Just wanted to let you know that bear spray really does work. Although why you would bring it while URBAN exploring is just beyond me.

In my opinion all you need is a light and water. A rope actually comes in handy for me sometimes but I'm not an idiot and never bring it unless I'm sure I need it so I always just wish I had it and then climb down.

If it looks like a wolf, acts like a wolf, and howls like a wolf, it's probably an asshole.

Oh I know it actually works. But still, this guy had it listed as MANDATORY. You must have this with you. I'm sorry but I have never run across a bear either urban or ... Hmm... what would the PC term be? Woodsy exploring? Ah screw it. You get my point.

And even if I did, I'm sorry. I'm running. I know your not supposed to and your supposed to curl up in a ball and all that but no thanks. I've seen the guys that "survive" this way and I'd just rather not. I'm going to run and climb a tree (Yes I know this is not what you are supposed to do) and get as high in that thing as I can. Then if the bear tries to climb it, I'm going to empty every bullet I got, throw the gun at it when I'm out (also known as the Superman defense), and then kickin the crap out of whatever it puts near me in an attempt to get this thing to realize I am more trouble than I'm worth. And if I die like that, then so be it. I went out fighting. Not curled up in a ball sucking my thumb and hoping for the best.

ok. That's all I got for now. Brain must recharge with coffee.....

Apparently not. Santa and his twelve reindeer took it straight in the face and are still coming after my mouse.

Living in a city where I'm never more than 100 meters from the nearest corner store, I pity you guys having to bring your own water around.

"the rations"

because food and water is rationed when you're UE'ing with stealth cams and spotters.

Give a person a match and they'll be warm for a minute, but light them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life. =)

I keep at least two in my bag at all times. Never know when you may need them.

As must your stupidity campaign. Guess what man. You posted in a semi public forum that is full of people that break the law on a regular basis. There is a good chance that at least a few of them are smartasses. It's nothing personal against you. I point out people's stupidity all over the place. And anyone is more than welcome to do the same thing to my posts.

But what your going to find is, if you continue to post things up where you treat urban exploring like a 15 year old kid trying to run a military black op, your going to catch hell for it. The main thing we're going to point out are inconsistencies in the things you say. The most recent one from you that comes to mind is "I'm into high tech infiltration" and then going on later to say "I like sites where I can live off the land". I'm sorry but those two just don't go together. You kinda have to pick one or the other. It's things such as this that have caused people to jump on your case.

But hey, on the plus side, assholes like me tend to have a short attention span. We'll quickly move on to someone else who posts something stupid soon. Who knows. It might even be something I said. If that's the case, hey, I invite you to jump all over it like it was a hot horny naked cheerleader the night of prom. But the best advice I can give you, poke around and read up some and really think before you post something.

Oh, and if that doesn't work, just try spraying me with Bear repellent.

I get it now! He's infiltrating office buildings and the like and scrounging change off the floor and in the corners to use in their vending machines! Helping himself to any free snacks and coffee in the breakroom!

It all makes perfect sense now!

"hate campaign" ??

SERIOUSLY???

And what if my masterfully planned and beautifully executed hate campaign doesn't stop?
Are you going to call out your spotters on blackops cb radios and meet-up together in a climbing gym where you'll coordinate a massive bikepacking trip from the golden horseshoe to my house where you'll conduct prohobo activities in my back yard and stealth cam me in my sleep, then raid my house for rations?

Cuz that sounds pretty terrifying. I'd probably have to pull out all the stops on my masterfully planned and long-toiled on campaign and sic Santa and his reindeers on you. I'd scan your location on a military laptop and call in your coordinates so that they can bombard you with coal from the heavens. You'd come outside just in time to find Santa moon-walking across your front-lawn, after which he'd flummox you with his sack of goodies, and Rudolph would leave a steaming pile on your front porch.
Santa's my buddy, and he's the best damn low-tech infiltrator that's ever lived. You've never even seen prohobo tenting till he drops his sleigh on your roof and sets up basecamp.

Well this certainly has brought up a lot of traffic. And boy kit list/load outs are a sensitive topic. Following the "creed" of Urban Exing the high and severe catagories are now out of the question. This way If you were searched, the contents would not look too damaging. BTW, in Canada, if you identify yourself to LE that action in itself voids the ability of the LEO to do a lawful search of your possessions. Urban Exploration also covers rural areas like farms, abandoned towns and such areas that maybe out of the way and transport might be too far to use as a basecamp so articles like food, water and hand sanitizer maybe a good thing to have if you are making an afternoon or all day event. Mountain climbing, this is not the gear you'd want to bring.

Positive Pressure - If I could, I would have exactly that arrangement if it didn't look so conspicuous. Great for ideas though.

Cover stories are to be based on truths and used so that you spew out verbal diarrhea on the LEO if you do encounter one.

Splummer - A cheff hat is called a touque but the pope wears a zucchetto, mitre or a tiara (crown). Is it safe to say that in cleveland Ohio it does not get as cold down there as it can in Canada? Yes I know you jest as anyone who watches hockey knows what a touque is...

Played - A balaclava is a ski mask, not a shemagh.

TheWolfman269 - The guys I trained and sent over to Afghanistan carried more than that on a day to day basis. If you are, and by the sounds of it and your claim, you should know about situational awareness and what is deemed necessary at that point of time for climate and enviroment. Don't undermine your expertise by mincing words. If you do not know what a daypack is, and if you do, don't. It belittles your credibility. Cover story, see above. It's just like your ROE's of what you can and can't say for conduct under capture. Cameras & tripods are some of the Urban Exr's tools of the trade as well as AV essentials like batteries, light meter, remote shutter release, and filters. You get the idea. I myself are not that camera crazy, I'll just use my camera phone. For the size of a bottle of hand sanitizer, it is best to have it and not need it... 1st aid kit. You belittle it and then acknowledge the hand sanitizer... Bug spray, I guess you are "man up" enough that west nile virus and lime disease does not affect you? GPS/Compass, again if you are going cross country to get to an abandoned dairy farm that should explain itself, the radio obviously if there is a lagre group... Not to be harsh but do you do all your excursions by yourself? Balaclava - Adding sardonic comments will lower your credibility... Rain jacket, well some people may disagree with that, all I'm saying it that anyone can be uncomfortable in the field. If your kit is light and practical, why not? My Arcteryx jacket is great for a light jacket and a rain jacket and a windbreaker. Bear repellant, different environments may require it. Up in Ontario we can encounter bears... Smokes & matches well it must be an army thing up here as you can always befriend or break the ice by offering up a smoke. Eye protection, latex gloves, and facemask... Well these are the hallmark of many on this site. I do not see why you would attack these articles? A facemask is good for particulate like spores and fibers, eyeprotection for ... you know what? These are explained already in this forum and I am getting tired of explaining things of this nature to a fellow serviceman.

Certainly the high and severe catagories if eliminated would then bring the kit load out to a much more reasonable and agreeable to carry. Someone did mention toilet paper and that is definately a good article to carry. I didn't mention it as the rations have that already in them. Canadain IMP's have that in them...

As an aside a pack similar to this can be in your vehicle as a 24hr emergency bag. All you have to do is rotate your food, water and 1st aid supplies. You guys do know what a 24hr emergency pack is for right?

Life is measured not by how many breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away...
