Posting here because halfchan is failing at one of the simplest of tasks for an imageboard, posting (go figure). Here's the thread on half:
https://boards.4chan.org/out/thread/450933/Now, I'm connotating the term "urban exploration" to mean NOT just abandoned areas, but an entire city.
Take Boston, for example.
I will likely in the future have the opportunity to return there, the first time I visited it was for about 3 days. The freedom of the city (never used a subway before, good walkability, etc.) blew me away and gave me an idea for if I were ever to return: to go around the city with little to nothing on me.
Of course, I'd have residence there, but while exploring the city (probably on average 6+ hours at a time) I was thinking of the following to carry:
Flip phone
Light watch and hoodie
(Possibly) a camera
The carry is light to minimize loss in the case I were to get mugged/robbed. No weapons are in the carry because evasion is my best bet if I were to build up my endurance (mentioned on the half thread)
I'm sure there's more to it than just that. Has anyone else done something similar? Feel free to nitpick at parts of the idea that may not work— I'm open to criticism.
