| | | While exploring an abandoned elementary school, while checking out a couple outbuildings on the property, I spent 5 minutes accessing an open crawlspace type window (open, but surrounded by prickly bushes, small trees, and ivy...not poison tho) because even though I'd confirmed 3 sides inaccessible, I was too lazy to check the opposite side, partly because I'd thought I saw no POE there. No gloves, 93° out, and I'm tangled up in all kinds of spiny, bushy crap to crawl into this small opening, cause I do what I gotta do to get the shot. Once inside, I see two doors opposite me, and as I reach for the knob I'm deluding myself into thinking I'd seen earlier that the doors had been sealed. Well, one was. When I left, I noticed a very concerned Pooh Bear decal on the outside of the door. Lesson? -gloves...get and carry gloves. -FULLY investigate and confirm any/all exit points. -having a funny story to look back on is great, but don't let laziness or inattention cloud a better judgement that might save time, extra pain in the ass work, or (even though it ended ok for me) your life. -itchy, prickly plants...not a great addition to already being sweaty and kinda overheated.
