    I have a bucket list and have done for a few years. It gets added to and occasionally something gets crossed off.

    Is it strange to actually have a list as opposed to just a few things you’d really like to do?

    Is there anything I’m missing?

    2. Keg stand

    3. Own a Ranger Rover

    4. learn to juggle

    5. drive a tractor

    6. eat boar

    7. eat a cheese fondue

    8. Jet ski

    9. Sail an International moth

    10. Ride a proper DH MTB down a huge mountain

    11. Build a smoker and cold smoke a salmon

    12. Do a big #11 wheelspin in a muscle car

    13. LSD

    14. Do a graffiti

    Number 1. was deliberately cut.

    Besides the Range Rover, they’re all quite obtainable / easy.

    Tractor driving looks awesome!

    12. Explain why the word actual was used in the thread title.

    I agree with your wife on this one! It’s odd, especially as the things on your list are generally easy to sort and do… defeats the object I believe.

    Do the LSD 1st then see how much you want to do the others.

    #11 wheelspin

    What’s one of those then?

    I piloted a helicopter a couple of years ago; I’d definitely add that if, y’know, I hadn’t already done it.

    Eat a cheese fondue…is not a bucket list “thing”… 😆

    swimming with sharks, skydiving, getting blown by a supermodel…these are bucket list “things”

    sticking a piece of bread on a fork into alcoholic melted cheese is not…

    carry on

    I would take tractor off. I drove this one last year. Got in thinking it would take manly power to take control of it. The controls were lighter and just as easy to drive as a car. Certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to do it again

    So-called as you leave a big “11” behind on the road 😀 (surpringly easy and cheap if you happen to be in LA with some time to spare….)

    I have a mental list of things I’d like to do, but I’ve never written it down.

    Slightly more expensive than your list though – if you want to live your list vicariously, I can tick 4 off for you!

    presumably no 1 was some sort of depraved or deviant activity with your wife (or perhaps not!) and she is upset that it features on the same list as fondue, wild boar, smoking your own salmon and jetskiing – any of which you could have done today with almost zero thought or planning… (oh and hot smoked salmon is far nicer!)

    Surely an ‘actual bucket list’ is simply a list of buckets.

    #9 I’m thinking you’re referring to the newer hydrofoiling ones, rather than something like my long lost 70s Skol II design, which wouldn’t challenge my granny….

    You could do a few on that list at the same time..
    Lsd and jet skiing while eating cheese fondu sounds fun.

    Juggling, you can learn in a couple of hours. Start with 1, then 2, and work up to 15 3. Stand facing a wall, then they bounce back into you hand if you throw them a bit forward.

    Cheese Fondue. Give it a miss, rubbish.

    I do a number 1 most days, but not in a bucket.

    Juggling, you can learn in a couple of hours 5 mins.

    I’ve done a disturbingly large number of most people’s bucket list items. I’m waiting to suffer all their deaths.

    Sorry to post and run. We lost internet last night there.

    I said “actual” bucket list as mine’s been written down for years whereas I think most people just have a mental list of a few things they’d like to do.

    My list does seem to be mostly achievable. In fact, every one could be done this week. Not sure my wife would be too happy about buying a RR and emptying the savings account though. Part of the reason haven’t attempted to get them all done is I suspect some of them are disappointing, especially according to this thread; kind of a never meet your heros situation.

    #1 is more like a sub-list – 7 long. Beginning with Rachel Atherton and ending with Kate Hudson.

    I tried to do the #11 wheelspin in my brother’s M3 but couldn’t keep it in a straight line.

    Riding doesn’t feature (besides a full on DH run on a DH bike) as I’m not an adventurous rider. I like 15 miles on a Sunday with 75% familiar trails followed by cake, beer and a bath.

    The ones that have been ticked off are actually the more expensive ones or at least, the ones most of us can’t just do on an afternoon. Dive with sharks. Surf in California. Trek through a jungle. Whale watching. Be on a lifeboat for a slipway launch.

    Yes, the Moth would be something like the pic.
