< on 7/4/2006 4:10 AM >
|  | | | I was just wondering what you do after an exploration, particularly when it's messy.
For example, the shoes/boots you wear. They make contact with the floors of the places you explore - do you wear those same shoes into your car, your home? Do you use UE-only shoes/boots or are they the same footwear you use in your daily life?
Your clothes. Some of your clothing may touch parts of the places you explore. For example, sitting in a movie theatre seat makes me not want to then sit on the couch in my home knowing how damn dirty that seat can be. Post-UE, do you disrobe when you get home and dump your UE clothes in the hamper or do you just wear them for the rest of the day?
Clean bodies. Your hands or other body parts may come in contact with a place you UE. For example, would you explore then immediate eat food with your hands? When you get home do you take an extra long shower to wash off the grime of UE (air borne debris, etc)?

| | | | My shoes are the thing I’m most particular about, If I’ve been some where exceptionally gross I’ll spend as much time as it takes with a puddle, a stick and some grass. If I need to leave fast or there are no good puddles, I’ll put them in a plastic grocery bag I keep in my car just for this, and drive home in my socks. As far as clothes go usually have a T-shirt under my exploring clothes, I just take off the outer shirt if it gets dirty. Usually only the front of my pants get dirty, mostly from climbing and crawling, so I don’t worry about them. If they get to dirty I keep a garbage bag in the car and just sit on it until I get home, wash my clothes and definitely take a shower. I have stopped at restaurants on the way home, (people are used to seeing dirty construction workers and so on,) so I don’t get a lot of looks, but I sure wash my hands, face and as far up my arms as I can get.

| | | | Nope, I've been exploring in area's with asbestos, and areas that are just plain filthy, Only time I ever changed or showered when I got home was when I fell into a sceptic (septic)? tank and well I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

| | | | If my clothes are really dirty and stink like a corpse, I might dump them in the laundry basket. If I can't recognize the person looking me in the mirror, I might take a shower. However, usually I just wash my hands.
It's strange how some explorers just stay clean while some look like they've been wading in a sewer or rolling in limestone dust, even though everyone has just been walking around.

| | | | Depends entirely on the location. I'm not as freaked out by asbestos and chemicals as some people. A lot of places I go, I just wash my hands and go on with my life. Places that I wear my protective boots and cut resistant gloves, I generally go by the carwash and spray them off. Certain mines and old buildings are full of pigeon, mouse and bat crap. For those I rip off my clothes in my back yard and as soon as I get in the door of the house everything including boots and gloves goes straight into the washer. I figure cigarettes will get me. No need to tempt hanta virius.
I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.

| | | | Washing ... and brain-washing.
I dunno. Unless my immediate health or safety is at risk, I don't worry about it.
Usually I'll leave a site and go get something to eat.
I'll wash my clothes eventually.
And I've been wearing the same pair of boots for 3 years.
Haven't died yet.

| | | | Hah, in one favourite location of mine, the best food in town is served on the same property where the UEing is at. That definitely merits a good hand/face wash before consumption.
I almost always where GI surplus clothes while exploring. Comfortable, plenty of pockets, easy to wash, and just looks cool.

Everyone on UER keeps telling me that poking around in abandoned buildings (or doing anything shady) in Army Surplus clothing automatically makes law enforcement open fire on you. Like its part of their protocol or something.
I don't know if that's the truth or a weird post-Columbine fantasy, but it looks like you're doing alright.

sometimes i even put on some spiked heels to complete the look.

| | | | Haha femaledragon.
Most of the time I find a Wendys or something and stop to at least wash my hands before i grab a bite to eat. I sometimes wash up to my elbows if I was wearing a tee shirt.
When I get home I take a shower, and just wash my clothes when i get a chance.
Most of the time I dont have to worry about my shoes because there's not much on em but dust from plaster and all that brushes off in weeds.
If anything I try to wash my backpack. Somehow it always gets absolutely covered in mud or something.

| | | | Normally I wear layers, so the outer layer can come off, and get shoved in a bag along with the camera, lighting gear, and so on. I also like head-coverings, like a scarf, bandana, or anything else to a) keep fallout out of my hair and b) keep neon colors from being seen at a distance.
Normally I come out of a location nice and thirsty and desperately seeking a restroom, so the hands get their cleaning pretty quickly, along with the face, and I always like to blow my nose and find what fun colors of the trip come out! I'll typically spend the entire walk away from the site scraping my boots on the grass or concrete, and once in a rare while passersbys are lucky enough to find me changing my pants in or near the car. If I'm unlucky, I will forget I shoved clothing in the exploring bag, and on the next venture, will open it up to find a smelly surprise waiting for me. I'm not want to roll around in dust and asbestos when I'm exploring, tempting as it often is, so an immediate shower isn't always called for.
And MutantMandias has the right idea. I think I'll try that next time.
