| | | Awe man, wish I could come with you, looks fun. But yeah, don't go alone. You're in danger of much more than running into a crackhead. Bring a rope, respirator, flashlight, etc. You'll want to be really geared up, also bring food and water. Take extra precaution of falling and weak flooring. I also recommend exploring during day, less likely to have people in it then, and it'll be a lot easier for somebody to see your flashlight at night. If you really want to be safe, do research on the building. Learn of any hazards that might be related to the abandonment of the building, or what the building was used for. Good luck, bring back some rad pics for us.

| | | I've explored one or two large scale industrial locations on my own before. First off, watch your step. That is a multilevel building that has been abandoned for over a decade. Wood rots, metal rusts, concrete crumbles. That's not the hazardous part. The hazardous part is that it can be difficult to distinguish dangerous structural conditions when exploring. Be careful, and watch out for hellholes. Second off, carry a phone, a dust mask or respirator, and a good flashlight with fresh batteries. The phone is in case you become trapped or injured. The dust mask or respirator is to protect against mold spores, concrete dust, loose fiberglass, exposed insulation, etc. Dust masks won't protect against asbestos, but asbestos isn't your main concern anyway. The flashlight is because abandonments get very dark, even in the middle of the day. Tying back into my first paragraph, it's easier to see dangerous things if you have light. Just don't shine it at windows- that attracts attention. Watch your back, and consider bringing pepper spray if it makes you feel safer. I've never needed it before, but that doesn't mean you won't. Also, be quiet. You'd be surprised how loud people normally are. If you and your wife are going together, you should each have one of all the above listed items. Everyone in a group should be prepared to explore solo if necessary- it helps to be prepared on the off chance anything goes wrong.
Lastly, have fun. That looks like it will be a pretty good location.
