I love the great outdoors and the activities that you can do in them. I think this started while I was a Boy Scout, where I learned about how to set up tents, cook, purify water, start fires, do first aid, and a wide range of other activities.

My favorite thing to do in the outdoors is backpack in the wilderness - it allows you to see places in a way that just isn't possible in any other manner. Additionally, it requires a bit of strength so it keeps me from being altogether useless. A new aspect of this for me is mountaineering, which I've gotten more into over the past year.

I also love to target shoot with rifles and shotguns, and I enjoy a bit of biking and skiing as well. I hope to learn to snowboard fairly well while I'm in Queenstown, and plan to start taking Paragliding lessons within a few weeks!
