 |  | My first UER expedition. Opinions not wanted.
< on 1/6/2008 1:03 AM >
|  | | | Well I did my first UER yesterday. A friend said he knew of an abandoned factory way out in the sticks about 2 hours south of here. We loaded into his car and drove down to the place. On the way down we got puled over by the cops for a random breath-o. The cops asked where we were headed so we told them the name of the nearest town. "What are you guys planning to do there?" He asked. There were 4 of us in the car, all young and dodgy looking. So I said "We’re gonna borrow my uncle’s shotgun, shoot some pigs, let off some fire crackers and get drunk." The cop just stopped what he was doing and looked at us. My mate Jonno said "Bullshit! We’re going to explore an abandoned factory." Then my other mate said "Then we’re going to get drunk and shoot pigs." We all burst out laughing because the cop looked so worried. My mate Rob pointed to some fishing gear he had and said "We’re going fishing officer." The cop looked at us like we were idiots but let us go on our way after Rob tested fine for beer breath.
So we got to the site, parked the car, hopped a fence and walked in. Three stories of madness, 4 if you count this sort of top story. We walked around, explored, climbed shit, had fun. So you regular experienced types can give your opinions on it all, Origato was dressed by himself. Shoes were supplied by Target, clothing by Lowes. My bag was supplied by ‘Oh my god I wasn’t wearing one, but it was it good enough for UERing? And my flashlight was a ‘I didn’t use one’ brand.
Yep, I went in unprepared! It was fucking amazing that I made it out alive. Not a single piece of trendy or high tech shit on me! Shit, and worse still, we went without wifi or a first aid kit! What sort of UERs are we?
On the way back we explored two drains. One was low and shit the other was low but interesting. We used a ‘it cost $3 at the supermarket’ brand flashlight and to keep or feet dry we didn’t. Yeah, we walked in the water. In bare feet. Probably gonna die or get lambasted for not wearing Nike shoes or tabi boots or some such trendy shit. But we enjoyed the second drain. Took some pictures, worded up on the walls.
Yeah, the whole day was fun. We just got out there and did it. No real preparation, no trendy gear full of the latest high tech. Just did it. But I gotta ask, was my bag good enough for UERing? Does this hobby make my ass look big?
Fuck - why can't I edit my poll. Too many fucking spelling errors in it. Oh well I'm just a dumb ass Noob, no one will mind. :0)

| | | | Oh yeah, and sweet thanks to the guys who explained the difference between UERing and UEing to me. Where do I send that cash to for that lesson? I need a big sticker that says dumb ass to stick on my back pack.

See, that was our fucking problem! Not one of us had any of that professional gear on. Fuck, we didn't even have gloves on. Now how the shit are we supposed to be hard core if we don't wear gloves? We'll never be ninja uber UE warriors at this rate. How the hell are we supposed to make uber UE discoveries and get street cred if we don't even have a 50 million candle power spot light or a respirator that lets us breathe an a 100% methane atmosphere. Shit, may as well give up even buying a back pack if I don't have all that shit to put in it.
Damn if we 4 boys from a hick country town will ever make it as UE gods what with our cheap shoes and dime store flashlights. Because after all, that's not what UE is all about is it?
Yeah, well we're going exploring the local drain for the 21st time again tonight. And yeah, we're gonna do it in our cheap shoes, using our cheap flash lights drinking our cheap beer. And we're gonna tag up using our cheap graf paint.
UE, the sport of the technological elite! 
Yeah, sarcasm is a wonderful thing.

You being a dumb ass and you being a Noob are two separate issues. The Noob one will probably resolve itself in time, but regarding the other matter, it's not looking too promising.

Hey thanks mate for that sagely advice. I can see that you being a 'leet uber donator and everything makes your opinion so highly valued over a Noobs. Yeah, I really appreciate your opinion.
Fuck, where's my Noob target. I gotta wear that for three years right? Then I go on probation? Or something that rhymes with that. Oh god, yeah that's right, Noobs shouldn't have opinions or speak up. What's the rule, speak only when spoken to and then only to ask dumb ask questions that make sense only to you but for which every one else wil riddicule you for. Right on! This is my kind of a hobby!
Now where's me fucking beer? I'm going draining. I know that's not what the hobby is about but I'm a Noob and have no fucking idea about what I am doing.

| | | | You have to slowly put together a proper bag. You must get the best gear to survive out there. Do you own a tranquilizer gun, flares and a wifi capable DSLR? Remember, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing. Go out there without these and your exploration will be about as thrilling as a trip to a suburban library. Your local Chinatown might have tunnels, so check that out eventually. If the larger sites are intimidating, try listening to some Herbie Hancock to get into the right frame of mind.
It's not just about some bag. You'll need a quality set of automobiles too. When draining in rich hoods, you can choose an Alfa to blend right in. But in other places, a Grand National will do. Some sites are accessible by boat only, so a catamaran of some sort might be necessary. I recommend the Ford F-Series or a Silverado for towing. Also, skydiving skills are useful, because you will then be able to land on locations. I'm not even going to mention SCUBA, because if you don't have those skills, you should something else to do.
Be safe, and watch out for mole people and avian flu...

Oh holy shit! Now not only am I a Noob but now I'm a Noob who makes shit up. Now that's gotta really suck. I have a $12 disposable camera. Does that qualify me?
Fuck, how the hell am I supposed to prove my mate was pulled over for a breath-o now. Because hell yeah, you all know I'm a Noob and would make that shit up.
Hey, Crazyman, I like your style. You wanna tell me how I can add you to my list of buddies. I mean this is a poor cousin of MySpace right?
And hey Hooligan, on a serious note no hard feelings, but hell dude you walked into that one. I mean look at this tread. Dumb ass crazy Noob sprouting about the UE 'Leet and you gotta wade in there and smack the face of some guy you never even met. Of course I'm gonna smack you right back. Shiyt, next time I'll make up a sign. Beware, smart ass with no respect for 'leet UERs.
But yeah, I will now bow to your all know UEing intelligence. Sorry for the independent thoughts. It won't happen again. ;) Much.

$12 dollars for a disposable camera? I sense a full membership
coming your way! That should give them all the proof they need, plus they're good for getting photos of orbs, so you can prove all the naysayers wrong...
