What's on your Bucket List?

[Greg]

I always hear people talking about their Bucket List and some of the goals they want to accomplish in this life... and while I feel like I've done a lot of great things and have been fortunate in that aspect, I don't really have a 'bucket list' of my own. I guess if I had some items to put on a list, they would be...

• Ride the Baja Peninsula top to bottom, offroad, on a dual sport.
  
• Explore South America on motorcycle.
  
• Explore and hike in Alaska.
  
• Visit and explore Africa.
  
• ..... ?

I'm amazed with what some of you guys have done and heard about some great plans. I'd like to hear what you all have on your Bucket List.... perhaps I'll get some ideas to add to mine!

Great idea for a thread Greg. These have been floating around in my mind, but actually making a list makes it real. I've checked a lot of stuff off my bucket list the last few years, but here's what's left:


4x4 trips:
- the Rubicon (this September!)
- Comb Wash
- Ride as a passenger on Pritchett
- complete the Kokopelli Trail
- take the Pony Express Trail to Wendover


Other outdoorsy stuff
- hike calf creek falls
- complete the subway
- complete the narrows
- hike angels landing
- do at least 10 more slot canyons
- hike bluejohn canyon again
- visit Yellowstone
- go on a multi-day river kayak camping trip
- camp in Montana
- ride 5moh
- ride every inch of rideable trail up AF Canyon
- camp/explore in the La Sal mtn range
- learn survival skills better
- learn to flyfish like a pro. (part of this includes getting over my fear of touching live fish)


Other
- have children
- learn to save money better
- be a better husband (copied from gravesdiggerxj's list)
- make lots of great memories with my family
- learn to be a better photographer/videographer to capture these memories
- learn to enjoy fully what I have (copied from gravesdiggerxj's list, this one is difficult for me)
- finish my PhD someday
- take the wife skydiving
- learn another language (or 2 or 3???)

Land a backflip on a wakeboard
Roundoff back handspring backfull
Master my Temper.
Be a better husband.
Be a Dad.
Go to/ compete in King of the Hammers

Get a shop with AC and heat!

good list! I like the part about saving money better. I am THE worst at it!

 

[mbryson]

In for the following

• Rubicon in my current Jeep item
• Play golf at Pebble Beach
• buy a house in the Carribean and retire there
• find a way to haul my Jeep and camp in comfort enough for my woman to come with me
• watch my kids grow into functional adults---0/1 so far there, but he's fouling a few balls off now vs. getting beaned
• hang out with BC more often --he can teach me to be old

 

[jeeper]

- have children
- learn to save money better

As a father of 3, I can tell you this is an oxymoron!

 

[jeeper]

-Pay off the mortgage
-Earn $100k/year in Passive income
-Raise responsible, faithful children.
-Live on 5-10 Acres
-Visit every sand dune park in the U.S.A
