and the respirator didn't help convince them otherwise.


Happened to me once. When they searched the car and didn't find paint, they let us go.

Yeah, we were sitting down by a fence and I looked at the respirator, I told the cop "I'm now realizing how bad it looks" he said "What?" then I said "I have a respirator...That looks awfully suspicious eh?" he just started laughing.

I wish our cops weren't so "by the books"
They're the kind that will make an arrest just because they've had a boring night.

Yeah the cops over here are for the most part pretty cool, but a few cities down those cops are the biggest assholes ever.

worst mistake i made was going on an exploration where i knew for a fact that there were nails and pieces of glass sticking out of the floor everywhere ( i was young as hell, wasn't thinking) and wore tennis shoes. Stepped on a nail with the ball of my foot and the nail went all the way through my foot and into the bone of the ankle, wound didn't close for a month because of all the bacteria forced in and even after it did it was still agonizing to walk on for a year afterwards, on the plus side the time i spent in the German hospital was great, they really know how to take care of you there ^^

That was freaking amazing, lost my respirator in all that craziness!


We found your respo near the bum tent. Eschaton got a new pack out of that. And we all had a night we'll never forget. Or give details about...

Srsly, don't ask.

Ticks can crawl up your jeans, unless you tuck them into your socks. They particularly like jeans, actually, because the texture makes it easier for them to grip to.


tucking into sock looks sloppy as shit, at least do half assed blousing attempt and go into the boot; better yet, wear pants intended to be bloused and do it proper with inner layer inside boot, outer layer rolled under boot bands.

Well, this was quite a few years back... 1972 I believe. It was a nice night, about mid-June. I was down in DC doing some exploring with seven other guys, and we'd been hitting this place in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood, right on the Potomac. It was just some office building complex, and it wasn't really abandoned but it was pretty cool. Anyways, we kept taping locks on the doors so we could get back into some rooms, and some of the idiots kept shining their flashlights in the windows whenever we went and I always told them not to. Some security guard caught on to the lock taping that night and the 5 guys in there got busted, and I was amazingly lucky since I had not gone out on that particular night due to a stomach bug. Somehow they also found our two scouts... It ended with all seven of them being indicted and convicted on charges of burglary and a few BS charges too. They never said a word about me, though, and so I was lucky enough to get away without incident. Stupidest thing was that they tied it to the president, though...

Walked right past a rattle snake then after 5 min of being in the same room one of my team members pointed it out. We had all gotten close enough for it to have bitten us and it still didn't rattle once. Since we were 3 miles from a road in a no fly zone for heli's some one could have died.

Second would be stepping directly on a beehive about the size of a football.

you should have found a big rock and killed the rattlesnake, and then cooked it up.

If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!
If you want to make exploring friends, send people private messages! Meet up in real life! Get off the internet!
