	What a load of shit this whole thread is; all of it; bring a fifth of Jack black and some appreciation of the place you are about to visit; let the chips fall where they may. And bring a lighting system. the rest of you with your ghillie suits can go hang. Enough of this shit; learn your history, bring some illumination, end of story. I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying.

	Here's a subject of concern for me, a beginner in the world UE. Are asbestos masks necessary for all exploration of abandoned buildings, regardless of age? "I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones." - John Cage

	not all but i know this much: hospitals built before 1970 usually contain asbestos and for trips you should seriously consider an asbestos mask. as for abandonements in general, it depends how long its been sitting there, you might not need the mask. for places without asbestos, i would perfer to use those little medical white ones.. other than that happy ueing

	Sorry if this is the wrong topic for this thread, but i recently bought an old 1988 British army issue S10 gasmask, and was wondering if anyone knew any tips for maintenance or any links to a site which could tell me?

Get a P100 filter or something thats rated for asbestos..

and as far as asbestos masks and how important they are.. I currently don't own one.. I REALLY should.. but even if there is no asbestos theres a lot of dust and just random crap in abandon places.. the other day there was so much dust and crap in the air we were choking on it.. if anything they would be nice to have..

	But make shure its not an old one, as some may actually contain asbestos in their filters. [last edit 1/3/2006 1:17 AM by MARPAT man - edited 1 times]

Depends upon the thickness and type of material between the radios. The radio waves will only travel so far through different materials.

UHF portable radios (try ebay) are the best for penetrating building walls

	I'm still pretty amateurish in my endeavors. I've only gone into a storm drain, a recently-condemned/now-demolished building, and a few strange nooks in public access buildings where I'm not supposed to go. As such, my equipment list is minimal and not for long missions or any special hazards. Pocket First Aid Kit (Bandaids, iodine and alcohol pads, sterile gauze) waterless soap screwdriver/Gerber tool (flat and phillips) Gloves (Environment dependant - work, leather, or [kevlar - is on my wishlist]) Map (marked escape routes after initial exploration) Ducttape Navy workman's coveralls (zippered - only used for the storm drain and condemned building) Business card & nice-ish clothes [under my coveralls.] (Why? If busted, I'm a graphic designer trying to buff up my personal stock of photos for projects and clients.) Maglite Flashlight Camera & sometimes tripod Chalk So far I've either used deep pockets or a satchel for carrying supplies, but I'm considering investing in a camel back or other such hiking water source. Any reccomendations for what to look for or the brand, or warnings about what NOT to get?

	Small rugged flashlight Sidewalk chalk Wet-Wipes Gloves Zipties Small First-Aid kit Camara Extendable Baton Membership Card to Historical Society I also wear a fishing vest and cargo pants. The vest has a ton of pockets I can store stuff in. It looks suspicious but if you wear it under a hoodie no one will know you have it on ;) I also recommend a cheap GPS unit so you can tell others about an abandoned place without resorting to directions like "it's the fourth road after the cow pasture drive down till you see a big tree then get out and walk through the woods for 10 minutes."

	spare pair of socks in zip lock bag. i mostly do drains, and theses are invaluable esp at 3 am when i have a 1 1/2 to 3 hour bus trip home in soggy shoes ahead of me. personally i like messenger bags coz i can open it on the move, without taking it off, flip in front of me in wet areas, or when ik crawling. and i need a headlamp, i discovered this on my sydney cave clan newbies(3 weeks ago!), when i climbed down 40 metres of rusty debris filled ladders, in the pitch black, coz i couldnt carry my mag lite and my mini mag was on the blink.

	What is some good gear to have when U.E.ing? Being a very outdoorsy (is that a word?!?!) I have acquired a fair bit of gear. Just wondering what is everyones favorite gear to have? Also, maybe some suggestions of some not-so-basic gear. My gear includes: Headlamp w/ optional red lense (for those covert trips) ha ha Gloves Handheld Flashlight Motorolla 2-way Radios Lightsticks G.P.S. (not so needed, but helpful for finding and giving directions) Spare Batteries Digital Camera Spotlight Camelback (for those long treks) Knife Rope&gear SOME surveillance Equip. Most of this stuff of coarse, I do NOT take with every time, but have the option if needed. I would like to learn more about rope and rope safety and also photography and night photography( seems light some of these big places just swallow up your flash) If anyone has any suggestions on Gear,Rope oR photography I would greatly appreciate it.

G.P.S. (not so needed, but helpful for finding and giving directions)
Spare Batteries

A good section to post this in is the UE Tutorials, Lessons, and Useful Info.

As for your list, most of it can be cut down to:

Handheld Flashlight
G.P.S. (not really necessary unless giving info about the site...)
Spare Batteries
Digital Camera
~~Knife~~ (a definite no, if found on you, it can get you in some deep shit.)
Rope & gear (could help)

~~Knife~~ (a definite no, if found on you, it can get you in some deep shit.)

if its a small pocket knife how would you get in deep shit considering lots of ppl carry them around 24/7

its also a good form of protechtion incase you run it to some trouble (from non law enforcement)

Meh, I had a bad experience with the police and having a pocket knife, but people usually don't like knives in the possession of teens anyways, especially in the mall (which I try to avoid.)

	thats true because some idiotic people like to do stupid things with them i guess it depends on who stops you and sees it "brocore"

Lexi location: Oslo, Norway Gender: Female I'm getting old. \|	Re: Good U.E. Gear to Have? <Reply # 457 on 4/11/2006 11:50 PM >

	I have a bit of a rule on knives: Short enough to be legal, long enough to be lethal. Look up the legal measurements for street-carrying knives in your city/state/province. Here it's something like 3 and an a quarter inches, mine's three inches so it's barely legal. Another good idea is a multitool.. they're extremely useful and still have a legal blade that you can use if you're in a tight spot. [15:00:33] <SeeThirty> cause you're not likely to be anywhere that other people haven't been who didn't have protection [15:00:41] <SeeThirty> still better safe than lexi
