Exploring solo vs group

Forest_Wanderer • 1 week ago

What are people's preferences when it comes to exploring alone or with friends? I've only ever done solo missions. I assume that having someone around is useful for assisted climbing, watching for alarms, etc., but you also have to coordinate and the bigger group might attract more attention.

How to find abandoned places to level up?

Akos Koteles • 2 months ago

Well this is self explanatory im wondering what tips you guys have as to founding places. Also since im wrting might as well ask, to level up do i need to fill all requirementsor just one of them? im guessing i will have to fill out all but no hurt in asking, also is there any flexibility to the requirements? Cheers in advance.

Help please!

I live in Ontario, and would like to become an urban explorer for thrill, adventure, education, and to meet people. I found this site a few months ago, and just learned about the level feature. I have a few questions on how to level up, and was hoping for some guidance! Firstly, what is considered meaningful content when contributing to places? Second of all, what is the current application fee for level 2? My most pressing questions are about submitting new locations: How should I find new locations? I have a level 3 location that I want to post, but I don't know if it's already been submitted, as I can't see the higher level postings. Finally, does anybody have general tips on urbex? Thank-you for reading all of this, and I will appreciate any answers provided. Have a great day!

Requesting for Level 2

belerey • 2 days ago

Was thinking about applying sooner or later, thought it was a good chance to receive some thoughts on my albums from other users. I have reached the level 2 requirements and have gone just a little bit over. I obviously want level 2 to receive access to more spots to be able to keep exploring and contributing to this website. I am pretty new to urbex, I've always had a thing for exploring but never knew how to start until I came across a nice hangout spot around September 2023. Ever since my motivation to find and explore more spots has been a lot. Though I haven't been actively posting for 3 months I have been active as a member and have used this website to find a few spots. I didn't post because I didn't realize how the site worked beforehand where you can level up and receive access to more spots. I haven't posted any sort of exteriors (when I say exteriors I mean the structures that aren't collasped and or just random spots such as my level 1 "Chester Hill), and have tried to imrpove my quality and quantity of pictures album by album. I always like to provide a nice description towards my locations. Again I'm very open to feedback as well so I would highly appreciate if so.

Requesting for Level 2

indeed1 • 2 weeks ago

Ahh, well I'm back here reapplying for level 2 again. I am now much more familiar with how things work and I can actually read properly this time lol. Anyways, since I last applied I've got the new location requirement completed and as of today it's been 3 months of me being 'active' as a L1 user (since the actual day I posted my first album). For those who aren't level 4 and cannot see everything I've posted by default, here's a breakdown of my albums, if it helps you in your voting. I have at: **Level 2 Locations**: 6x interiors, 10x exterior only **Level 3 Locations**: 9x interiors, 1x exterior only **Level 4 Locations**: 4x interiors, 1x exterior only Then of course everything else, everyone can see. Open to other comments & suggestions, but this time I at least correctly meet all minimum requirements for L2. Thanks everyone!

Requesting for Level 2

Forest_Wanderer • 1 month ago

I haven't been exploring for as long as other people, but I know the rules and respect them. I've submitted photos for >10 locations, many of which are higher than my current level. While I'm capable of finding new locations (or rediscovering ones that people have already found), I'd like Level 2 access because I prefer to know what kind of hazards I'm dealing with ahead of time. Furthermore, I want to take photos from angles that few people have done (e.g. rooftops with no ladder access). Possible caveat: the "new locations" that I've discovered so far are exterior-only. This is because I couldn't find a POE and/or the security was too tight. I still need more experience in that aspect.

Requesting for Level 3

Face_Tinnitus • 1 month ago

I deserve this so I find more sites, post more pictures, get more followers, and feel like a more important man. Also I Am awesome at urbex. None of the opening sentences is true. I'm none of these things, I do not need level 3, I would like to have level 3 mainly to update and improve the Atlantic Canada section of the database. I’m not going to go into my stats, there right there on the screen, I’ve been to some interesting places and some real garbage holes, made some friends along the way and some memories and that's not going to change with level 3 or 4 or 2. Oh last thing, film photography is great, give it a try, live a little. Thanks, Face_Tinnitus

