Good shoes, a camera with shorter lenses, and for most places a mask with at least P100 filters for asbestos
Don't bring ANYTHING even questionably illegal. This includes knives, spray paint, etc.
If you are caught with anything illegal, you will get fucked by cops. A fine or a felony is only a knife away.
Also, don't take shit.
1. Police will fuck you
2. It's fucking gay
Don't tag shit either unless you're actually a good artist, the amount of faggots who think they're cool and write random shit ruin a lot of spots.
You can post pics of spots or whatever, no one minds, but don't fucking share spots unless you really trust the person. Also don't beg people for spots. No one cares about you, find some shit on your own.
Don't be a faggot to the cops. Almost every time, they're just gonna walk you out if you're not retarded. If you are retarded, or if the cop is pissy, or the spot is too hot and they have to charge people to get the kids to fuck off, you'll get a fine, unless you are a fucking idiot and had paint or something on you.

Basically, don't be fucking stupid.

OP if you're going to urbex and you want to minimize any possible problems with law enforcement do this

>dress in bright casual colors, normal street clothes
>make sure to have a camera and multiple photography accessories on you, that are clearly visible etc
>dress light, don't bring a backpack or anything huge like that (a camera pack is fine though)

You also probably shouldn't bring any weapons, as >>17750 said. By doing all these things you'll have a much higher chance of just being told to 'gtfo' should someone report you, as you can play it off pretending you're doing an art project or something or pretend you're a tourist.

Do not go full taticool at all, so no weapons dark clothing combat boots etc just dress in bright colors and act like a retarded art student and you'll likely just be told to go home should you get caught

Listen to these doods OP. I will recommend you bring pepperspray tho. The amout of meth-heads is pretty high in secluded spots.
As for me personally i take a couple of homemade lockpicks. Easy to make and at the first sign of the lawman they are the very first things i ditch. DONT GET CAUGHT WITH THEM.

Watch out for rotting floors and nomadic criminals/methheads

Street cleaner bristles are the perfect steel for lock picks. You inevitably find them just lying in the road.

Trespass on my land and I'll shoot you on sight!

>can't afford a $5 lockpic set at gunshow

>wanting multiple felony charges
anon you sure are silly

Alternative idea is to dress up in work clothes. Wear a high-vis vest and a hardhat. Carry a clipboard too. Noone will bat an eye in you direction if youre wearing this. That is of course if youre going to a public area.

>felony for shooting a trespasser
Not everyone lives in a state that doesn´t respect natural law.

Worst shit that could happen is whatever you're stepping on giving out, which would cause you to fall. That or you fall down an obscured hole in the dark.

Happened to me twice, was fine the first time (fell through old wooden stares), broke my rib second time (fell into a well). Could've died/ended up a cripple. This is the only real danger.

If you're exploring sewers etc add sudden flooding to it, only go in when you're sure there won't be rain or anything for the next few days.

I explored a ton of abandoned/industrial stuff, if you look like a decent person and don't make a fuss the guard likely won't bother to call the cops.

Never saw any drug addicts.

Again, the biggest dangers are stepping on something that breaks or not noticing a hole.

I present: People who believe TV, pretending they can pick locks. They can't. Picking locks takes hours, and isn't just a matter of wiggling a bent wire around. Plus you don't just need a pick, you also need torsion - Generally a knife or a screwdriver. And the police will do you for going equipped for burglary and/or a weapons charge either way. You don't need lockpicking gear because you're not going to be picking locks, because you have neither the time or the ability, nor the desire to feel a nighstick in your butt.

This, bolt cutters do the same job and doesn't take nearly as long

Picking locks isn't easy but, after an hour's practice, some popular locks are surprisingly simple.

>>17764
I actually want to get into it, though I wouldn't be walking around and picking random locks

>>17745

>Flashlight (I always take a head lamp and handheld.)
>Backup flashlight (in case your main one breaks, lost, or your friend is dumbass and forgets his/hers)
>Proper face mask for mold.
>First aid kit (should always carry and be trained in how to use one, just in case)
>Camera.
>Boots (Shoes work, the ankle support is nice. Specially if your foot goes through the floor, you won't roll your ankle)

I dont take a whole array of picks just 2. Both have a L shape bend to it so one is a tension while the other has the picking tip. The tips are a City rake and the other a bogota rake. I dont bother single pin picking because too much time. Most locks are masterlocks or similar crappy locks with no security pins so raking them open is easy. Look up BosnianBill on youtube for how to pick & make lockpicks.
No i dont use boltcutters because they are big and difficult to conceal and a cut open lock or chain on a door gate or fence looks suspicious to anyone passing by.
