I've been thinking of adding something to make this more interesting. What would be some good STALKEResque add-on tasks for those who roll dubs when posting in this thread looking for a location?

For example, if your post has:
>dubs of 00 - You must also bring over the skull of the pseudodog (any med or large animal skull, hunted or scavenged)
>dubs of 11 - Find the perfected suit (scavenge some weird outfit from abandoned site)
>dubs of 22 - Protect the stalkers camp at the Garbage from the bandits' assault (heavily booby trap and/or barricade an abandoned building)
>dubs of 33 - Steal the box from the army outpost (scavenge any box of junk from an abandoned building)
>dubs of 44 - Find the documents in X16 lab (find and photograph interesting files or papers from a site)
And so on, etc.
So all sub quests must be documented with a time stamp, like the date on a sheet of paper or whatever in the photo.

What would be some good quests?

Looks like a good time, I wonder how often they check them? That truck in the left corner looks new.

>>32841771
I guarantee that's an old pic, it looks a tiny bit more worn down now.
I wanna do it, but I want to wait til it at least gets in the 50s regularly in the spring. Too cold now.

The only "abandoned" structure I've seen around here is a corral. Living in a desert sucks.

Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Abandoned Mojave Airport in SoCal. (that would be my first pic).
But searching online,
there's Cosson Hall in SanFran,
J's Amusement Park in the Guerneville woods,
Chemung Mine in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest,
and the remains of a former dairy farm run by the Camarillo State Mental Hospital.

>>32842106
hey at least you have some national forests. I'm in eastern south dakota where we're 90+% farmland and the closest national forest is like 350 miles away

I thought this might be useful, but looking through for my area they're not just abandoned, they don't exist anymore. still, someone might find some use out of it

ok so the desert people of Nevada are just folks that like to live alone and away from society. sometimes they have a group but mostly not. because of seclusion however they are a bit on the strange side. i would err on the side of caution if you wanted to try to meet some of them like i have. think burning man goers before it was hip.

There's the abandoned town of Melmont in the Mount Rainier area,
The ghost town Molson near the Canadian border (supposedly a good spot to find artifacts),
The abandoned town of Lester, just south of Snoqualmie Pass.
Nike missile site in Redmond,
and the Cowlitz Motel and RV Park.

MASTER DIFFICULTY:
The Northern State Hospital/asylum in Sedro-Woolley.
A few of the buildings here are still in use as Job Corps facilities, but there's still a number of unoccupied structures that stand. You can head out and explore the deteriorating spots if you're stalker enough. (beware of bloodsuckers.)

There are many abandoned places on state game land thats legal to have a nugget with you. And it's not a problem if the structure is truly abandoned, open (there's no closed doors) and not posted. But it depends on your local laws, some places are stricter than others due to crime. Where do you live, California, NJ or somewhere else?

Yes. It's illegal in every state to trespass. If you get caught with a firearm trespassing that is a felony. But part of the fun of doing the challenges are the risks. If you get caught you aren't a s.t.a.l.k.e.r.

State game lands are hunting grounds. In some states certain animals are always in season, no bag limit. So "hunt" those if you're worried about Natural Resources Police. Also, any abandoned structure on state game lands belongs to state game lands, in other words, if you're "hunting" you're not trespassing as long as you didn't break and enter into whatever you decided to take shelter in, as long as it wasn't posted. Just scope out the area first before busting out the vodka and putting on your gas mask if you're worried.

Probably not a good idea to use glasses with a mask. You risk not having a good seal and that could be fatal. That being said, if you have small frames you could try an Israeli one, M95, or a FM12 mask.
The FM12 offers adapters for prescription glass inserts. You then take those adapters to an eye clinic and have them make glass to fit them and insert them in the adapters.

Also the A-P22P-14(V)2 fit over glasses but those are bulky.

IIRC, the concern with PBF filters wasn't asbestos but that the activated carbon was treated with Chromium, on it's own it's not an issue with new production filters as you would have to breathe in a significant amount of AC to get a slightly increased risk of cancer, and that doesn't happen unless the filter breaks in some way.

I'd just use it sparingly, or attempt to open the filter and replace the activated carbon if you really want to use it, but keep in mind, the filters are old enough that they really only fully protect against particulates.

>>32854587

nyet

>>32856562

Yeah, anything canned is good - keeps radiation dust away. Also stuff that has been wrapped in thick sealed plastic.

What about the sausage n bread?

Do I just take a kielbasa? Summer sausage? Is a salami stick acceptable?

I want to get as much accurate as I can.

>>32856993
>Is a salami stick acceptable?
NO what the fuck is wrong with you.
Just get regular sausages for grilling and a loaf of bread.

