But the Zone was a shithole and a lot of people were only there for money.

To be fair, the military only patrolled the border of the Zone. Once you got in, they wouldn't follow you.

Gear bump.
Got my soviet civil defense drug kit, working on loading it up. According to the translated inset they included, the originals had:
Real anti-nerve agents will be pretty useless innawoods, and are a bitch to get. I figure I'll do
I might drop $10 on some real potassium iodine just to say I have anti-rads, even though all it actually does is protect your thyroid. That should give me a pretty well-rounded drug kit for the field.

I strolled by and saw this out of nowhere. Asked around and it's apparently an abandoned MEPS that actually isn't as old as it looks. Looks like possible challenge territory.

If that is a original soviet civil defense aid kit, that stuff should be expired at least 25 years ago. And if that is the case, you could ride the high for days on end

I like these people.
Anyway, how do you tell if a site is truly abandoned? Because for every overgrown and paved over industrial park, there's always some holding company squatting on the property hoping somebody else wants it. It doesn't help that most of my recon is done through zoom earth and openstreetmaps.

Hour from the Pitt on the Ohio side, I'd be down for a day trip. Anything to break up the fucking monotony until I can go back home to Montana.

It didn't have the original drugs, it just had an inset that said what they originally were.
There'll pretty much always be SOME company that owns the land. It's a matter of if there are people actually watching or patrolling it. If locks are rusted or corroded, that's a good sign. Look for footprints, recent human debris such as cigarette butts, any sign of people having been there. Check out the entrances. And once you are in, just stay sneeki breeki.
It might be good to go in and wander around for a while before you make the actual trip, just because it'll be a lot easier to explain that you were just exploring if you're in civvies than if you're wearing full camo and a gas mask and open carrying a rifle.
