Non music related gear addictions / hobbies

Post by John Matrix »

Besides music what other hobbies do you have that are especially gear heavy? I find that my attention bounces back and forth between pedals and my other gear obsession...backpacking / camping.

I like pedals (and some people've said they're non-music related the way I use 'em). :idk:

Does collecting woodworking tools to be used to make musical instruments count?

All this year has been around beer, Star Trek and job hunting, and my dog for the past few weeks.

Do books count? And I guess I have some DnD (Pathfinder) "gear". And board games.

I like working on cars when it's not a mad rush to get the fucking thing fixed before the next workday. Which is basically never.

My new thing is maintaining basic lawnmowers. Oh my god, they're so simple and you don't have to get under them. It's really refreshing.

Mountain biking. I was obsessed with guitar gear for years, then flipped a switch and have spent the majority of my time and disposable income on bike stuff the last couple years.

Sweet. I find it interesting how similar the gear culture is across different categories. There are the cult brands, the big names, the old school classics, the DIYers. Anyway, share some of your recent scores that you are pumped on, regardless of the hobby. The only requirement is that it be "gear"...whatever the hell that means.
