| | | Posted by Ruzzeh While yes, I am afraid of structural failures, I'm actually more scared of the people that I might stumble upon by myself. I work very closely with the psychiatric population, and even in a controlled environment violence is very common. I've been close to having my lights knocked out many times in that context. Now an abandoned building by myself? No way I could defend myself.
| See them, hear them, smell them (cigs, sometimes aftershave,soap etc) before they do you. The less people, the easier it is the conceal and management yourself. 3 big guys against a bad guy with a .45 are 3 dead guys. I avoid the homeless and -their- homes; respect. Most times there will be no one in most locations, after doing this hundreds of times it's the way it works out. You are your own worst enemy especially if you are distracted and not watching every step you take. Taking that last step into oblivion is all too easy to do. Many here, myself included have come very close to doing it or have done it. No one here that I know of has ever been injured by assault while sploring. Rule #1 - People are trouble, avoid contact whenever possible.
This is something you need to work out yourself, whichever way you best can. Keep cell phones muted and noise to a minimum including talking. No smoking; you can smell it a block downwind. This becomes much harder as group size increases. The more people, the easier it is to spot you all and the more of a threat you appear to be to others. Being perceived as a threat can have very bad consequences for you... and cause you to lose opportunities.

| | | Posted by taragon we are definitely out there for sure, but it is still is dominated by men. I feel similarly about finding other trans n queer folks to explore with. I have a few queer friends that I explore with, but I'm always trying to find more lgbtq & specifically trans explorers. It's just nice to have people similar to me and totally understand my own experience and identity. Still working on that.
| i'm a trans girl, a lesbian, and do urbex! i agree on it being nice to explore with people that have some shared base of understanding. it's actually kinda funny to me because most of the people i know that are into urbex are trans/queer in some way. my girlfriend and i are both super into urbex and work on research a lot together, and at least two other trans people i know on my campus have at least a passing interest. i'm always a bit worried about doing stuff out because i feel slightly more scared getting caught by LEOs or property owners (or nosy Karens) as a trans girl, but it's not the worst thing ever. the urbex community seems overall pretty welcoming too which is nice. it's also cool that queer people are carving out some space in the community, esp younger ones, bc i feel like (at least the people i know) aren't doing it for flashy photos for insta or w/e
