E: For clarification a “bucket list” is a list of things you want to do/see before you die
Northern Lights IRL
I finally managed to see them a couple years ago when we had that one incredible geomagnetic storm. Be ready for them to just look like faint gray streaks to the naked eye, but look just like those colorful professional photos through a smartphone camera with a night mode.
Uh, my buddy has a few grams left. Although I am more of a Sativa guy myself ;)
AURORA BOREALIS?
YAH!
Get pilot’s license and try ayahuasca. Not necessarily together.
Together would be one hell of a trip. Probably wouldn’t even have to leave the tarmac.
Hahah hopefully you don’t
Write at least one great novel.
Thru-hike the AT. Unfortnatly I work a regular america job. So being insured for 6 months and not being at work is a non-starter for now. Perhaps 2028-2030 will be a better time.
This is something I’ve always wanted to do. However your caveat is my bid non starter. Especially given you’re at higher risk for injury
- Get a bucket.
Mostly travel, but the list continually grows after I visit a place, and thus will never be exhausted.
I have rudimentary woodshop skills and want to build my own kitchen and bath cabinets. I still have a lot to learn.
There are a lot of books i want to read; another never ending list.
Learn a new language; working on German.
I would like to be presented with more opportunities that I wouldn’t have thought about of my own accord … I’ve tried to follow through on “you only regret the things you don’t do”, and most if the time it’s been positive. And when it wasn’t, it either made for a funny story later, or it was educational
- A lot of travel-related ones. Still haven’t gone to even every country in Europe yet, and I’ve never had a chance to even set foot in South America, Africa, and Australia
- Getting really, really good at something. I’ve gotten quite good at some video games before, but I want to be close to a pro (and I don’t mean it lightly) at at least one thing
That’s probably it

Explore the other side of the world. Lock in a solid, long-term investment that generates steady income. Pick up a used fishing yacht, both for fun and to make some extra cash on the side. Who knows if I’ll get around to it, but I’ll add it anyway 😂
Sail the Greek Islands.
Visiting all the national parks I can and even a few world heritage sites would be nice.
As far as doing things, I’d like to build some heirloom furniture, a couple of stringed instruments, and maybe a canoe. Might even go full Thoreau/Dick Proennecke and build a cabin out in the wilderness.
Diving in Raja Ampat, Hawaii, Great Barrier Reef, Phillipines, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, and anyplace else with a reef system. Bonne Terre Mine if I have a dry suit.
Build a solar powered trimiran to travel to most of the above.
Teach others with a love of water who had a really shitty childhood how to dive and hand them the equipment so they can experienced the underwater world.
There are some obituaries that I’m really looking forward to reading
I wanted to get a bachelor degree, so I did that last month. Now I’m going to get a motorcycle license.