I'll be honest. I have no idea where the salami idea came from. I should probably stop drinking tonight

>>32857013

In the Stalker games, sausages similar to salami and normal bread do feature. Salami has long shelf life and is full of fat, so not a bad idea for Stalker/hobo living.

So, family owns several thousand acres in south Alabama. Used to go camping when I was younger. Would love to give this challenge a try. Question is, at what point does a structure cease to be a structure? There are remains of building in a few places on our land, but some of them have been reduced to little more than a brick wall or pile of rubble (from what I hear they were old cottages from like 1910). Would camping near them count? Or are they too destroyed? (Might still yield artifacts)

Also I will note that this land is near a reservation and some spooky shit has gone down in the past.

>>32857313
What area code are you? Almost all the spots I go to are 440

Any places in Chicago besides Damen Silos? I've been there a couple times but never camped out. There are abandoned hospitals too but they are in the middle of busy areas.

Depending on how south you are, I'll go stalking too. I live in the southeast corner of Alabama. I'm finding the same problem as you though, the only abandoned structures I'm finding that are still intact are within city limits with housing nearby

>>32858297
Shit, I was likely going to the UP to hunt next fall, I may have to extend my time off, or even opt to stay in an abandoned building instead of the usual cabin

Would any Te/kx/ans ever go with mt to the Goat Man's Bridge in Denton Tx?

Would this count as STALKER challenge worthy?

>>32858493
Thanks, brother. It's a shame that the old grain silos and old barn are too close our house. Still makes for good fall-back point should the need arise (I'll take on a skinwalker but I'll avoid a fucking panther).

As penance, I'll double my artifact hunt to make up for the lack of standing walls at the old cottages.

Could bring buds, if anyone lives near the Poarch Reservation.

>>32858499
I know that feel, bro. There are all sorts of neat abandoned buildings around Mobile that I can't risk.

Does anyone ever use geocaching to leave little stashes of trinkets/artifacts for other Stalkers? Seems like it'd be an appropriate nod.

Do abandoned structures on family property count?

anyone ITT been through zzyzx? from what i understand some of it is disused science facilities and poses actual physical danger. if anything is STALKER worthy, i think it's there.

>>32859099
I think it's more the spirit than the letter of the rules. IMO depends on how close "on family property" means.

Abandoned barn 100 yards from the house? Probably not.

Old ass farmhouse/cabin on family land a few miles out? Sure.

>>32858748
Oh no fuck entering them, I'm saying to explore around them and maybe near the entrance. There's lots of cool stuff to find from the old shantytown ruins and mining equipment especially if you have a metal detector.

Across the river in STL here.

Lots of abandoned industrial shit downtown but not sure if that'd be a good idea due to a combination of homeless druggies and a largely apathetic but huge police presence. Would want to be armed for the former but would get shit on for being armed by the latter unless you're really good about not getting caught.

Alternatively there's a lot of abandoned farm outbuildings down in Jefferson County but that's boring and pedestrian unless you're just looking for a place to get high.

Shawnee may be great for camping but camping =/= stalking. Especially since you can't open carry down there

>>32859552

>>32859821
There's a few state game lands. A few. They allow OC.

Your own, privately-owned or leased land.

Otherwise IL is completely no-OC.

I am not sure about trespassing with a firearm. Are high power air rifles just as no-no when it comes to trespassing? One could still take down small animals with a 1200 fps .177 rifle

>>32859533
Other hamonica songs from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are "Wenn die Soldaten durch die Stadt marschieren" and "Lili Marleen". You might find tabs for them somewhere. "Wenn die Soldaten" was written before the Dritten Reich and "Lili Marleen" is a love song. Both songs were still sung in Germany by both the people and the Bundeswehr, so they were around before they became know as Nazi marching songs.

Police here detain at least one Jihadist cell ready to attack every week (because they want to take Al Andalus back and we are pretty close to Africa)). Our security forces are operator as fuck even if our government don't give them enough funds. But I suppose I could be able to sneak in the Metro when it is closed since we have a few parts where the rails go to the surface. But what I should say if I get caught exploring the Metro? Should I bring some spray cans with me to say that I was just going to paint some graffiti or what?

It was pretty well looted. I got a bunch of cool looking industrial light fixture cages that were in a garbage bin, some even had glass. (pic related).
Also all the smashed stained glass from the chapel was lead lined, so I gathered it up to melt down

It should mark a place for you. Generally any building will do, although the sturdier/more enclosed the better.

so, theres this old elementary school in the town i live in, nobody ever goes in it except stoners and teenagers, its apparently got a fucking bunker in it from the cold war (school was built in 1960 or so)
what would be the chances of the bunker being open and not locked? if it is locked, where would the key be or whatever opens the fucker up?

>>32862967
would have to be no fire and pretty sneeki breeki, kinda close to civilization

>>32863253
More likely to be hidden. Do some research and see if you can find where it is. Also most bunkers lock from the inside. Highly doubt you will have any problems getting into it.

