Re: College Campus and Security Cameras
I'm not living on campus anymore but I did a few ops, just exploration and roofs really. Never really messed with vending machines much, I hear you can tape up a dollar with packing tape and get it back by pulling, or entering access codes to change settings but I don't know the specifics of it all.

No mat for me, that's extra weight that can be improvised, with either cardboard or some pallets (if I need to stay off the ground). I'm gonna try to get a green or brown (camouflage would be best) tarp, to keep bugs/rain off.
