What do you bring on a paranormal investigation, innawoods exploration, or urban exploration?
I always wear elbow and knee pads (insert sucking dick joke) but this app is shit at representing that.
I showed you mine, now show me yours!
>>17551692

Maybe i should post something faggy like Tulpas or how X is responsible for figuring out state secrets. Oh oh maybe ill claim I saw something stupid and hope everyone believes me... also fuck greentext

It's from a website called innawoods
Well OP you forgot to have a weapon of last resort. If the cryptid you're seeking is invulnurable to blade and bullet, you need a can of black spray paint. Spray it in the eyes and run like the fucking wind. I know I'll get laughed at for this post but seriously, think about it.
NO food, drink, vape, ect, anything aminals will sniff up and want to eat you for, though water could be alright
a knife, mainly as a tool. I've used mine to cut snags from plants off my leg and as a pry
the right footwear, I wear Reebok compact boots with a composite toe anyway and those work for anything
a jacket, leather is best but carharts are great as well
you could have a flashlight but I don't say it;s necessary, learn to make your eyes adapt
matches or a lighter could be a think you might want, but dont need
a tape recorder could capture things
a hatchet could be useful
DUCT TAPE

I forgot to mention, I will need long sticks, like broom handles or whatever. So I can have fire on a stick, or a fusee/flare on a stick.
I'm the guy from >17552282, I just want to ask how many of us have actually explored shit?
>>17552574
>>17552548(me)
I'll be honest, not a whole lot aside from my city, forests, also some abandond buildings in said forest. There is an old abondoned asylum not too far from where I live. But it's very hard to get to. I'd love to check it out but I need comrades. Also things are happening to it, first, allegedly, it was being made into a movie set, now its being made up as a tourist trap thing. But I know of tunnels underneath, and there has to be some areas left untouched.
Anyways, sort of an urban legend but there's word of some crazy old guy with a gun on top of all the standard /x/ themes down there. Slamming doors, faces, sounds etc.
Fuck I wanna go there
>>17552588
Is the asylum you're talking about in Mass?
Here's mine. Keep in mind I'm a poorfag in college who doesn't have a firearms license yet. Even once I do though I would most likely only add a sidearm to this loadout because it's meant for urban ex stuff. I keep this relatively light so I can run if I need to without ditching gear. This also is a day pack it's not meant for extended use, but it's my current get home bag for day to day stuff.
Something like this
What site or app is this template from? Is it a game?

this is really fun, for some reason it's exiting to pack for paranormal investigating and that kind of stuff. I remember when i was younger i went and explored an abandoned factory with my friends
>>17551692
This is my actual loadout.

no I haven't I'm new to /x/ sorryt pls explain
>>17557177
Go read Roadside Picnick, then watch STALKER, then go play the games. Only then will you know the true secret behind the bolted ribbon. Only then you will truly know.
>>17557177
It's a bolt with a ribbon tied to it so you can throw it in front of you to find space-time anomalies. Seriously go pick up Shadow of Chernobyl enjoy the best /x/-/k/ mash up game ever made. Play the mods too.

If you do nothing else, watch the film. It captures the spirit of what /x/ should be better than any other film I've seen. Seeking hidden knowledge, urbex, introspection, and the reality of uncertainty.
How much of the Zone is real and how much is psychosis? Where is the line between the unknown and the unknowable?
It's worth watching just for the visuals, though. The pacing makes it "comfy" (some would say slow).
For the purposes of this thread, the nut and gauze can represent a small object that's not in the inventory. There's a certain amount of approximation needed because of limited options. You carry gum, use a chocolate bar. You wear a crucifix, use a whistle.
>>17552282
On the point of duct tape, I'm reminded to mention that it now comes in patterns and colors. Some camouflage pattern can conceal, some bright pink or glow-in-the-dark can mark. An entire roll of duct tape is pretty chunky, but you can wrap a few yards of it around something else you're going to carry (the handle of a prybar, or a roll of quarters).
Or you could carry electrical tape instead, a roll of which is pocket-sized and which also comes in colors. It doesn't seal out water / air quite as well, and it's narrower (so less coverage), but it's tougher and electrically insulating.
>>17560410
I just downloaded the game but my laptop doesnt want to run it, I also downloaded the movie, both like, shortly after those posts, Im skyping right now but i will watch the film tomorrow or something, I also have the book roadside picnic open in a tab, ill probably work on that too hopefully. Im so into this right now. again ive heard of stalkeer before and heard only good things so yeah im dedicated right now
>>17556834
As others have mentioned, it's from Stalker.
In my scenario though, I was using it as a pendulum for dowsing.
Just my usual setup for rural exploration/backpacking, with the addition of firearms, naturally. I wouldn't go out of my way to hunt stuff, but if it shows up, it can eat hollow-points and FMJs so far as I am concerned.
>>17554677
I like your style. Also, always assume its an extended trip. This is /x/, not the library, heh.

