The crawl space in that old house on Elm Street was a total nightmare

Last week I had to run wire through a space that was maybe 18 inches high and full of cobwebs and old pipes. The homeowner swore it was 'easy access' but I was on my stomach for two hours. Anyone have a go-to method for tight spaces that doesn't wreck your back?

Feel my back seize up just reading that. My go-to method is a lot of groaning and promising myself I'll stretch more. I mean, I've tried those little knee pads and a headlamp, but honestly I just end up crawling like a sad turtle. Maybe it's just me but I always come out looking like I lost a fight with a dust bunny. The real trick is having a good story to tell after, makes the back pain feel almost worth it.

Wait, you actually own a headlamp for this? @caleb_bell, that's a level of commitment I can't even imagine. I picture you in full spelunking gear just to find a lost sock under the bed. My version of a headlamp is just holding my phone in my mouth and hoping I don't drool on it.
