| | | Posted by 94810 515045 I loaded my largest backpack with a tripod, a large camera, water bottle, extra layers, iPad, etc., proceeded to the foot of a radar tower that's always fascinated me, and looked up at the tall hurricane fence topped with barbed wire. And realized that if I'm going to attempt ninja stuff (a dubious enterprise with this body) I've got to pack light!
| If you are driving a car, keep the stuff in the trunk and head in 'light'. The extra gear is close by if you need it but not lugging you down as you explore. Sometimes when mine exploring we stage our heavy gear a ways inside the mine, like at a big intersection, while we push forward with minimal gear. If we find a shaft or other feature that requires ropes and rigging gear, then one of us heads back and hauls it forward. Just my .02 worth. Abby Normal

| | | While my lack of exploration has kept me from facing many situations that I can say I would rather avoid, there are some that I can write off right now. -ANYTHING involving deep water(5'+). Old boats, flooded basements, etc. I'm a shit swimmer, already blacked out underwater once, and while its not as bad as you'd think (oddly peaceful right at the end), its definitely not something I'm trying to repeat. - Active subway tunnels I cant guarantee that this isnt something that I would maybe consider in the future, Its not something I'm trying to do any time soon. Just dont have the stones for that one yet. Once I'm more experienced that could change. -Heights/climbing Afraid of heights. Working on this fear, went on my first real roller coaster last summer, ended up hitting 6 that day. Now I love them. But thats safe. If we approach a location and its a "easy" climb up those rusty ass stairs to the 3rd floor to get inside, generally, you can go fuck yourself. Again, maybe later, but right now? hell no. Thats what I've got off the top of my head, I'm sure theres a couple I'm missing. As I said, with experience comes boldness, so who knows where I'll be in a few years.
