When you are scouting there could be methheads, devil worshipers and Falun Gong members. How are you going to defend yourself?

Pepper spray, light and effective

I always bring a sniper rifle and some grenades, with a mortar crew dug in back at the parking spot just in case.
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

Serious I always keep a blade with me. If it's truly sketchy I bring a pistol.

I'm not really into the American gun culture thing and I don't feel particularly threatened when I go exploring somewhere, so I don't feel the need to get a weapon when exploring. If the place is occupied by sketchy people, I would just slowly walk away.

I've never carried one. Then again, I've never run into any scary people.

depends on my mood and where im headed.
i ALWAYS carry a knife, but thats a tool, not a weapon.
a 6 cell mag is good, but if i dont have that, i have a pistol on me.
i used to carry my .40, but now that i have a little 380 that fits in my pocket, i carry that

Being female and often traveling solo in remote desert locations, I am almost always armed. When I meet people in the places I travel, the folks I meet are likely as not to be armed as well. It's much more likely that they will ask me how I like the particular weapon than to be put off by it. I would be VERY unlikely to open carry in an urban environment. I need to renew my concealed carry permit...

I AM the weapon.

it all depends on the location and who I am with. But, I almost always have 1. Snickers bars, 2. Kershaw. and 3. Para-ord 1911 s/c.
When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store. |

I rarely feel threatened when I scout or explore a site, so I don't put a lot of thought into the subject. However, I do carry a 3 inch (it's the legal limit in my state) knife with me at all times, mostly for if I get tangled, etc., but I guess it could do damage if need be. But mostly I'd rely on easily accessible pepper spray and a good ol' Maglite.

No but I am from the UK. Only thing I carry is my tripod that could be used,never had a y problems. Have bumped into homeless people, metal thieves and teenager's most of the time they are just relieved that your not the police.
sometimes they even give you tip and advise on the place.

I have carried a hunting rifle for self-defense against wildlife in certain places I've explored. However, in my own country I see no reason to carry any kind of weapon because I don't feel myself threatened.
edit: I do have a titanium crowbar in my car, though, just behind the seat. For obvious reasons I won't take it with me when I enter abandoned places, but I'm a bit afraid of road rage and coming across a situation where I might have to go between two fighting parties to defend the other.
Yes, it's titanium alloy. The ultimate urban explorer's novelty item...

I have a fishing knife I usually carry as well as a trusty canister of pepper spray. The spray will be the first thing I pull, and the knife is more of a tool, but also a last resort.

I carry a grenade!
