Thread 2938753

How do I not die from sewer gas? I want to go into an old timey sewer like picrel and it has ventilation shafts all the way and the tunnel is large enough to drive a car into and is level in its entirety (entrance is from the side if a ravine so one does not descend at any point)

bring birb also just put a blower where you go in.

practice holding your breath until you are no longer addicted to air

This. I hear the first 2 weeks of detoxing from air is the worst. Go without air for 2 weeks and you won’t feel like you need it anymore. Worked for me with Newports.

OP here I am a birb (parakeet) that's why I am asking

Buy a working SCBA, learn how to use it properly and bring more than one high quality waterproof flashlight or seal cheap ones well.

Sewer gas even from a babby open septic tank is respectably dangerous. Sewers just look like sewers so there's no benefit poking about in them.

You haven't gotten the hidden gems and loot yet??? Noob.

It most assuredly isn't.

Get a continuous 4 gas detector that will tell you if you're going to die. This is not optional

If it's just stinky wear a respirator.

Blower blowing air in is good but it won't take you very far

>>2938753 (OP)
Blowing air in is just a gamble if you don’t know where it goes and have no idea what gases there are. Either test it or bring an scba

>>2939514
4 gas detectors don’t normally detect ammonia do they

Why go into a place where you might die? Is there treasure or just shit and piss in a puddle?

>>2939515
No, but you'd have 20% O2 and acceotable CO so you wont suffocate, and you won't explode so your respirator should be able to get rid of the ammonia.

If you see graffiti, it's fine.

Do not. confined space with many dangerous and you are obviously stupid. Many trained people die every year.

why do you want to go into a shit tunnel

>>2938753 (OP)

is this what indians think the backrooms is

>>2942014
That's a very good question. I don't see the appeal.

Ask your mom

funny how they made a whole tunnel to have a little stream run through it

Buy a good gas analyzer. Don't skimp or buy an amazon / ebay one. That said, you need to understand the nature of the gases you may come across in confined spaces and the risks. You really need closed air-supply for these sorts of ventures. No clothing that might generate a spark, if you're using radios they're another point of risk. Gas leaks can kill you in more ways than one.
