When people ask me what I do in my spare time, I don't say "go lift weights". It's part of my life. If I wake up that Mon/Wed/Fri every week, I'm lifting weights that day, you dig?
With that in mind, my friend asks me if I'm going to her B-day party on Friday (squat focus day). This is my asst best friend, BTW. She says it'll be at her house, (which is on farm property,) I say sure.
Well, I get there and they're gathering materials for a bonfire, and later that night, after the shaving cream fight, the fire starts to die down. we go to the wood pile, and I see this big oak tree trunk, about 4 feet long, and about 2 feet in diameter. I also see a 20-ft (+-6 meter) chain with hooks. The trunk weighs about 150 lbs, and had a limb that was cut off, leaving a sharp little stump sticking out the side.
Seeing this, (and seeing that there was a PWO meal-chicken) I get the chain around the log, wrap it around my waist, and get to pumping. The cut-off limb digs into the ground like a plow, adding resistance. I pull this about 200-250 feet to the bonfire, and two other guys toss it on the fire.
After, I had some chicken, to serve as a PWO meal. Not ideal for PWO, but it's still protein.
It just goes to show you that if you've got the BBing spirit/mentality, you can live life and still complete your training, in some way or another.
