Men are like soldiers that get through their day barely alive from all the pressure and stress they get from their daily grind. At the end of their workday, most men feel defeated and retreat to the fortress they call home. They need to distract themselves and detach from the realities of their world into something that can rejuvenate and recharge their bodies, minds, and spirits. They need to engage in hobbies that will give them the spark they need to keep going in their daily battles.
For this reason, we have listed down some of the best unconventional hobbies that will make every noble home warrior jump for joy.
Fun but Unconventional Hobbies Any Dude Will Love
- Homebrewing Beer
If you were a whiz in Chemistry and Physics in school, this is one hobby you’ll definitely enjoy, especially if you’re good with empirical experimentations. This will test your problem-solving skills and stretch your creativity. All you need is a starter kitto get started (duh!) and the right know-how (which you can get for free online). It’ll be pretty useful for boys’ night in your man cave. - Rocketry
Another awesome hobby chemistry and physics experts can get into is rocketry. This is basically model-making only with real-life physics and chemistry applications to make objects shoot up in the sky. There’s just something about creating stuff that works just like the real thing, albeit on a much smaller scale. - Harness Racing
If you’re into horseback riding and are looking for a bit of a twist to your hobby, then perhaps harness racing, or trotting, is the hobby for you. As a racer, you get to sit strapped to a two-wheeled cart called a sulky or spider. It is then pulled by harness racing horsesracing in a specific gait. - Archery
The WB series Arrow sparked a renewed interest in the interesting world of archery a few years ago. Somehow, Oliver Queen turned archery into a cool hobby to get into. This is definitely not a sissy hobby. Focus and precision are two of the primary things that this sport teaches you. Plus, it’s a pretty solid workout for the core, chest, deltoids, and arms, among others. - Rock Sports
Many a man have a problem with heights. But what can we say? Not all men are created were created equal. If you’re up for a real challenge and don’t have a problem with heights, try getting into any rock sport such as rock climbing and rappelling. It’s great for sharpening your senses, evaluating your surroundings, and planning your actions. - Flying
As kids, many men today probably tied a towel around their necks and pretended to be Superman, fighting bad guys and taking to the skies in a single bound. But since a man can’t fly on his own, the next best thing is to learn how to fly a plane or a chopper. This hobby will cost you a lot, but if you can do it, it’s truly one of the most exhilarating experiences you’ll ever have. - Martial Arts
Have you ever watched an episode of Cobra Kaion Netflix? Other than generating a renewed interest in the ‘80s, the show has got lads all over the world heading over to dojos and gyms to learn different sorts of martial arts. The discipline alone that martial arts teach you is already a win in itself but add to that the ability to defend yourself when you also need to add a sense of security and confidence to a person. Of course, you should only use martial arts as a last resort and not as a means to bully and manipulate people. - Auto Racing
Looking for an adrenaline rush? Try auto racing. Even if you don’t get to hit the track and go against Formula One or NASCAR racers, the sport is great at helping you gauge and understand cause-and-effect in physics and aerodynamics. You can look for tracks near you that offer basic training in auto racing. - Survival
Man versus nature. The true test of manhood. There’s nothing like pitting yourself and everything you have against nature sans most of the conveniences of modern living. Survival teaches you to be resourceful, creative, and handy with the resources immediately available to you provided by your surroundings. Think McGuyver to the next level.
Ever the eloquent one, Irish poet Oscar Wilde said that “Only boring people are ever bored.” Interesting people find interesting things to do in their spare time. And the manliest of men will look for the most thrilling, exciting, and out-of-the-box ideas and turn them into their hobbies. The warrior never rests even when he is at rest.
