 |  |  | Your (Successful) UE Resume
< on 2/19/2012 11:20 PM >
|  | | | I've had this Conversation with a few explorers, and got wondering, what kind of resumes people have... How many locations, what kind of locations, where they explore most and have SUCCESSFULLY gained entry. I looked through mine, and found it pretty cool. Especially when you look back, and have forgotten about old explores, and locations. If anybody know, remembers, or keeps track of their explores, share them here! I think it would be cool, and help people figure out what other explorers are into, and what they have in common, and some people can even meet new, local explorers!

| | | | Glass' is going to take up 9 pages.
I have been exploring since I was a tiny wee boy. I never took photos though until recently.
My most memorable was The Bigwin Inn (1992). Most frightening was n non-occupied parts of Endinburgh Castle (1986). One of the ones I was most nervous of was exploring the tunnels and abandoned areas of the Hamilton James Street Armouries (1989).
Since then and more recently my explorations more involve Historical research and such more than trolloping around just seeing the sights and experiencing the grandeur of my explorations, so more time is spent in archives and libraries than the actual sights.

I prefer the term dick swinging.
Like most people here I'd crash the site if I uploaded the pictures. But I keep a timeline folder with the best shot from each explore.
It has 140 pictures. Some are just exteriors I couldn't get in, some are exteriors from revisits to places I didn't even try to get into a second time, I just drove by and wanted a shot of.
I've been inside maybe 95 places, some are duplicates. Maybe near 70 different ones. I once calculated a success rate. Above 80%.

| | | | There was a guy here in about 2008 or so, who put up a ridiculously involved spreadsheet of his explores. Weather: hazy. Temp: 46.
just bizzarre.
I dont seem to explore much anymore, and my record under this name is not something to look at.
But I did explore a LOT. And I remember that by the 5th year or so it got to be a kind of Blurr. You could talk with other explorers while exploring, and a church gets brought up, and you say, "I have never done a church". And 5 min later you are digging thru filing cabinets together and it occurs to you,,,"Oh wait, I have done 2 churches."
I do miss the Harvesting ease of the East Coast though, man. A time crunch and drastic change of location has killed or stalled things for me this last year.
And I am so far gone from the mindset of crazed exploring or the importance of displaying it, but I must say,...the places linger in dreams. So many people argue against exploring alone, but my truly most profound moments were on my lone trips which were at least 95 percent of my explores. I had great FUN with others on occassion, but I could never CONNECT to a place with others. I don't begrudge for a minute the times I spent with others,.,.,maybe drinking in a place and laughing. But that was ANOTHER kind of exploring. Like everyone, I also have, but only a very few, horrid memories of realizing I am with COMPLETE ASSHOLES. In fact Urbex Tom, who said above that this thread is like a dick waving contest (correctly) is someone who experienced the SAME horrid people that are my WORST meeting memories. But away from that I must say, that if circs make you exploreless for awhile, as in I have prolly explored only 5 places in the whole last year, the memories of far off explores do linger like memories of a drugged nite.
Weirdly, sometimes OTHER people's explores come back to haunt too.
For instance: about 6 years ago or so....someone on this board posted about opening a medicine cabinet in a bathroom and a pigeon flew out to much suprise and terror. I have NO IDEA who experienced THAT, but I have never forgotten it.
And so on.

... that you can prove.
We didn't need a story. We didn't need a real world. We just had to keep walking. And we became the stories, we became the places. We were the lights, the deserts, the faraway worlds. We were you before you even existed. |
