It wasn't so much WHAT you said, rather, HOW you said it. You sounded like a cop snooping around for information.

| | | Posted by tribeachpunk In the winter months I'm extra weary of sketchy flooring. Dirty ice (floating on deep, dark waters) can look a lot like a cement floor in a dark room.
|
However, deep, dark, sketchy waters are also sometimes frozen, allowing entry or crossing of otherwise irretrievably flooded areas. Although, I've been known to just go right into the flooded area anyway, regardless of being solid...

You're right. A few locals went out on the ice at an old RCAF base in the middle of winter (2007) and were successful. It looked pretty dangerous though. http://www.uer.ca/...=20824&galid=21952 When we went back in the spring (2008) and nearly walked out on the same ice inadvertently, in the dark. It looked like a dirty cement floor. We had heard from others that it might have been dry.. Not so much. http://www.uer.ca/...=20824&galid=24997

| | | -Easier to see: in winter, the ground and most surfaces are covered in white. This means that if you are wearing a black jacket, you will stick out like a sore thumb. Also, nighttime is 'brighter' so to speak, so again you will be more visible than you would in warm months. -Watch your footprints: in the snow, your footprints and tire tracks can give you away. Not a very big deal if it's powdery snow and windy out, but other than that fresh tracks leading up to the door or window of some big abandoned factory are a dead giveaway. -Manholes frozen: in the winter, manhole covers and similar objects may be frozen shut. If you plan to enter a drain at one point and leave somewhere else, be sure to have a backup plan. -Floors, ice, and collapse: snow piled up on top of something is heavy. Be wary when you are under a large, flat, rotten roof with a few inches of the white stuff on it. It can come down at any second, either the snow, the roof, or both. Secondly, watch out for ice. You may not see that little patch of ice on the floor in front of you, slip, fall, break your neck, and not be able to call for help. Also, if a room or basement is flooded, be extremely careful if you want to put your weight on that ice. It may not be thick enough to hold your weight. -Take it slow: this is the most important one. Whether you drive, walk, bike, crawl, swim, ski, snowboard, surf, waddle, or slide your way to an abandonment or storm drain, TAKE IT SLOW. Roads and sidewalks are terribly treacherous in the winter, I almost lost my 96 Mustang GT to a ditch six times today. That was driving to an fro walmart, which was only a mile away.

| | | Posted by YourMainParadox hahaha what winter are you talking about? I am in florida The only thing I really worry about is more homeless/ bums inside these locations during cooler/ cold times... any experience?
|
I've been thinking the same thing! Has anyone else found that there are more bums inside abandonments when it's cold?

Absolutely! And not just abandonments either, in this area at least, they'll move into the drains so long as there is a dry spot big enough to sleep on or so long as the flow stays low enough that they can throw down a skid or two to sleep on top of. Pretty brilliant idea if you ask me, dangerous, but once it's snowing weather I can't imagine you'd have to worry about a flash drain flood unless it was a particularly hot melt day.

| | | Posted by Ogre Battle I dress like a construction worker in the winter. Big, heavy Carhartt coveralls are warm and rugged and if they get dirty or ripped, it just adds to the look of authenticity.
|
I would think that Carhartts would be the best exploring clothes anyway since they're made for rugged work site conditions. After all, dress the part, right? Why dress up in BDUs like a bunch of mall ninjas when you're going into an abandoned building that any hired professional would be going into wearing Carhartts and a hard hat?

Damn that was fun!! I'm glad it was a local guy who nearly got killed first though! Chris...
We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |
