So you think it's overkill huh?

That's funny, you have no idea of the use I put it all together for.

Nice to know that you've got opinions on what kinda gear I use for my own personal activities. That's fantastic.

Tear gassing cops is illegal, but using bear repellent on them isnt????
Or carrying tear gas is illegal, for UE use?
I could see a lot of cops not being happy that you're carrying around a canister of bear repellent either. They might view it in the same light, no matter what the contents are.
In the same way that a knife can be construed as a "dirk or dagger", depending on what your use of it is, and how they write the report.

Btw,
Several brands of pepper spray are a mix of OC and tear gas. It might be illegal where YOU live, but you shouldn't make assumptions for everyone else. You seem pretty fond of that. It's fucking annoying, just in case noone's ever told you before.

Getting trolled is when someone does it on purpose.

What I just did was rip apart a post filled with stupidity; more akin to biting the hook, then yanking the fisherman out of the boat so that other pirahnas can feed at-will.

When it comes to dealing with cops, I prefer to carry around a couple claymore anti-personnel mines. They're a bit heavy, and there was that one time I accidentally killed three other urban explorers, but in the long term it will have been worth it.

I haven't gone exploring in a long time. I just finished up school and my internship though, so I have weekends free again and want to head back out. Last time I went all I brought was my SLR and my Quantaray Sunpak tripod which is pretty bulky compared to the tabletop tripods the other explorers used to bring. The past couple of weeks though I've been making some plans to go out with new explorers and they are talking about bringing not only their SLR and tripod, but lighting equipment and the such. One actually had a full trunk of camera equipment that he carried around!

So in short: I'm just wondering for all those who bring equipment for their cameras, how heavy do you think everything is and is it really worth bringing?

Holy God in Heaven! I didn't run around in Iraq with this much stuff! I'm going to go through this the only way I know how. One at a time. Forgive me if I end up making you feel stupid.Your more than welcome to do the same thing to anything I say.

I would start off with this as the rudimentary basic/mandatory load out:
-There is nothing rudimentary, basic, and or mandatory about this.

Daypack - do not use military camouflage, use civilian or LE gear
-As opposed to my night pack?

Cover story - this is the most important part of your kit, will go over it later
-I knew I forgot something. Heaven forbid I have to make one up on the spot. "Can you hang on just a moment, Officer? I left my cover story in my truck."

Notebook & pen
-To write down my cover story so I don't forget it.

Camera(s)
-This is something you deem mandatory?

Tripod(s)
-Really? Multiple tripods?

Audio/video essentials
-Uhhh... What? I'm supposed to pack a tv and stereo in my daypack?

Water
-ok. Can't argue this one.

Rations/energy bars
-Or this one.

Multi tool
-No. You got a good one here too.

Knife, folding
-Sense, common

Light(s)
-the better to see you with, my dear.

Hand sanitizer
-Or you could just... you know... NOT stick your hands in your mouth after crawling through the sewer.

1st aid kit
-If you do something bad enough that requires first aid, you probably won't be able to fix it with a first aid kit. If you just scraped your knee, man up and put a Spiderman band-aid on it when you get home. Or just rub some hand sanitizer on it till then.

Bug spray - seasonal
-I refer you to my earlier "man up" statement.

GPS/compass
-So that when I'm standing in an abandoned building, I'll know which wall is the North wall.

Radio
-... who's on the other end of it? Do I just talk to myself?

Gloves
-This makes more sense than hand sanitizer. But I am surprised you didn't put "gloves, latex under gloves, leather".

Toque - seasonal
-.... this has been touched on enough.

Balaclava - seasonal
-Also, your ninja sword, throwing stars, and blowgun.

Rain Jacket
-I would just suggest if you have a problem with rain, don't go exploring in it.

Dog/bear repellant
-Really? Bear repellant? BEAR repellant!? Ooh! How bout a pointy stick!? That way I can try to stab myself in the brain through my eye when all I managed to do was piss off a 500 pound animal with claws and teeth with my BEAR REPELLANT!

Smokes & matches
-Again, this falls under mandatory? What about for people that don't smoke? Might as well have added "crack pipe". I don't smoke crack but hey, it might be handy to have. You never know.

For "Low level entry":
-you seem to have confused this list with your "what to bring along to kidnap someone" list.

