Unfortunately for all of us hobbies take time. The majority of Americans spend 50 hours at work slaving for a paycheck. That only leaves about 20 hours a week for a hobby or in most of our cases a list of hobbies. With only 20 hours its best to choose popular hobbies you can do in parallel.
For instance you could pack up the family and take them camping. At the campsite you could swim, fish, read ghost stories, go hunting for dinner (since you didn’t catch any fish), cook up your fresh squirrel, and take a quick hike before it gets to dark. Around the campfire you could play some music and get some much needed sleep. If I counted correctly you’d have done 20% of the 50 most popular hobbies all in one weekend!
Of course there are many other hobbies which are considered to be a little bit more extreme, such as online gambling, bungee jumping, or sky diving. These often cause a major adrenaline rush which generally puts them in the extreme hobbies category. They are still popular choices, especially for vacations.
