Once i find potential explorers i always take them out to a test location. I usually pick a location that is not to important to me, in case i decide i don't want to take them out again, if they come out with there friends and trash the place i wont feel so bad. Never take someone out to a large location or a place that you really enjoy going. If you take them to a larger location because you feel confident use back roads to confuse the person about where the location is, this way if they try to get there themselves they wont have a clue. Anyways, i have taken a few potential explorer's out with me and have had them fail miserably. So what really annoys me when i take someone out to a test spot?
1. making lots of noise & not knowing when to whisper
2. the suggestion of bringing a sledgehammer, "just in case"
3. the inability to climb or jump any sort of barrier/fence
4. ignoring the groups suggestions when your the "newbie"
5. the lack of knowing what "silence" is
6. being to cocky - confidence is good but there's a difference
7. talking loudly in a location where there are people outside
8. standing in front of a glass window during the day with construction workers outside the building
9. thinking you know everything
10. giving away my locations to others or posting pictures of them on the internet along with information about the exact location
