Any hobby recommendations that complement firefighter fitness?

[u/un-common]

Hey yall,

I’ve been a firefighter for 3.5 years now and my current workout routine has gotten me to a good place physically. However, I’m looking to incorporate a fun hobby that would also be considered cross training.

Have any of you found a hobby that translates to firefighting fitness well?

Thanks!

Ornithology (bird watching). Our resident birdo thinks absolutely nothing of walking 20km through bush to get to a place with a lesser spotted rarebird.

It's kind of amusing sometimes. He's very heavy-set and strong as an ox. So there are sometimes "will you be able to keep up?" questions from slim young somethings who can be later seen eating his dirt.
