a little longer.
