Hello everyone, story time!
So upon surveying what method I was going to use to enter my last exploration which was an OLD 2 story house I found lots of little booby traps. One of which being a half attempt at a spike pit. I noticed this one luckily, because it was already half collapsed on itself. It was most likely something a kid had built as a fort or something. The grass was so tall it was almost a doozie though. As I continued pacing the perimeter and slowly moving closer in to my goal, I stepped on some small but very efficient animal trap. Now, as I mentioned the grass was very tall so that padded some of it along with my boots, but I never even saw this thing. I only heard it... And then felt it. Moral of the story, like the landmines still planted in Africa from wars of the past, be careful wandering unknown places. I know that's a given, but I got a nice sharp reminder 2 days ago.
