>>164290Depends on the area, its local laws and your "style", but personally I wouldn't bring lockpicks. If cops catch you and they're being dicks, you could be in way deeper shit if you have lockpicks with you (easier to "prove" that you could have the intention of breaking and entering).
I'm from Montreal and I recently got into urbex, as I'm very much into urban survival and survivalism in general, and I'm also very interested in industrial archaeology. It can also be a great way to do some parkour.
My bag contains:
-Water bottle
-Good knife
-Trail bars
-Cell
-Wallet (a bit of cash in case of annoying hobos)
-MagLite ML100 flashlight
-Glowsticks
-Good gloves
-N99 mask
-A bit of 550 paracord
-Baby wipes
-Small first aid kit and krazy glue (in case of deep cuts)
-Some meds
Pic related, I went there yesterday, but unfortunately, I didn't find a way in the incinerator, everything was bolted as fuck. Still explored around it and on the railroad.
