What's your standard gear?

[RollRollParry]

I've never done this before but I was struggling to find anyone to go with so I figured I'd jump in at the deep end (cautiously) and just go solo. I'm wondering what people typically bring with them?

Here's some of what I came up with:

• Respirator
• Torch/flashlight
• Camera
• Water

Obviously you'd want to travel fairly light, so keeping to what I'd consider to be the essentials. Anything I'm missing here? Sensible clothing too of course.

Yep, that's about it really. You seem to be quite sensible, so just use a bit of common sense when thinking about the place you intend to visit.

I'd add a tripod for long exposures in dark places.

• Camera + Lenses
• Tripod
• Torches and Spare Batteries
• Led Video Light (Depending on where I'm going)
• Gloves
• PP3 Mask
• Lucazade/Water
• Appropriate clothing and footwear.

Just remember wearing a pp3/resp may protect you a bit but unless you decontaminate yourself you will be driving home with all that shite over your clothing and will probably end up breathing it in

I’d add a car if you want to travel far.but I think you got the basics good luck

toilet roll because when you gotta go then you've got to go!! Nothing worse than resorting to use of a sock!

Noe of these things are essential, you can cope without any of them..... except toilet roll! The only true umbex essential.

Great addition, I'm not exactly a photographer but I'm hoping to pick up a few bits trying this out and this isn't something I'd thought about.

Wall paper, leaves, your mates camera bag.. bog roll is not essential..

Kinda depends on where youre going. Stuff that comes with me on every trip would include my camera gear, gloves and food/drink. Anything else is dictated by the venue. Good idea to keep a decent first aid kit in the car though just in case.
