| | | Hey! This is my first post here so apologies for any protocol breach. I've officially only known about the urbex community for a couple years, and only begun to really spend much time researching urbex sites before visiting for maybe a year. However, I've been climbing up to rooftops, and wandering the forgotten, desolate, and off limits for as long as I can remember. Previously, I had a few friends I could usually call on to go exploring with me, but I moved up to Minneapolis a couple years ago, and now I am finding it a lot harder to find people to go exploring with. My main buddy recently dipped out on any real exploring trips due to legal concerns with the pastime. I don't think it is particularly advisable to loudly look for UE cohorts, and the few people who I know that I would trust to be discrete and- realistically- athletic enough to come with me, well, they have no idea why anyone would want to do this. I scout out enough sites on my own, and often go exploring by myself which I don't mind except for the fact that I do possess a small desire for self preservation, and recent injuries by myself have made me even more wary of soloing it. So in conclusion to that ramble, I really want to find some ppl in Minneapolis to explore the more risky places with but I am having no luck with finding people. (and I've been looking for around a year now) How do you all deal with this? Did many of you meet on places like this, or just have more adventurous friends than me?

| If you have instagram I would look for smaller explorers in Minneapolis, since you're just getting started. Explorers with follower counts in the 100-500 range. DM them, and see if anyone is down to explore with you. Have a few locations that you found so they know you're not just fishing for locations. You can try hitting-up Free4all. He's a pro, and he's big in the Minneapolis area. He may not respond because he doesn't know you lol, but you can try. Look at his followers too, he probably has some other local explorers following him.

| | | Posted by The Dead Hooker In Your Trunk Happy to see some new people, personally I'd just like to see some pics and PM a little before a meet up. happy travels and welcome to UER!
| The only problem with that is knowing when the meetups occur- most meetups don't seem to be posted to UER. I'd love to attend another meetup, if only I knew when the next one is. But OP, you're in a good city for this hobby- MSP has one of the biggest urban explorer communities in North America, though it is also known as one of the most tight knit. As a result of the city constantly sealing cool places, they tend to guard information carefully and be extremely wary of outsiders, if only out of sheer necessity. That being said, the explorers from MSP that I've met have been very nice people and responsible explorers once you get to know them. EDIT: Also, don't bother with Instagram. Many of the serious explorers I've met don't even have a UER account, much less Youtube or Instagram- and if they are on UER, they only pop in occasionally. Those tend to be the long time, serious explorers who make up the core of the community. Follower count doesn't determine trustworthiness- it only means they are less likely to show discretion.
