Go hiking, exercise, play sports with your mates. Take up a physical hobby like blacksmithing, electronics even woodworking. Spend the weekends on small projects, DIY drones, a wooden sculpture, a small knife made from recycled corrugated steel. Join a volunteer group, do charity work, help out in the soup kitchen. Nowadays it’s easier than ever to not consume content.

Not the person you’re answering to, but: You say this as if everybody enjoys manual labor, sports and/or outdoor activities. None of the proposed activities elicits the least amount of interest for me, for example.

And many of those activities include consumption. If you’re doing more than casual hiking, you probably aren’t using second-hand shoes from the thrift store.

The point it being is that consumption plays a supportive role in the activity. Consumption is NOT the activity. You buy shoes to do the activity instead of you buy a movie to watch the movie.

More people should try barefoot hiking. I love it, but most people I know, they don’t even try it

People should go outside atleast. The sun is bright and beautiful, the skies blue, the beaches are warm and the ocean smells kinda salty.

Some people are out doors all day for work… They may not want their hobbies to reflect their work

100% agreed.
