Urban Exploration

[Riot Da Woof!]

Well, it's been quite a while since I've been on this forum! However, I've been introduced to something due to a couple of incredibly generous Australian furs.

Urbex'ing.

Im interested to know if there are any furs in our ever expanding community who partake in such activites as I'll certainly be picking up the hobby once I've returned home from overseas!

As for those who just MAY be interested in what this activity is all about:

I would totally be up for that man sounds like it could be fun and a little bit of a workout definitely sounds like a way to have a adventure  :-3

This reminds me, I have yet to visit the usually off-limits parts of the fabled UBC steam tunnels. So near, yet so far.

I love being a touristy "urbexer", though my time budget is pretty strung in and out of itself.

[Riot Da Woof!]

Glad your interested Icey! Hopefully We'll be able to do a little bit of exploration sometime in the near future! it can be quite a substantial workout depending on where we decide to go. ^..^

Tef, well, if you can manage a couple hours of a day I'd be more then keen do catch up and try with you!
(granted, it may be a while before I'll be back in Vancouver... about ten months to be frank!)

[Icey Dominus]

One your not frank and TWO WTF!! I thought you where only gunna be gone for eight months!

[Icey Dominus]

Yeah, I'm a fan of this and have done this in the past. There is a LOT of cool abandoned buildings out there. Moreso out east than here, but it's still fun to poke around at stuff.


Just remember that when you are doing this that you are almost certainly breaking the law. Don't look shady when you do it, and follow the old advice of only breaking ONE law at a time. If you get busted trespassing and you have pot on you it's very different for example.

Carry a camera (helps you look like a tourist instead of a hobo) and wear proper travel clothes. Don't be unsaved/unwashed/in shady clothing.

Icey, I'll be out here for a further 9-10 months :p

@Ember.
Thanks for the tips man, much appreciated! Where abouts have you been to around vancouver if I may ask? anything you'd recommend?

[Tef]

Oh, don't worry, it's only during the last two months of the term. I'll be more freer during weekends in the months of January and February.

I did all of it while I was on the road. When you change cities every couple of days, pretty much all minor laws don't apply to you anymore.

Josh (Sokii) and I have somewhat agreed to try and get into this when he's back from Australia and I think it'd be great to have someone with your experience accompany us.  I'm pretty excited about it and I'm totally up for learning new stuff!

[Renwaldo]

This sounds like fun. It's like hiking, but indoors! I'd totally be into it.  ;D

[Tef]

Oh, one more thing that flew off the top of my head for some reason:
In that case, I'm gonna find ways to get myself a new camera as an option. xP

[Azlan]

I'd be up for this too when it happened. I've done some urban exploration/photography before but would like to get into more.

I am strangely siked to do something like this I am already finding myself scoping out areas lol
