Can we get an urban exploration thread going?
I'm gonna be going to this abandoned naval jet engine testing facility in a few weeks. Apparently closed because jet fuel contaminates the ground or something. Anyone been there?
Also share stories, photos, etc.

Pic relevant. My boyfriend is taking me on a camping holiday and I'm scared. It's on the Isle of Wight. I've never had to pit my wits against nature or any of that stuff before. I've watched some Bear Grylls stuff to get me psyched but it makes me even more nervous.
How can I pursuade him that my life is in danger and I don't want to go camping. I want to go to Ibiza instead. I don't know why I'm with him he's not considering my feels. All my girlfriends say I should dump him and he is such a loser.
Nice bait. Try on \b\

I was on the snow riding 17 days of January... only at work for 9. Rest of the days were travel.
In the winter I'm out just about every weekend. Summer is when I take care of projects around the house, but still get out on the moto an evening or two a week and take a weekend or two a month to go ride.
From the looks of the webm, you know what you're doing. Maybe a little longer exposure/bigger aperture/higher ISO to up the exposure a bit.
A little bit of external light from a headlight/flashlight...

Hey /out/, I've got a puzzle-challenge for you.
Let's suppose you needed to travel by sea in an innawoods scenario. What I mean by that is your budget is severely limited and you want to avoid governments, coast guards, big trade routes and so on.
How would you go about travelling across a small sea, for example Europe - Africa via the Mediterranean, or UK - Norway via the North sea?
The challenge is you have to ROW. This is because motor boats have too much bureaucracy associated with them, i.e permits, licenses, mooring and such. What you want...

Have a large sized row boat (sorta like a vikeing ship - the sails). Pack a large fishing net to supply long term food but before leaveing buy a crate of MRE's. For cooking have a small propane powered stove. For water bring 200+ water bottles and a home made convection/evaporation device to purify sea watter. Idk about rute I'm american don't know my way around. I don't really know all that much about sea travel so I'll probably get lost.

Nice, where did you get that boat from? Price?
I would probably buy some sea wrothy ship and modify it to hold more paddles and have storage bins. I never thought about it becuse I'm in a landlocked state so geting out on any body of water is hard.
is a 30L backpack enough for a 2 days camp?
tent and sleeping bag will be outside

I normally carry a towel with me when hiking/camping so I can dry myself off if I end up getting in some water. I usually just roll the towel up and use that as a pillow. Pretty sure I don't even own a regular hoodie either.
Did I spend too much time in the sun guys?
This image is taken just five days prior. Did I overcook myself?
how are you still alive bro get to a hospital quick, you will OD on vitamin d
It's funny, because not once did I get burnt. I'm usually pretty pale, but I hardly ever burn. I'm hoping since I never burnt, I should be fine.
Post the coolest water parks and slides!
The slide in the pic is located at Siam Park Tenerife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvR9fTZl6fU
Lower Falls along the Swift River in the White Mountains, NH

Hey /out/ I figured you guys are probably the best people to ask for this. I want a mess kit for out in the woods, I was looking at getting a repro of a world war 2 one but all the ones I find are all aluminum and I like steel more considering it'll probably be in a pack with other heavy stuff. Are there any modern ones that are good? Anything else I should consider?
