Just something long enough to be useful, yet short enough so as to not effectively strangle humans with it. I also like the idea from another explorer of electrical tape (small and practical). I just remembered seeing in an outdoor/camping store (REI store in Reading, MA. www.rei.com) a few days ago that they sell a tiny roll of grey duct tape that hikers can carry in a backpack. I'll have to pick one up. Another thing I bring is a "Space Pen" which is a pressurized ink pen that writes upside down, underwater (who would do that?), in zero gravity (good luck with trying it), and on grease. It is black and very small, measuring about 3.6 inches long and is waterproof if one should fall off a roof and land in a lake, puddle, river, etc. I also bring a pad of paper that is waterproof and won't tear when it rains or gets wet. The two items go together nicely when urban exploring for taking various notes on anything that pops in your mind. These two items are also sold at REI, or outdoors/camping stores. The Space Pen is also sold at Staples office supply stores. For luck I wear a pair of lucky socks that I know will always get me home no matter what happens. I just hope the sock monster that lives in my washing machine doesn't eat one of them (I think the "lucky magic" only works if the two socks are together. Sort of like a marriage.)
I'm going hunting for mysteries. Where's my flashlight? Don't Like Clowns who Vandalize, B&E, and Steal from Sites. |
