Hi my name is.... Absestos help!

Hey professional urban explorers, I'm pretty new to this forum. I just recently found this website out by my friend "pip lol". Me and him are neighbors and we need some help in the equipment. We're both 17 but we're not amateurs though. We've been exploring the neighborhood's abandoned buildings for a long time.

Anyways, Do you folks know what kinda mask is good for absestos? Me and pip went to Lowe's but the helpers there said none of them work. It would be awesome if yall could tell me some cheap gas masks, since we don't gotta use that much money lol, dont wanna use 40 bucks on one.

Also, have yall been caught before(or asked what your doing)? by security officers or police? What did yall say? and did yall get away? Please give me some pointers on these things. I read the book and have experience but i need some other's experience.

If any of yall from Birmingham, holla at me!

Thanks guys, happy exploring

Hey professional urban explorers



Amateur - for the love of the thing. That's most of us. Hardware stores sell masks that work, but I highly recommend the 3M 6000 half-mask respirator with P100 filter cartridges. (mask).

Go do things.

I use respirators for work and exploring and the most important thing is properly fitting your mask and making sure you've got a good seal. You can have the best mask and filters but if you don't do this they're not going to help you. The 6000's a great mask but I have to say for comfort and a glue like seal I love my 7500, you barely even notice you're wearing it. For filters-3M 2097's are good for most situations, anything really nasty you may have to get specific canisters for it.

When I got busted, I used the Jedi mind thingy to get away.

No, seriously, I told the cop (who didn't even get out of his car) that I was inside taking pictures. He verified that I indeed had a camera and was not inside being serviced by one of the area's ladies of the evening (yes, I am serious) and sent my on my way.

Being 42 and clean-cut helps.

Wish I could help man, but I don't wear masks on account of my glasses getting in the way. Blind as a bat without them, get severe headaches if they are pushed out of line.

But I love the word 'yall'
