Middle Aged Bucket List for men
So looking for ideas to fill in on my list.....
Something I wanna do that I have not done in a long time (since teen years) go camping....
Wanting some ideas from other guys on here.....something that allows me to get out and enjoy life, do something that I would regret not doing....
Thanks for any input.

There are plenty of places I'd still like to visit including:
(Safari in) Africa
Brazil
India (especially a railway journey)
I'd like to go Wild Camping (technically illegal in much of the UK)
I'd like to walk both my daughters down the aisle.
I'd like to throw a big party when I've paid my mortgage off.
I'd like to take my wife to New York for a long weekend.
I have some specific lifting goals, but they tend to be yearly rather than bucket list type goals.

Thank you for the input....A trip to Africa could be fun.
I have one daughter, so not sure I want that day of walking down the aisle with her to come to quickly
I'm recently divorced so there's that....
What is Wild Camping though?0 -
Wild camping is camping in the wild, as opposed to camp sites.
In the US this is the typical way to camp but in the UK most camping takes place on campsites where you park you car next to your tent and the site has facilities such as toilets, washing up areas, and even cafes and social clubs with bars. They are often used as family holiday locations.
I think the typical UK type of camping (on a campsite) would be called Car Camping (not to be confused with sleeping in your car) in the US?0 -

On horses?
That has to be one tough sport to develop good skills with.0 -
In the US we call this "Wild camping" "dispersed" camping. Sometimes "backcountry camping".
We call campsite camping "car camping" as well.0 -

Ah I see...

Wild camping is something I would want to do as well....never really done that myself.0 -

No I won't reject.
Very good ideas, thank you!!!!
I have been to the Grand Canyon, have not backpacked it....the place is beautiful....pictures do not do it justice at all....
Hiking is something I think I would like to do.0 -
Rent a Ferrari and drive the Stelvio pass in Italy (google it if you don't know what it is)
Gumball 3000 in a rented Ferrari (everyone should drive one at least once before they die)
Go to Australia
Learn to Scuba
Drive an Indy car.. (I did .. Amazing !!)
Take a performance driving course .. learn to drive like a pro.
Become Skydiving certified
Learn to use a wing suit
Go to Germany during Oktoberfest
Take 3 mo and travel around Europe and see as many countries as you can.
Go to Tahiti
Go to Alaska and take an Alaskan cruise.. finish in Dutch harbor when the crab boats come in.
Take a trip to your favorite destination and stay in the finest hotels and eat the finest foods, and see the best shows/sights spare no expense.. (My adventure was 2 weeks in Vegas in the Penthouse suit of the Signature MGM, rented a Ferrari and a Lamborghini for the weekend and saw ever show we could imagine. VIP access to clubs, tables and bottle service.)
Do you have a favorite singer or entertainer ? Get VIP access or back stage passes and meet them.
Do something exceptional for your fellow man/woman. Participate in a charity event, volunteer at a VA hospital for wounded warriors.. Give back. Don't just give money you must take a first had role in helping others
Conquer a fear.. what ever it is that scares you the most face it head on and kick its *kitten*...

Okay if you like hiking and the grand canyon, definitely hit up the southern Utah national parks-arches, Bryce, Zion's, capital reef, etc. Red rocks, hiking, and you can even try canyoneering and rockclimbing.0

I recently was chatting with a 54 years old and he was telling me he considers himself middle aged which made me chuckle.
Well if you conceder the average life span of a male to be about 77-78 then 36-39 would be middle aged

The Ptarmigan Traverse. I've done the first bit and it was incredible. Need better glacier and rock skills for the rest though. I'm probably closer to being in shape for it than I ever have been. Here's a picture of my friend Leroy who kept me company at Sahale Glacier Camp; Sahale Peak is traditionally the first one you climb on the Ptarmigan Traverse.
Here's a shot looking down the Sahale Glacier. I eventually reached a crevasse and turned back.
I've been wanting to go back and spend a night at Sahale with my nice camera. It's an extra 10 pounds. The camp is a 6 or 7 mile hike with 4,200 feet of elevation gain, so I really don't want to carry the extra weight. But I want better pics.

Go diving in the South Pacific.
Drink some rum drinks with little paper umbrellas while watching the sun go down in the South Pacific.
Watch/cycle during the Giro d'Italia (I've already been to the Tour de France a few times)
Learn French and make witty remarks to the girls while sitting at a sidewalk cafe in Paris.
Hit Mardi Gras in NO to watch the zoo walk by.
Learn to play the guitar REALLY WELL (not like the crap playing I do now) and join a geezer band.
Stop working my tail off and live like Thurston Howell III (maybe my lotto ticket will finally pay off)
