| | | Oooof that all sounds... awful. Like this entire thread. I've never been out with more than three of us. Come summer and more settled work schedules, there may occasionally be four, but I'm talking about specific people that I know well, and with whom I've been out with multiple times before in one configuration or another. Any more than that and I feel like you'd be asking for trouble of one stripe or another, trying to keep track of everyone and know what sounds you're listening to out of sight, et cetera. Secondly, group dynamics just get more and more complicated the more people you shove into them and I lose patience very, very quickly with how exponentially much longer it takes to get people going, or make decisions, or ensure that everybody is getting a say. Thirdly, in my area we'd be going by car and I'd hate having to coordinate two vehicles. We're supposed to be having a little adventure, not a god damn fireman's parade.

| | | In my experience, the more the merrier. Haven't really had any problems, but then again, i don't explore with dumbasses. Only problem i come across is the photography aspect of things; people always in your shots, feeling rushed because people are waiting on you, that sort of thing. Biggest disaster i was part of was already mentioned. A certain repelling incident in a certain drain. It kind've brought all us together as a team, though. That was the only up side to the situation.

| | | I went to an abandoned house with two friends, one of whom I'd explored with before and one of whom I hadn't. In retrospect, I probably should have expected what happened when he greeted me with "Let's commit a B&E!!" loud enough to make people look round at us. We got to the place after dark and the idiot immediately began trying to pry the boards off one of the windows. We shush him and start walking towards the opening I'd found while scouting. My first friend is walking in front, I'm behind her, and the idiot is behind me. My friend is halfway through the opening when the idiot finds a near-empty spray paint can and starts pretending to paint shit. I hiss at him to put it down (there's houses on both sides of this abandoned one) so he DROP KICKS IT. The can hit the boards with a huge bang, hit the porch and then rolled with this agonizingly drawn-out grinding sound. After what seemed like 10 minutes of this can rolling, the lights come on in the house next door and a dog begins barking down the street. Rather than stay and be arrested, we chose to take off. The worst thing is, i never got another chance to explore that location because some asshole burnt it down a few months later.

| | | Posted by Deconstrukt Exploring in a group can also be a great thing, when organized properly. I've found myself to be with 12 other people in an abandoned grain silo that is patrolled by the Port Authority, without having any problems.
A couple weeks ago, we organized a meeting in an abandoned incinerator. Once again we were a large group (around 22 people), and despite the fact that the incinerator is on an active site, none of us got caught or had any problem.
Last summer, we had this huge party in an abandoned malt plant, this time with around 30 people suited up for the occasion (Tuxedos and dresses, please!)
I just wanted to show that exploring in large groups doesn't always lead to disasters But my ideal number of people to explore with would be 3, sometimes 4 (total, I mean)
