A full broadside from an 18th Century frigate - the ultimate in black powder. Maybe Smelly Dog could join me on the quarter deck? I’d put Muir in charge of the gun deck…any volunteers to be powder monkeys?

I'm in .

Basejumping. The wing suit variety. From the Murren side of lauterbrunnen valley.

Oh to be 18 again.

My Swiss grandfather was a doctor in the LB/Wengen area for many years. Base jumpers and skiers contributed indirectly to the deposit on my first house

I'd suggest a paragliding from Kleine Scheidegg or Mannlichen would give you 99% of the view with possibly 50% of the andrenalin rush and would give you time to take it in. But maybe I'm missing the point there.

A weekend or even just a couple of hours playing with one of these:

Had one many years ago.

It was very very small, but I did have one

Agree on this - Paragliding is very accessible. A tandem "glide" gives spectacular views and a surprising amount of adrenaline. Something about hitting thermals with the birds and enjoying the same views with just the rushing wind is a great experience. For added adrenaline, do a tandem run with a pilot who doesn't speak your language. Did this in Colombia, my instructions were "correr, correr" (run, run) and off the top of the mountain we went. I forgot to ask the procedure for landing, but the pilot was good and not a bruise or sprain was had. As soon as I did it, I wanted to do it again.

Bait prairie dogs around a Tannerite filled stuffed beast then as the numbers peak blow the Tannerite! However, the downside is grass in the summer months around here is very dry the flame front from the blast would cause wildfire. The only reason I haven't done this.

Rest my back by retiring my chainsaw and doing any further tree cutting/splitting with primacord.