Requesting for Level 2

Hi! I've been interesting in urban exploration for about 6-7 years now. Unfortunately I didn't really do much of anything back when I first got interested, but in the past year or so I've been going to a handful of places. Speaking on the requirements, I've only gotten 2 locations so far. I was hoping I would have a lot more but seems as though a lot of places I end up finding and going into are already on here! Not a bad thing, but I will always continue to be on the lookout and contribute what I can. If this is too much of an issue, then I will keep working towards it and re-apply if necessary. Regarding albums and photo contributions, I believe I've done good. I always take shots of interiors when I can get inside, taking both landscape and portrait shots with a nice, mirrorless Canon R10 that I love to put to use. I believe I deliver quality in my shots. I've got albums from locations of all levels: a 4 (interior & exterior), a couple 3's (1x only exterior, 1x few interior shots & an exterior), a handful of 2's (few exterior only, few both interior & exterior), and a few 1's (1 interior only, a couple both interior & exterior). As mentioned, a few of these albums are only exteriors, but this is because one day I went around looking for as many buildings as I could and added what pictures I could get (which were only exteriors at the time, no PoE's found) just in case any of them were new locations. Low and behold, there was a new location! That being said, I believe it can be helpful at times to have some updated exterior shots if there hasn't been an recent album / view of the outside; for other potential explorers on the site, in case there were any major PoE / barricade changes. I have talked to a handful of yous in Discord, and will continue to try and include myself more and more. I've really enjoyed both uploading and seeing other photos of locations on this site and I'm happy to finally be able to contribute and really act on these places and see them for myself. I would love to get elected to level 2, hopefully there are others that agree. That being said, constructive criticism is always welcome too. Thank you and happy exploring!

If you're riding in a vehicle, look out the window and observe the surrounding buildings. Check for signs of dilapidation: overgrown lawns, smashed/boarded windows, graffiti, rusted vehicles left on the driveway, etc.

Face_Tinnitus • 6 days ago

I find it depends on the site, doing my normal house exploring I prefer to be solo, easier to go unnoticed. But for larger sites I find one other person is good, for example we have an abandoned navy base here which is a very large site I'll bring my brother as videographer, gaffer, sherpa, and just an extra set of hands. Have tried a larger group (a film group) but it became difficult with everyone walking into other peoples shots and added to the risk of somebody noticing more cars then normal outside an abandoned building.

You ideally needed to go to 4 more locations that others posted and take photos

Anonymous • 2 days ago

Yea I will be continuing to post, is it ok though if you could specify what I'm missing though, I would greatly appreciate it.

Anonymous • 2 days ago

You’re missing four contributions to other locations, but you do have extra locations of your own (much more important in my opinion). It seems like you are making a good effort so as long as you continue to post then 👍

Anonymous • 2 days ago

Yea again I also am pretty new to this. I'm not exactly expecting to receive the promotion I was hoping more for any feedback. Of course though I would be happy if I received it.

Hi! I want to update the information given about the Historic Fleetwood Church. My husband and I founded Spirit Guides Paranormal. We are the team spearheading most of the fundraising efforts for Steve Pollet and the church (along with other teams, especially Transcend Paranormal.) We raised enough funds to renovate the steeple in November of 2021, which was a huge milestone. We're now working towards fixing the foundation, by running fundraising events including the annual Fleetwood ParaCon and the Psychic Faire of Brandy Station. The old church is definitely haunted. Many paranormal teams and individuals who have investigated the church and its grounds agree on that. One of the spirits that frequents the church is Mr. Daniel Wine's wife, Malinda. To my knowledge, Daniel, himself, has never been detected. You're right that the graves were supposed to be exhumed when the church was decommissioned and the congregation moved, and it does seem to have been a sloppy endeavor. One gravestone remains. It was pushed almost all the way to the railroad tracks behind the church and abandoned there. It's sad. There is a map that references a "Wine Family Cemetery" and places it near where the church currently stands, but there is no sign of it anywhere that we've been able to access. There is a wooded area that we can't get to, which is currently owned by other people, but would have belonged to the Wines when they donated the church property. It may be back in those woods. I don't know. The church was built in 1880 and began as a Methodist Episcopal Church in 1881. There is evidence, however, that the building was erected on the foundation of an older building. Steve has found Civil War bullets in the foundation. Also, there is a sketch in the Library of Congress, done by a Civil War soldier in 1864, that depicts the building beside Fleetwood, which was used as a Civil War field hospital. In the sketch, the soldier drew the corner of a building where the Fleetwood Church now stands. Something was there, but no one knows what.
