Buttons The Clown

How comfortable are you exploring with minors? asked by Feztaa
if they are not dumb then I'm fine with it. I Started when I was a Minor and will be a minor for another 2 weeks.

What skills do you have in relation to UE? (climbing, photography, etc.) asked by Skaught
climbing, breaking sealed manholes from bottomside, poping them without a device from above. I enjoy "obstacles" and dealing with them.

What is the origin of your nick? asked by Skaught
The drain dwelling clown in IT.

Hypothetical situation: security is on to you, either ahead or behind. Run or talk your way out of it? asked by Vapor
If I am not legally suposed to be there then I probably wouldent be there. so most likely talk, but really security cant do much exept call real police so talking is your best option.

What's your stance on tagging, graffitti and other modifications to sites. asked by K.A.O.S.
perhaps building something with things already present or leaving a note, but no graffitti or such things.

Is it ok to use any sort of force when entering a site? asked by Skaught
twice again, depends on the site. I do admit I have used force once or twice before.

What's your stance on the use of drugs/alcohol in conjuction with UE? asked by K.A.O.S.
dont do it period, but I dont think it would be a good Idea to mix the two if one did.

Where do you currently live, and where have you explored before? asked by Anymouse
Oakridge and really only in the S.W.. and a tiny bit in seattle.

Is using lockpicks ok as a method of entering a site after all other options have been exhaused? asked by Skaught
It would totally depend on the site.

Do you think taking a small momento from an abandonment is ok? asked by Skaught
once again it really depends, however I would ushually not take anything.

Have you ever been caught by the police or security? asked by Skaught
No, but I must have been spotted once because the week after I had been on a roof there where grates put up the same place my companion and I had gained acess.

What are some places you found on your own? asked by Skaught
a pumping station for tap water, a large drain system around a train station(it was big and very obvious) small drains around my community. A hotel roof top in edmonton and another in the states.

around 2001

What is the first place you ever explored? asked by Skaught
The Bog, or maby a drain around Oakridge.

How often do you explore, or how involved are you in the UE community? asked by Anymouse
about every 1-2 weeks but whenever i get the chance is an awsome time.

What types of places do you like to explore? asked by Anymouse
Drains, rooftops, old buildings and mines are among the ones I have already checked out. I would like to add bridge rooms to that. I really like underground and large, I also like "useful drains" ie ones that are good underpasses for roads.

Why are you interested in UE? asked by Anymouse
I enjoy the Idea of going somewhere, where nobody really goes. I also like to see how some of the city works, ie. pumpung stations etc.

Do you have a UE kit, and if so, what's inside? asked by Vapor
not really, but I normally take some warmer clothes and about 3 sources of light when doing drains, as well as a small tool kit for opening outfalls and small bolts. a little bundle of parachute chord sometimes too.

Do you take pictures? If so, what type of camera do you use? asked by Anymouse
I want to start and just a normal digital i think its a fuji, I am just getting into photography after befriending a gentleman named walter petrigo a very good photographer.

What do you think about exploring active sites? asked by GCOAP

Do you run your own website? If so, what's the URL? asked by Feztaa
no.

What has the thing that has tempted your taking hands the most? asked by Night Shade
a pile of computers on their way to the junkyard, I gave in to that one I'll admit. and a key to a vault in a bank about to be torn down.

How do you deal missions with explorers whose ethics differ from your own? asked by K.A.O.S.
I Try not to push people past what they are comfortable with, and I try to not go with people I dont trust.

What was your favourite place to explore, and why was it so awesome? asked by Lucid
I have two. A school roof and it is awsome because of the veiw. A drain around where I live, it is nice and cool in the summer and has some nice benches. ok fine three, a pumping station because the tanks are so emense.

You're exploring with other people when someone sustains a serious injury, gets trapped, caught, etc. In your current position you're safe but trying to assist your fellow explorer could put you in peril. What action (if any) do you take? asked by K.A.O.S.
If i am not the only one who is alright I would do something, but I would try and find a safe way to do it.

What are your UE goals? asked by K.A.O.S.
to have a good knowlage of long drains in calgary and their manholes.

You find illegally dumped toxic waste while exploring, evidence of drug trafficking or other illegal/dangerous activity/conditions in the course of your explorations. What do you do about it, if anything? asked by K.A.O.S.
Take it to the police.

How did you find your way here? asked by K.A.O.S.
Friend.

If you could UE with absolutely anyone, who would it be, and why? asked by cloak-and-dagger
My paretns, they need soemthing like this, and they are a little cloed minded about it. and come on it would just be fun.

What things frighten you the most in terms of UE? asked by K.A.O.S.
somebody I take down/up or go down/up with getting hurt. Causeing a big accident by popping a manhole in the middle of a road, or just getting toqued by a car.