>>32863113
any more stories?

There's an abandoned textile mill in Haw River that has a skybridge leading to another facility but it's literally like 100 yards from the Haw River Police Station so you have to be careful with lights and all.

Ok but what would a stalker leave?

Baby bottle of vodka?
A few mosin rounds?
Ace bandages?
Glowing/radioactive rocks?

This brings up a legitimate question... Any consequences for leaving non family friendly items in a geocache? Will it get shut down if someone keeps leaving vodka?

Putting over 18 or illegal shit in geocaches is highly frowned upon and does indeed get them pulled

>>32859029
holy shit i am going to start doing this. gonna just leave coords after every s.t.a.l.k.e.r. challenge with some nice /k/ related goodies. also is a good way for others to find those good abandoned areas if we make a database out of it.

Could someone explain what this is to me? From what I can tell it looks like a good time

if you guys seriously want to do it don't just put it on a random geocache website so we don't run into >>32865033 problem.

get the GPS coords app and post them to these threads with a small description of where it is exactly.

Hey guys, just found out about these challenges a few minutes ago, and read the sticky. I'm roping in a buddy or two now, and planning on a place for our first challenge. Just wanna confirm that I have the right idea:
>Go to abandoned places and facilities
>Take pictures to prove
>Look for documents or artifacts specifically
>Bonus points if you camp there, and extra bonus points if you do it with limitations on equipment (gonna be tough since I'm in a city right now)
>Meant to carry a gun or weapon of some kinda

Did I miss anything? Are there any particular places that should be explored, or is it more of case of "explore whatever, just do it in the spirit of exploration" kind of thing?

We'll most likely be picking the Tourist scenario to start with, but I'm interested in other ones too.

>>32855500
I got a few OC stories for you, but I only found out about these threads a few minutes ago, so the aren't stalker specific. I'm not American either, so might not have been actual skinwalkers. Lot of tribal stuff around here though, so who knows.

>Out jogging
>A running trail in jogging distance from my house
>This particular stretch of trail is in eyesight of some houses, but a big road nearby and a few factories. Kinda backs onto a huge swath of wetlands
>Be jogging around at night; only stuff I have on me is my phoneand earbuds
>The trail reflects a lot of light from the factories in the distance, who leave their lights on, and any light from the nearby roads or houses
>You can see on the trail itself, is what I'm saying
>Something mangey scuttles across the trail a little way in front of me
>Foxes are known in my area, so this isn't really a massive cause for alarm
>Keep jogging, but slow down, since getting mauled by a feral fox isn't fun
>See something scuttle across again, but this time it pauses halfway through
>Head flicks around to stare at me
>Creepy, but fuck it, foxes are weird
>Realise it's pretty long for a fox; same height, but almost double the length, which I didn't notice before due to the distance
>"Fuck, that's weird. Probably a mutant or some shit"
>It slowly walks off the trail, while looking at me- very strange for foxes
>A few seconds later I hear that scream foxes make; like a human yowling. Weird, and it coincides with that long thing getting to where I know a few foxes live
>This is weird. I've slowed to a walk, removed my earbuds, and quickly scan around me, and try to get my breathing under control. I also walk on the grass next to the trail to make less sound.
>At this point I'm slightly rattled, since it's dark, and figure the jog is over
I start making my way back

Not sure how new you are but,
This challenge is based off the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
which is based off the movie "Stalker" by Andrei Tarkovsky which was based off the book "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

So the challenge is done in the spirit of the video game.

Also
>GET OUT OF HERE STALKER

>>32865682
Cont because I need to get a few of these stories off my chest.

This trail is a gravel/packed dirt trail, with some sort of orangey gravel ove rit. On one side is a dip in the land; it goes down quite steeply, and then a few meters past that, it rises again, and there are the fences of several houses on the other side. Dense trees and bush between though. On the other side, there is a hill, with a few small trees, and a few very dense patches, before a dip, some sugar cane, a creek and then a bunch of flat barren land, with patches of thick shrubbery, before the factories off in the distance.
>Anyway, I'm rattled and heading home
>Staying near the hill part, I want to stay away from the dip in the land
>See something run back across the trail behind me; if it was as small as a fox, I wouldn't have seen it
>Move up onto the hill/inclined part
>Have a decent view of everything, which calms me down; nothiing coming towards me, but I'm closer to the dense sugar cane
>Approach one of the patches of foliage
>See a branch shake
>Probably a fucking bat
>Wait...that branch was too low to the ground to shake. And it moved too much. Something large is there
>Hear a weird panting
>I back down onto the trail, and grab a fistfull of dust in my left hand, and activate my phone's torch with my right
>Scan around, but can't see much
>Branch is still waving, shits clearly been disturbed
>Stop, make it seem like I'm confused. Start towards the tree...
>...I twist and change direction, sprint for my life towards the road
>Takes me a few minutes, but I somehow manage to get there
>I think I ran almost 3 k's
>As I was running I hear a huge yowl, and occasionally see the sugar cane parallel to me disturbed

I made it home, and was thoroughly spooked, but whatever it was seemed to back off when I made it past some houses. Went looking around the next day; found a dead fox.

