Must Dos While Urban Exploring?
< on 5/5/2018 5:34 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER ForumQuote
I was wondering if there are any certain things you personally look for or do while exploring a structure. For me, I always try to climb to the top, look for bathrooms(or any other rooms with tiled walls), and try to find a control room(for industrial or prison complexes). It's also always fun to find old documents. What kind of stuff do you try to do or find on every exploration? Is there a particular reason for this? I always look for bathrooms since the first room I walked into for most of the buildings on one of my first explorations were bathrooms. I'm interested to see if anyone else does this sort of thing while exploring.



I'm here for a good time not a long time.

Gotta get that lonely chair photo. It's practically a rite of passage these days.

Bonus points if it's a wheelchair.

We we explore old mines, we always look for old newspapers. I've seen as early as 1910, but haven't broken into the 1800s yet. Avoid the ones with brown smears on them. :-/

ALWAYS get a picture of a broken window or a rusty fence, just don't break it yourself.



Problems end up in the the hospital, prison, or the morgue. Everything else is just an inconvenience.

I always want to for some reason even if it isn't tall get roof access. And if there's tunnels that's always a plus.

I'll definitely second you on this- I love finding the bathrooms for some reason. I like to take the 'bando selfie' in the bathroom mirror, and there's usually some gross teal or puke-green tile on the walls.

I like to find nature taking over. Vines and moss and trees growing all around. Even in concrete industrial buildings there is always a chance of finding a vine sneaking in a window. Also, vine covered windows are lovely in general.

I like to bring women that want to take their clothes off and pose for the camera.

Depending on the location I like to go into it with not much knowledge of the area, then find documents or papers and files to learn more about said place.
