Didn't mention where im from because not looking for someone online to meetup with (just as I don't have a car and it would be awkward) and yeah a friend would probably be a lot of help in a fall
| There is no "if I fall". You fall you die.Burn that into your skull. Falls must be avoided; this is your responsibility alone. Every step and handhold count. Once in free fall you have very little control. Since you didn't plan the jump, you land on -whatever- is below you. Most fatal falls off ladders* are between 6-10 feet. On shorter falls you have less time to position yourself and judge what to do even if you react quickly, correctly and can see where/what you are headed into. Most sploring falls are blind drops into oblivion to shortly meet your fate. *https://www.ehsto...falling-off-ladder

| | | Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I ran solo for my first three years or so before I started meeting up with other people and now it's 50/50 if I'm exploring with people or alone. If you're exploring alone, you can take as much time as you want for pictures, you can explore at your own pace, it's easier to be stealthy, and you only really have to worry about yourself. The downside is there is nobody to watch your back, you're on your own if things go south, and two people can achieve things one person can't. If you're exploring with a friend or two you gotta worry about them, and I personally feel a sense of responsibility for them if I'm the more experienced one. Plus it's harder to be stealthy with more people. On the upside I personally find urbex more fun when the experience is shared, and it's a bit less stressful when you have somebody to watch your back. Exploring in large groups can be done, but it's almost always done in locations that have been previously run by at least one or more people in the group before. The lack of stealth and tendency of explorers to scatter like a herd of cats in large groups makes exploring in groups unwise in locations where nobody is experienced with that location.
