Urban exploration threads? I know /k/ loved going 'inna woods' with the SKS, but as an /x/phile, I take interest in old abandoned buildings in urban areas. Warehouses, hospitals, mental health clinics, all of 'em. Tell me where you've been /k/omrades, and what you would take to defend yourself.

Trespassing with a firearm so is far above and beyond full retard that the English language lacks the description power to quantify its stupidity.

Not an SKS (fucking too loud for indoor sure), probably a .44 Webley, a handful of loose rounds, something to drink, definitely bringing a light (no way in hell am I going in the day, fucking pussyfoot that shit? nah), bringing a bro with a gun, camera.
>>9250654 Being that this is apparently Silent Hill, i'd bring a giant pyramid to wear as a hat.

>>9251722 If that's not enough for you, head out to the suburb town of Northville, Michigan, where a HUGE psychiatric hospital has been shut down for a decade or two now. Site with pictures:
http://www.nrph.net/ On one level, it's a prime example of the fucking horrible mental healthcare system in the US: the place was shuttered soley to save money and NO effort was made to preserve the building or properly "decommission" it. Landscaping tools - including tractors - were abandoned in the sheds to rust and phones, computers and filing cabinets full of patient records abandoned on the inside. No fire sale/auction to dispense of it and raise a little money, no, they let it all rot.
But on another level... this place is fucking CREEPY. Kids from the nearby town have taken to "exploring" the hell out of this place, and a local news agency took a camera inside once. Underground access tunnels flooded with water, with power wires sparking and shorting out in it... empty hallways with flickering lights... and this is, naturally, a psychiatric hospital. It's like something out of a slasher movie, I fucking swear to god.

Me and my friends used to fuck around inside this abandoned power plant in OKC. It was cool, but dangerous, the stairs had missing sections where you could fall pretty far if you fucked up, and there were places where there were holes in the floor that went multiple stories down. It was a popular hangout for punks and drug addicts. The city would come in and weld steel plates over the doors, but within a few days that shit would be pryed open again. The entire center section of the plant was open from floor to celing, like 5 stories or so. We used to shoot off fireworks inside, it was awesome. One of my friends rappeled down the inside of the smoke stack once. The city demolished it about 10 or 12 years ago.

>>9251918 I imagine two camps. One in the abandoned suburbs, one nearer the city itself, similar to Skadovsk versus 100 Rads. /k/ommandos decide where the wish to be by what they wish to do. Survivalists wanting to test their skills and those wanting to occupy the suburbs stay in the suburbs, while Stalkers and traders occupy the city camp. Stalkers and explorers crawl through the ruins, looking for supplies and anything valuable. Stalkers eat and sleep and congregate at the city camp, while sometimes venturing over to the survivalist camp to trade weapons, ammunition, batteries, and artifacts. Traders take the artifacts and head out into. Civilization, pawning or ebay'ing artifacts and other recovered goods while buying ammo, food, medicine, and fuels. I imagine a small group of stalkers walking up to a truck in the suburb camp, with a tank on the back of it and a man leaning against it, one stalker clutching a 5 gallon gas can. He tosses the man a box of 9mm, and the man points to a nozzle. The stalker fills his can, gives the gas trader a nod, and walks over to a small 4x4 with a rickety cart attached to the back. Gas is expensive in the wasteland... Vehicles are only used by traders venturing back to civilization, and Stalkers carrying large loads. The other use of gasoline is as fuel for the three generators scattered about the wastes. The stalker bar in the city camp has one. Toss a few rounds of .308 or a few dollars to the guy running it, and plug in your chargers. For this reason, batteries scavenged from the wastes as well as new ones from the outside are highly prized. Lights and radios need power. Survivalists pass time using game boys.
This would make an awesome game.

As for the Walsenburg place, you can't really tell from the pictures but there is a huge substructure not accessible from the main building. There are a couple hole in the concrete out front of the building that you can squeeze down into to access it. In this area are some huge machines that look like forced air blowers, and a couple shafts. Both had cool air flowing from them and as cavers say, if it blows it goes. I didn't explore because I didn't have a proper light. One had the entrance half blocked by a partially buried wood door. I've gotta go back and make an expedition out of it.

>Never get near walk in meat lockers/freezers >Never get near elevator shafts, it's not uncommon for the threshold to fall out under your weight >Never go to a place at night, especially something in poor structural condition >And never go into a building that is flooded in the basement. I made that mistake once and the floor fell in below me and I was over my head in industrial waste and stagnant water. Follow those rules and you should be just aces next time you go out.

>>9252357 I was exploring an abandoned mine once. There was a spot in the path ahead that looked like dense red mud, but fairly firm. When I stepped on it, it turned out it was just a filthy metallic crust on top of a shaft that was flooded to the very top. I plunged in but managed to throw my arms out and catch myself, immersed to about my chest.
I felt what seemed to be a rotten, slimy wooden ladder with my feet before pulling myself out.
And my god, the smell.
I don't even want to know what kind of heavy metals were in that shit.

I'm leaving on a nationwide motorcycle trip in a little over a month, I want to meet up with some /k/omrades along the way.
I don't need any trees removed, though.

/k/ related - I have some pics from the abandoned Remington Arms and Winchester Arms factories from a few months back, but 4chon says the files are too big to post. Anyway, I would never bring a firearm with me going exploring. Hobos can usually be bought off with a few cigs (they can usually tell you about other places too) and you're better off defending yourself from scrappers etc with pipes or other debris. Not worth the risk of getting caught with a gun and getting severely ass-mangled over it.

The last time I talked to my friends they said that with the storms that came through about a month ago most of the tower fell straight down. And there were some power outages in Mason and downtown (I still don't get why he lives in downtown...).

I'd say that if /k/ could raise 3 grand (by selling scoped nuggets to candy-asses as 'ancient Russian sniper rifles'), we could own two plants.
Sell scrap metal (especially copper, and we could own the whole place. And fuck becoming a new state, become a new fucking nation.

My brother was doing a survey job at an abandoned factory in Kilmarnock, and it was not unknown for the local junkies to leave their used needles lying around. You don't want that shit in you feet. Likewise hat and gloves will protect you from minor cuts and bruises when climbing over fences/crawling through tunnels, etc.

>>9256350 Oh I've been in it, back about 7 years ago.
But they closed it down for good about 5 years back.
It's patrolled by the local police because of the fact of how popular it is. (The main ghost is a bride who commited suicide by jumping out a window on the 5th floor in the 40s or 50s.)
