Camping, traveling, hiking and going places that are enjoyable and accessible with my wife and dogs.
Gardening / homesteading in such a way to live as self-sufficiently as possible.
My way I want to give back in retirement is working as a volunteer urban/wildland canine search and rescue team.
I train my dogs in scent/detection sports and tracking now so I'm prepared to understand how to do the real deal once I have time to volunteer in retirement. My current job is in a related field, so I already have many of the other skills and certifications that would be needed, but I don't work with dogs for my job.
If I need extra income in retirement, I'll probably get into offering dog training for detection/tracking.
I've been training our puppy in scent work. It's pretty fun. He gets so excited when he finds his little birch tree oil soaked cotton ball in a perforated tin.
