I know that this forum has a lot of really interesting members from all over America as well as England. I am curious about what hobbies or interests that you have when you are not busy prepping. Here is my short list in the order that I favor them: (other than my wife who is and will always be first!!)

(1) Grandkids....we have 5 with #6 on the way and they are one of the main reasons I prepare for SHTF.
(2) Cars/driving. I own a 2004 Corvette Z06 and love to prowl the Ozark hills and curves in it and also autocross it once a month and drag race it a few times a year. I have been into cars since my teens and have tried a few times to shake this expense hobby with no luck. I am totally addicted.
(3) Martial arts & working out. I have been into martial arts since I was like 17 and have a black belt Taekwondo and have been studying Hapkido since the 1990's. I work out at least once a day, every day unless I am sick and that is a rare event.
(4) Firearms. I dig all type of guns, old guns, new guns, little guns, big guns...I really like big guns. Another expensive hobby that I was not able to shake off.
(5) Partying on the lakes or streams. I love summer and love floating around when it is really hot with my wife and our friends, consuming beer and listening to loud music.
(6) Spending time with my grown kids and their families. I cook out a lot all year around weather permitting and we have kids over weekly if not more often. We have 3 grown sons and one grown daughter and they are an intricate part of our SHTF group. Each possesses their own talent which will be handy if the time ever comes that we need to use them.

Guns & shooting sports

Whitetail hunting (kinda follows the guns & shooting part)

Old cars (have a Javelin & a AMX in the garage)

Reading & listening to audio books I get from the local libaray

Beer & brewing

Veggie gardening
I dig AMX's and Javelins. One of my friends in high school bought a new Mark Donahue edition Javelin in 1970 and kept in until the late 90's when he needed funds to put his daughter through college. He still gets misty eyed talking about it.

When I take the AMX to car shows, people are alway walking up & telling me their story of a buddy that had one in highschool/college, that would blow anyones doors off. Funny thing is, my Javelin is much faster than the AMX.
One of my college roommates had a 1970 AMX, red with black stripes and a 4 speed. It only had the 290 engine and he was always talking about swapping out with the 390 but instead just wrapped it around a telephone pole back in 1972 which cured his itch. I still race my car at least once a month usually just low speed autocross but also an occasional romp on the dragstrips. For a basically bone stock Vette I am running 12.38 @ 118.8 MPH on street tires.
