Aware me of what's new in UE

Hey guys, what is the new stuff happening in the UEs? Been on board for a long time now, haven't explored for a while, was wondering what was happening? How are you keeping the UE interesting? The embroidered polo shirt? Is that all that's new?

You betcha

I know you're not, but you sound like a spambot spewing out random sentences.

The invisibility cloaks have been revolutionary, but battery life still needs lots of improvement.

The modern explorer relies heavily on the virtues of Jesus and affordable Malt Liquor to get by

nothing is new. Everyone bitches continuously. The new guys replace the old. Same old same old.

If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!
If you want to make exploring friends, send people private messages! Meet up in real life! Get off the internet!
Don't try to have a UER e-penis! You won't impress anyone! This especially means you, Minneapolis MN newbies!

Not trolling, just what trends I feel exist from lurking forums in the past few years:

USA
I've seen very little since the big sites like Beth steel, Eagle river PS, The Lab, Florida Door, all the Kirks, etc. However there are some which standout in my mind:
- ulive smashing the golden gate
- the usual suspects in nyc doing what they do best
- the Boston guys absolutely demolishing their city
- some amazing underground spaces being uncovered in cities previously underexplored


Canada
- Other than Toronto rooftops, and some AUMC whispers in BC I've seen little from Canada that compares with the explorations of ~5 years ago (Niagara PSes, Enwave tunnels, Montreal/To drains/sewers turning up gold constantly)


Western Europe
Filled with HDR obsessed, gas mask wearing, theatrical photoshoot, slider slapping photoshop bandits. Probably the most active region in the world these days, with an incredible number of decay tourists. The trendsetters living in this region have been venturing further east (Italy, Hungary for example), looking for new terrain and escaping the overshot, overpopulated urbex icons of Belgium. That's not to say there isn't great exploring in western europe, but it's very very explorer dense. Good chance you'll run into someone carrying 3 tripod, 2 bodies and 10 lenses and 5 gasmasks.

Paris still offers much if you know where to look, and places like Spain and Portugal still attract the bold willing to spend time hunting new sites without promise of reward. Coal industry in germany is also quite popular.


London
Since the big tube busts the scene is far less vocal and less active but things are being done if you believe the rumours. As expected though some big things happening from time to time if you're on the right forums or talk to the right people. Far less is posted openly online, understandably.


Rest of the UK
A few big things come to mind (nothing I would discuss outside the members area of certain forums sorry), but the glory days of Burlington, Longbridge, crazy sewer systems turning up in every city seem to have passed. The 'proleague' of manchester fame is still active but you'll not see 1/10th of their efforts online.


Eastern Europe
Where some of the most epic and impressive of recent explorations are occurring. If you're not tuned into the right places you are missing out on seeing some of the most ridiculous explorations ever in my opinion. Russia and Ukraine, sweet mother of god.


Australia
CaveClan has gone underground and posts very little outside of private channels. Rumours abound however of big things being done. Many other small exploring groups popping up, many with a penchant for photography and spinning steel wool.


Otherwise
- gasmasks, gasmasks everywhere
- people keeping their big finds and new locations close to their chests
- explorers venturing farther afield in search of new locations



Of course I am not on every forum, nor aware of every single thing explored recently and am therefore happy be to wrong about all of the above. I'd love to hear that there are a shitload of epic things being explored that I am unaware of. So, what did I miss?

The main thing I've seen as new is random places randomly getting more challenging or vandalized. Which has lead me personally to explore much less in the past few months out of frustration.

Sad, but true. We're older, working full-time jobs and getting married. Pathetic, I know :[

I've at least got 1 or 2 leads that should prove interesting in the next few months, but yea, TO is very tired these days. We need to do some more traveling.

What is new in UE? Places that aren't used as tourist destinations. I think the community (barring a select few explorers who seem to not be hung up on reproducing photos they saw from specific locations online) is not nearly as imaginative with their explorations as they used to be.

There you go bitching again, be quiet you!

BTW, there is nothing better than Four Locos, and cheap whiskey mixed with Dr. Pepper for exploring.
