These days, we think it’s fair to say that a lot of people spend far too much of their time indoors, shielding themselves from the outside world. They stay online or watching Netflix, often streaming programs like Planet Earth. What they don’t realize is that there’s nothing stopping them from exploring the worlds they watch online for themselves. Since we’re approaching a new year, let’s think about some of the best experiences that you should try for yourself in 2017. Who knows, you might even find a new hobby that you absolutely adore.
Closer Than Ever Before
Do you love watching animal shows online? We’re sure every so often you like to sit back and put the discovery channel on to watch nature’s finest creations. But rather than experiencing it on a box, why not go out and find it for yourself. Animal watching is great fun, and you can get closer than ever before to your favorite creatures. You can do this in your local area, or you can travel to find the best of nature. If you’re heading into your local area, make sure that you find somewhere like a woodland to explore. Don’t journey in through the day either. Instead, head out in the dark of night. This is when the woods really come alive. We know what you’re thinking, how on earth can I see anything? You can get special Monoculars that allow you to see clearly even in the dead of night. Have a look at a review of these brilliant gadgets on a site like http://www.opticscastle.com/night-vision-monocular-reviews/.
Don’t forget, you don’t have to stay in your local area. You can arrange a safari in Africa online and be there in July next year! Wouldn’t that be a wonderful summer getaway?
Gone Fishin’
This is an experience that requires a lot of patience and concentration, but it can be incredibly rewarding. Particularly, when you reel in your first big catch. Catching a fish isn’t easy. You have to first make sure you get the perfect line and then it’s a waiting game. You need to learn to feel the slightest tug of the line. Once that happens, it’s time to reel them in but not straight away. You need to let them run free a little first. This will make it easier to pull in because the fish will have less energy to fight back. We’re making this sound quite exciting, but it can take hours to get that perfect catch. However, just think about how proud you’ll feel holding that massive fish in your arms. Have a look at http://drowningworms.com/fishing-tips/top-10-fishing-tips/.
Mountain Biking
Do you feel the need for speed and exhilaration? If so, you might want to try mountain biking. Start off on a gentle slope and build up to a rocky terrain. Mountain biking can be dangerous at the best of times so make sure that you get all the safety gear that’s recommended for new bikers. Of course, the trick to the best mountain biking experience is finding the best bike. It’s all about the suspension that provides a little give and a lot of support.
Do any of these ideas tickle your fancy? We think if you give them a try you’ll find a whole new exciting world outdoors.