Since he brought aluminum ones, it ought to be adequate. His tactic is apparently to poison the doppleganger, so taking better gear would be counterproductive. If you didn't pick up on it, he's one of the sandwiches. And wearing the tablecloth.
Also, if you didn't notice, you got some repeating digits.
>>17551692
BOGROLL YOU MOTHERFUCKER
I think I have essentials. Don't plan on using the handgun, but have it and extra ammo in case. Got some food, drink, phone/gps, glowsticks, etc.
I'll start by going out to the "Trail of Shame."

Bample. Also, have a joke post. :P

>>17569602
Lol. Then stay outtawoods.
>>17569629
I'll be fine, I'm sure.
>>17569602
I'm sure you will be. Still, take a pistol, at least. What exactly are you intending to hunt? Cryptids? Flesh Gaits? Do tell. :)
>>17551692
SADF Pattern 83 Battle Jacket ,CZ v58, Gerber Mark II, Leatherman 300 supertool, 2 liter canteen, Water filtration tabs, Combat gauzes, Metronidazole, Bog roll, Toothbrush, rainproof poncho. etc
>>17551692
>>17569643
More exploring and documenting. I'd definitely like to find cryptids, but there aren't much documented in my intended exploration areas.
>>17569484
You put the ammo in your backpack and the large camping gear in your vest. I'm not sure if you were trying to make a joke or a reference, or if you just pack bad in real life.
>>17569643
You've assumed he's hunting unarmed. Maybe you should read the OP. Some of us are just out exploring the local spook hollow. A pistol wouldn't be a bad idea, sure enough. Assuming his local gun laws and personal living arrangements make that possible. If not, then he has to take his chances without.
>>17571582
Tfw cali and probably wouldn't pass a gun background check so the only way to get one would be my crazy father's revolver (which he did say he'd give to me back when I was a kid but I don't wanna go talk to the guy).
>>17571674
Find out exactly what you're allowed to carry, and then carry that much. Are tasers regulated? How about mace? How big a knife? What about axes / hatchets / machetes / brush-hooks? Baseball bats? Golf clubs?
What about a blank pistol (like a starter pistol for sporting events) or a flare gun?
If you can't carry anything for self-defense (English rules), get a D-cell Mag-lite. A four battery one is a suspiciously big and heavy flashlight, but no reasonable person is going to argue that it's not first and foremost a flashlight. And carrying a flashlight is simply being prudent. Not even making excuses there, a heavy duty flashlight is something that's useful in daily life, which a lot of this other stuff isn't.
>>17571409
Sounds like a good time. I wish you luck in your explorations. Just be sure you post if you find anything good, heh. Also, pic related for you.
>>17571582
Fair enough. I had read it, but apparently got caught up in the idea that we were all supposed to be hunting things and so on. Regardless, solid advice. Thank you.
>>17572420
On the point of hunting, I'm not sure it's general knowledge around here, so I'm going to point out a few things. It's rare to bag something by blundering around the woods and hoping you cross paths.
For large game, you observe your surroundings to note signs of their activity (where they eat, where they drink, where they sleep, and the paths they take to get from one to the other). Then you pick a nice spot, conceal yourself downwind of it, and wait.
For small game, you conceal yourself somewhere and make some kind of calls to attract them. Or, if you have help, you can try to flush out hiding critters.
Since with cryptids we know next to nothing about them, we're stuck in the observation portion. The most reasonably strategy is to stake out a choke point in the routes to a source of water. If there's no such thing in the area, and you can't create one, then you watch the most well-worn game trail.
My theory is that most cryptids and legendary monsters are whatever thing skinwalkers are. That they're some moderately intelligent creature that can change shape at will. It would use this as both hunting camouflage (go up a tree, pretend to be a branch, catch a squirrel) and defense camouflage (people are coming, pretend to be a tree stump). Or just slither into a convenient hole. They'd probably reproduce by fission. If so, then probably their size and intelligence would be proportionate (split a slime, get two smaller, dumber slimes).
Probably there's no such thing and all of it is just human imagination. But this is the most efficient explanation otherwise. You've got shape changer legends, and if it wasn't between fixed forms then that would cover everything from El Chupacabras to huldras to dragons. And also explain why they're only around when they're trying to eat you. And weapon invulnerabilities (shooting something with no discrete organs isn't very damaging).
>>17573015
Well, that was much more in depth than I had anticipated, honestly. However, when it comes to things without discernible organs, I have found that fire and acid work wonders for making trouble go away. Nice reply.
Yes I do carry a geiger counter around when I explore, like a huge doucher.
Come and get me you skinwalking fucks

Don't know if any of the guys who where informing me of the universe of Stalker a few days ago are still herev(specifically the significance of the bolt), but I finally got a working torrent of it installed, and I love it. This is so dope, I still have to watch the movie though, Thanks guys.
