What Kit/Gear do you take on a typical explore?

I was just wondering what sort of kit people take on a normal explore.


Heres my typical kit

A nice cheap camera bag from 7dayshop (but the straps started to fray so are held together with a lot of gaffer tape)


A tripod from the 1980s made under the Helios name

or if I can't be bothered to lug it around I use a cheap but wonderful tripod from 7dayshop

This picture shows the smallest amount of camera gear I generally bring along to an explore (It shows a Zenit 12XP w/ industar 50-2 lens, a 35mm f/2.8 lens, Flashgun, a back-up light meter and a cable release)

This is my newest camera it has definitely earned a spot in my urbex kit

I always have several rolls of film

I generally take one of two torches either a maglite 2D LED or the 4D bulb version

And last of all my very basic first aid kit Painkillers and electrical tape

My typical bag contains:
Canon 600D
Kit 18-55 lens
50mm f1.8
Sigma 10-20
various filters, spare camera battery, lens cleaning bits
Led Lenser P7 torch
Head torch
Led Lenser P3 backup torch
spare batteries
fingerless leather gloves
couple of cereal bars
hand cleaning gel and wipes
small monocular
Hama Traveler Pro tripod
FFP3 filter mask if i think im going to need it
