Personally I’d say cave diving. I was contemplating between that and free climbing soloing but I honestly rather fall to my death than drown in a claustrophobic, dark, cold, silted up cave.

    Extreme ironing. I don’t see the point of dragging a board and iron anywhere. Even at home I’d rather wear wrinkles than open that board. (which is why I buy perminant press church clothes)

      I almost played Russian Roulette once, thankfully I was late to the game. The guys wanting to play didn’t have a revolver, so they used a semi-automatic pistol. I really dodged a bullet with that one

      I did it one time with a pelvis area harness instead of the feet-hanger shit so I didn’t go upside down. It was like a carnival bungee jump thing that was about 80 feet high, cost $25 to do. It was scary as shit for the moment of falling but once the bouncing started it was pretty dang fun.

    Three years ago, I broke my leg free climbing. It took two and a half years of physical therapy to get back to maybe 80% of what it used to be, and now I have a permanent metal plate. I was lucky it wasn’t any worse.

    I don’t think I’ll ever free climb again, it’s just not worth it. However, I also would never do cave diving.

    Yeah, free soloing is the one. I climb all the time, totally happy doing anything at any height with a rope but without one? Nah.

    a lot of people saying cave diving and I agree it is fucking terrifying and you wouldn’t catch me anywhere near it but you are weightless, if you go somewhere bad you can almost always just go back. Dry caving however has this little thing called gravity, you can get stuck in a hole with no way out, I would honestly rather drown.

    Honestly, I don’t know what’s supposed to be fun about cave diving. Like, normal diving doesn’t push your buttons any more so the next logical step is to go diving in a grave?

    Anvil firing

    You get 2 anvils, stack them on top of each other, the bottom one upside down, pack some gunpowder between them, light it, run, and the top one shoots off into the air and eventually comes back down.

    I’m sure it’s a blast (literally) but I’m not trying to looney tunes myself.
