Oh my.
What a heading to a thread.
Those in the know know that I'd never fit through there.

I had the great joy of doing the confined spaces training at the combined emergency services academy out at port of Brisbane. I was not comfortable going into a hole like a cork in a bottle to say the least but once i was inside and tunneling for a few meters i found myself liking the peace and quite. At one point i realized i was dragging myself through a tunnel that was actually a gutted fridge. The pools of freezing water weren't nice though!! Would i do it again YES. Sometimes you have to scare yourself a little bit to taste life better.

Well if I were built like your avatar I might consider it myself but I am a tad more substantial than that

Believe me so am i, it was a snug fit. I would have sworn black and blue i would never have done it but then your put on the spot and next thing you know. Will say it is an experience never to forget and the rescue guys must have huge brass ones to work in that sort of environment with cutting gear etc.

Hopefully you will fart in terror and that will be hideous enough to repel said scary beast...
