Bees. I have a horrible fear of the things I'm slowly getting better about but fuck. bees. Little honey bees? Not so bad, wasps and hornets can go die.

Signs will keep me out, sort of. Depending on the level of "Keep yo shitty self out"-ness it has.

Alarms actually don't phase me so much since I work security, if the alarm is actively sounding and does for a while most likely it's a system trouble alarm which means "help I either had a short circuit or I have too much dust". I encountered this years ago I bet it's still going off.

Other people will keep me out for sure.

Keep in mind, this is Texas. Shoot first, ask later.

This guy actually got in his truck and chased me after I just took a photo of the sign (okay, so I forgot my flash was on...)!



Shoot first, ask questions later is a Texas way of life.

Only 2 things that I've encountered so far:
No possible way in with breaking something.
People (cops, thugs, random people I don't know)...security not so much.

If I see something like this I turn around immediately because it would be wrong of me to disobey the sign...

Neither of the places pictured in the last two posts seem very abandoned. The first has two newer trucks parked out front and the second a open trailer with what looks to be a Bobcat inside. Vehicles parked on the grounds of a building would keep me away. Usually means someone is there, or that the building, or it's property, is being used in some capacity.

The 1st photo (mine) doesn't show the letter posted from 2013 showing that the building was condemned. The pickup had a flat tire and the lock on the gate was pretty rusty. I've passed this place for about 9 years and it hasnt changed much so I felt comfortable going in. I'll eventually post the pics I grabbed but want to do some research first. SO many great sites to visit, SO little time for research.

The biggest thing that keeps me away from a place is this:

The police rolling up to the light while you're looking at a high-advisability location. Multiple, different times.

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. The cop made a point of following me, taking my license plate number, and telling me to stay away. Still went in though.

I had that happen recently. Went twice and there was a cop sitting there. Came a different time and used different parking spot and got in easy enough.

I noticed something about my friends recently. They only explore when I take them with me, apart from a few occasions, but I only take them to abandonments. Once I tried to take them through a used building and they said "but wait it's illegal!"





My friend manhandled me up a roof once.

I may be completely alone on this, but I am paranoid about falling through a rotten floor. More often than not I am deterred from a place if the floors look especially unsafe, rusty, rotten, etc, or if parts of a building are unstable or bowing. I am actually more likely to check out a partially collapsed house than one that has a seemingly rotten or unstable section, even if rationally A:a partial collapse can be arguably more stable and B: chances are a bowing wall has been that way for years without problem, and one explore most likely wouldnt crumble it. Either way, it's just one of those weird things that turns me away when my paranoia gets ahold of me, and it usually does because nobody wants to fall through a floor or crushed by a roof.
