What are some skills that can be turned into hobbies that would be good for a Leftist to know? (hexbear.net)

Like the title! I want to cultivate some helpful skills but do so gradually, as a hobbyist. Tempted to get into lockpicking, haha.

Walking is cheaper than most other hobbies think-about-it

It's worth investing in good hiking boots to spare your feet/ankles and a good daypack to protect your spine/shoulders. You can do it for free or get those things second-hand for cheap, but I ended up putting around $300 into my gear once I got serious about that and camping.

Lots of good dry cushy socks too!
