| | | Urban Exploring the Legal Way < on 11/29/2016 10:30 PM > | Reply with Quote
| | | So I was wondering how would one explore without worrying about getting arrested. I googled and found these. 1. Stick to historic sites 2. Ask permission 3. Contact the police 4. Arrange a tour 5. Don't call yourself an urban explorer 6. Don't bring tools other than a camera 7. Don't take souvenirs 8. Don't enter a place with a "No Trespassing" sign 9. Enter buildings that are viewed as abandoned by law (Doesn't always work) Six and seven are kinda obvious with any exploration. What are your opinions on this list? Have anything else to add? Link: http://weburbanist...ical-abandonments/http://adventure.h...ned-buildings1.htm Side note: Wasn't sure if this belonged in the rookie forum or main.Thank you for moving it. Sorry, will try to be more accurate with my locations of posts.

| | | Post by jeepdave Rookie forum honestly. There are legal ways, I've typically stuck to those with a few weeks exceptions. | Alright. Sorry about that ^^' Posted by Peptic Ulcer We all have a different perspective of risk vs reward and permitted explores can be great for a lot of reasons however if your risk tolerance for arrest is zero, then unless you are a master at social engineering, you can't call yourself an explorer. | Well, so far my 3 explorations were not given permission. I don't think I have mastered social engineering yet. Posted by blackhawk meh, sounds like bum info to me.
| What does bum info mean?

| | | Posted by blackhawk 5. Don't call yourself an urban explorer Who does? Seph Braless?
| Yep. If I have to explain myself for whatever reason, I'll call myself an amateur photographer instead. Most people don't know what the term "urban exploration" is, and people don't like feeling out of the loop. When people are made to feel stupid or ignorant, they get defensive and uncooperative. But amateur photography? That's self explanatory, doesn't sound pretentious, and has fairly positive connotations. Of course, not having to justify yourself at all is even better, but sometimes it's unavoidable.

| This is correct, but I'm taking "don't call yourself an urban explorer" to have a broader meaning in one's identity, not just when stopped by cops. If you only obey these rules, I don't think you're an urban explorer.

Nope, youre not alone sir, and I really don't care what others do or what they call it now but I think the term has become diluted from its origins over time.
| Permission with free reign is the cat's ass of exploring. It's extremely hard to do; you need advance social engineering infiltration skills to do it on a consistent basis. You need to prove you can handle yourself and the situation. Once you get to that point, you belong and are part of the crew. Free to line up killer shots and even shoot the demo if you choose. Plus invites to other sites if you played it right. I'm still on friendly terms with these people today after almost 10 years. More than one way to skin the cat.