Facemask
-So they can't pick you out of a line-up.

Eye protection
-For when the cops mace you.

Latex gloves
-So you don't leave fingerprints.

Glow sticks
-For throwing a rave.

Chalk
-For the outline of your body after you try to use your BEAR repellent!

Para cord
-I'm assuming you mean 550 cord, though I still can't figure out why you would need it. In case the cops forgot thier handcuffs?

Duct tape
-OH! This is for the forgotten handcuffs! Then why do I need the para cord? To hang myself with instead of allowing myself to be captured? You should have just put "cyanide pill hidden in fake tooth".

For "High level of entry":
-Oh! ok. now I see what your doing. Your talking about high and low level stuff as actual elevation words. Gotcha. ok. Well let's see what we have for here...

Fence climbing tools
-your hands and feet? Did I leave those in the car with my cover story?

Knife, fixed
-...Why is this needed to climb a fence? Should have put "hook, grappling".

Binoculars
-To look at where your going to climb to?

Elbow/knee pads
-AHH! The best thing you've come up with yet! For when you try to bribe the cops with a blowjob!

For "Severe breeching":
-Define for me "severe breaching". Cuz to me it seems like "severe breaching" would just lead to "severe bruising" and 'severe bleeding".

Rope
-To quote the Boondock Saints, "It's ridiculous! Probably based on some stupid shit ya saw in a movie! And here I am AGAIN all tyin' myself up with rope! What is the deal with you and rope? Honestly!"

Bump helmet
-Also effective, ducking.

Harness
-A sex swing? I guess in case the bribe kneepad thing didn't work.

Harness essentials
-Assless leather chaps and a ball gag.

Barbed wire gloves
...ok. I know what your talking about from stringing C-wire with the Army. But why in the hell would a civilian need these? Barbed wire is not that bad that you need razor wire gloves. And folks, if you come across razor wire, your probably breaking into an active prison. I suggest leaving it alone. But if you decide to do it anyway, you can pick up some nifty barbed wire gloves at your local Wal-Mart. You'll find them right next to the balaclavas and the cans of BEAR REPELLENT!

...And that's it for me. I'm done...




Wow. That's one of the funniest things I've read in a while.

I don't know about you, but I rather enjoy crawling through sewers and then eating lunch directly after without washing my hands. Adds a little something to the flavor. Mmmm.

I was laughing my ass off, best thing I read here for a week. And people around me were starring at me for laughing 5 mins straight.
How about snake repellant as we don't have bears in West Texas.

I usually bring
-water
-snacks
-crowbar
-box cutter
-several flashlights
-respirator
-beers
-cigarettes for me, black & milds for any homeless I come across
-switchblade(I lost it recently so I need a new one)
-girlfriend brings her camera.

On our latest trip I had a few 24oz cans of beer in my pack just for me but I gave one to an already insanely drunk homeless guy who kept fallowing us around wanting to escort us to all the buildings in exchange that he let us go into one alone, and we'd meet up with him later. He soon forgot about us and we were on our way into the rest of the projects.

Instead of the Swiss Army knife approach, I would like to think as being a impact driver with interchangeable bits seems to be a better way to approach all this. So, to add my hat into a ring that doesn't need anymore, I give you what I could be found to carry on my person.

Now you may notice that I lack essentials like water, food, and gloves. Well, I omitted these because either I would not need them do to the proximity of the location to my car in which they could be retrieved, or not every location would require them. The smaller set of tools can be carried in your pants without discomfort and are useful for any occasion really.

Just curious with some of you who prefer the " drink, food, and maybe a light" doctrine, are you usually only out there for an hour or two? Not staying overnight like some others? Also, on the other side of the spectrum we have the tacticool S.W.A.T. infiltrators, where the inverse is asked. Do you stay out long enough to warrant such gear, or are your explorations measured in hours not days?

Must be breakfast because some harsh-browns have been served up in here.

This thread has been amazingly fun to read through. Thanks for the laughs and keeping me up way later than I intended.

Oh, and my two-cents:
As far as what to bring... I've honestly never needed more than a flashlight, respirator, my cell phone, some spare batteries, and a small bag.
A camera is nice to have too.

Every time this one comes up I read the first posting on page 9 and I almost drown in my coffee from drinking and loling at the same time.
