If you want to Live Your List, it makes sense for you to actually make a Bucket List. The best way to make a list is to research other awesome lists to generate ideas. I have combined my Bucket List with Jerrod Murr’s list for you to read, copy, or add to your list. Let me know which one of these 281 buckets you want to check off of your list.

There are guides to tour you and give lectures about the place.
There are mountain hikes and camping and scuba diving along with other activities
to be done while on tour. Alternately, some feel that by exposing
Antarctica to people, these people will become moved
to involve themselves in its protection.
Thanks for the advice! Have you been there?
I was reading this list and I saw that you put plant a masters commission! Just wanted to say that I love that it is on your list. I just graduated my second year at Crossroads Masters Commission!
That is awesome! Congrats on graduating.
I put a lot of things on my list
That is great!! Which one do you want to do the most?
I just attended a speaking engagement this weekend with Anthony Reed, one of only a handful of people on earth to have run a marathon in all 50 states and on all seven continents. He has over 125 medals and even showed us pictures of his marathon in Antarctica! He talked about his bucket list and inspired me to create one of my own. Not only do I love a lot of items on this list, I also love that I’ve done some of them too. It reminds me that even though I want to do a lot, that I’ve been lucky enough to have done a lot already. Gratitude.
Jason!
This is a great post. Thanks for the kind words. Live Your List!
282. Die happy
don’t forget
Pepper spray something
-i know you all want to do that
Although I love a good pepper spray, I don’t know if it makes my list. However, I have seen many people that wanted to get pepper sprayed! Do you?
Accidentally pepper sprayed myself once. Not as enticing as it sounds…
OH and just a heads up…water makes it worse…so much worse!
Ouch! I will keep that in mind if I ever get pepper sprayed!
great life bub
Thanks Chris!
I am guessing that Jerrod’s list is the alphabetized one.
You are 100% correct!
I see the need for a list now. If I don’t know what I want I end up with no buckets and getting nothing done.
This is a great list, definitely added some onto my own. However, you repeated several of yours such as the world cup and the northern lights, so the title of the article is inaccurate.
Great eye! I combined Jerrod’s list with my own, and I tried to omit the ones that were duplicates, but obviously not well enough.
To LIVE in a treehouse is HIGH UP on my bucket list. So, you could do your #150 and make us both very happy. 🙂
Make it happen!
Do you guys have these somewhere placed in categories? Having problems with ones considered “Luck” and those considered “Random”
I don’t think we do Bob! That is a great idea and I am adding it to my hustle list.
Pleasantly surprised that I have already completed a great number of these without them being in my bucket list. The next block of items to check off my list are related to my business…write a book, be on a national morning show…Planning to grow Pro31 Image BIG this year! Thanks for the motivation!
This is a great bucketlist, love how it’s organised as well.
I really want to write an autobiography one day.
just published mine but got some good ideas from yours! awesome!
http://www.bucketeacher.com
hi there, great list, got a few ideas, currently building my own site http://www.bucketeacher.com i hope you check it out!
Hey Ryan,
Great post. Got my mind thinking of some things I need to check off my list. I am visiting Acadia National Park and Jamaica this summer – hopefully it will be a good opportunity to get some of these items off my list. Thanks – J
nice list!
BTW: the castle (nr. 262) is called neuSCHWANstein and not neuSCHWEINstein. “schwan” means swan but “schwein” means pig. 😉 😉 😉
#8 will be a little hard to achieve -especially as the last shuttle launched 2 years before this list was posted
Maybe needs to be amended to read “Watch a rocket launch for space”
I would add:
Adopt a dog/cat from a shelter
Recue a animal
Volunteer at a shelter
Volunteer at a soup kitchen or elder home
Help a homeless person
There is a lot of joy in helping other people and beings. Those are also things you won’t ever regret or forget.
