Storm Sewer Exploration

Does anyone know much about exploring storm sewers? Is there anything I should watch out for or bring with me when doing so?

There's fuck all to do in my town and this sounds like a cool thing to do, so if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it

Same. Did it once in high school. It was in August and if a thunderstorm had rolled through we would have been dead. Although considering how my life since has gone, that may have been for the best.

I fucking thought so; it's not like as if though you would be exploring the catacombs of Paris- those fuckers have parties down there!

Before you do any of this read Predator's Approach to Draining. There are things you don't know that you don't know and it's very easy to fuck up in a hundred different ways.

I do read quite a bit and used to play brass but don't really care to anymore. It's being poor and ugly that eats at me constantly

I have never explored drain tunnels, but common sense tells me that it would be appropriate to bring:
A write-in-the-rain pad and pencil to draw a map on the go, a good knife, cordage and carabiners, multiple flashlights and batteries for them, food and water to last a while, garbage bags, a couple changes of socks, a headlamp, safety glasses, bolt cutters, an e-tool, a small bottle jack, crowbar/stanley fubar
Good luck Anon

some chalk so you can leave breadcrumbs.

you also have to have a way to identify gas risk. people die treading through mud because it can release deadly gases

Radon and methane would probably be the worst, I am not sure. Fill me in on gases and ways to detect them. Thanks in advance

The most dangerous gasses are H2S, which is poisonous and smells like rotten eggs. Methane, which is odourless and can explode. Still air with low oxygen concentration (6% or less), which can kill you in just a few breaths.