Pretty lame story I know, but I have more if there's interest.

>>32865690
Shit, almost forgot that part. I'll definitely dress like one.

>>32865716
One of those anons here; I'm pretty fkn new, actually, so thanks for the heads up. I'll read those books, and try to get an idea. When I go stalking and take pics, do I post them in these threads? Or keep them to myself? Or post what happened to gauge interest first?

>I'm glad I saved my pasta from last thread
It is what you make it. To do it best find something abandoned or unnaground. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is not all that innawoods but if nothing else works than camping near a rusted out car or barn in the woods, do it.

Here is what you do:
>pick a challenge
>get a harmonica, (just learn as you go)
>carry as little as possible
>bring boolits for bloodsuckers + skinwalkers
>bring pistol and/or rifle
>eat only canned food, sausages, bread and such (remove the labels) or hunt small game
>make a hobo stove from a can
>start memorizing some old Russian songs and general phrases in Russian
>use a tarp as rain protection in camp (shelter halves or bivy works too)
>dress in slavshit, a must
>go to your nearest city
>rustbelt is best for this
>find the now defunct industrial district
>find a building that isn't in murdertown
>take up residence
>start moving from building to building and make sure the entire area is abandoned
>like if someone sees you they don't report you type of abandoned
>really get away from the world, challenge yourself to keep you phone on airplane and use it only as a camera (do challenge in one charge and document your adventure in the zone)
>squat around in the woods with vodka
>bonus points for gasmask or balaclava
>play the fuck out of that harmonica or guitar
>have fun, you are being a total retard for the hell of it and because some anonymous fucker on the internet is telling you it is a good idea, too. Don't take it too seriously, but if you want to go all out try to stay in an accent the whole time

Me personally I take my mate. He takes some pictures, we play guitar and shoot trees, we drink a bit, debate on ak's, chernobyl wildlife, vodka's effects on radiation, stare at the sky by fire (while squatting).
Just make of it what you want. But photograph it to post here. Always.

Have fun, fellow S.T.A.L.K.E.R, get out there and be cheeki breeki.

>ask if you have more questions

>>32865911
Sounds liek a goddamned good time. I'm in.

I'm not 'Murican though, and I can't get my hands on guns. Are combat knives and bows an acceptable substitute?

Thanks for the pasta by the way, cleared up a lot.

>>32865969
Go Bandit mode with a knife or get some airshit rifle if that's not restricted in your country.
>might want a crossbow for actual self-defense if you're innawoods. Wildlife can be nasty if you're not experienced in the outdoors.

>>32865822
Fuck, I just read my story, it was lame. Here's a less shit one. I'm the same anon if anybody cares. Don't worry, no boring ass foxes in this one.
>Be camping with Grandpa, Cousin, Uncle and Dad
>Grandpa, Cousin and Uncle are all same side of the family and from the country
>Dad is also from the country, but a different area
>I and my cousin were both young, mid teens? I was the only retarded city kid who hadn't grown up in the country
>Anyway, camping out in the bush by a river
>Have tents set up around a fire, and cars parked behind those by a few meters to block and wind
>I was a huge nerd with no head for survival back then; I think I was sharpening sticks with a pocketknife since I thought it was cool
>Cousin basically called me a nerd; same age as me, but a lot rougher back then
>Pretty sure he thought I was weird; I liked anime, did martial arts and didn't shoot shit
>Day goes well, try to catch fish, fail, and scout the campsite; a lot of dense bushland
>Later on, we set up the fire, and use a bunch of the drywood I'd gathered
>I actually think I earned some respect for managing to find decently dry wood; there was rain the day before
>We;re telling ghost stories around the campfire, Grandpa goes out to piss
>Hear a yowling in the distance
>Nice fucking try Grandpa
>Wasn't the same direction he went off in, so it was a good attempt
>He comes back from the direction he set off in
>"What was that?"
>Oh fuck
>We hear it slightly closer
>Maybe it's a wild animal?
>A scent wafts close on the wind
>Like when you hold a coin in your palm on a hot day for a few minutes, and smell it
>A coppery smell; when I first read a skinwalker story I shit myself, since they always seem to describe the exact scent I smelled that night
>The yowling is getting closer
>Grandpa and Uncle point rifles in the direction
>Cousin points air rifle
>Dad and I look at each other, and he draws a big ass hunting knife
>I have a cheap pocket knife and a sharpened stick
