sounds like a bad idea unless the for sale sign has been up forever and the place is dilapidated. even then i'd be scared of all the people around the area.

when a place is for sale they maintain it, send people to keep an eye on it, keep alarm systems on, etc. the best places to urbex are properties where the owners have given up on it.

does anyone know any feasible way to grab Smg and go inna Sewer/Abandoned area/other urban area. Anyone know about exploring abanadoned urban areas, sewer, abandoned bunkers/shelters and other stuff like that. and any stories from urban exploration in general?

I'm from /k/ and Genuinely want to get more into exploring abandoned city areas cause as i've started to think the new era of exploration is exploring the unsustainable areas we have built. so any tips, and advice for a new person in this and any stories.

Current status of the silos ive been too since i posted this.

Site 1 complex 1A

Surrounded by a well maintained fence, adjacent to the waste management "dads" landfill. There were not any "no trespassing" signs, but you will have to scale a barbed wire fence to get into the complex area. Not sure about getting in, as i did not venture into the fenced area. Possible concealed access on the east side of the site, unlocked gate that leads to dirt trail along side the fence. Will report when i go back out there as to getting into the silo site itself. You could drive and park in a bit, out of sight of the road.

Site 1 complex 1b

Site is located on state trust land. Drove out to the site, the gate is locked but can be accessed by entering code SEAN into the second from the right padlock on the chain. I belive that the far right padlock is busted, and whoever owns the property just hooks it up to make it look like its locked.

Actual site has several fences and cow pastures on top of it, as well as some structures by where the elevator is. Silo doors are in cow field. Watch out for cow poops and rabid reactive targets AKA prairie dogs.

As for the underground complex:

Totally flooded. had to move a big chunk of concrete off the entrance, the ladder well that puts you down above the T junction between the silos. Climbed down the ladder, but the water was about 2 feet up from the catwalk. Water was REALLY clear, so i may be headed back to that one later on with some SCUBA gear and a set of brass nuts.

Site 3 complex 2b (deer trail)

Easiest access out of all so far. Finding the site is easy, drive out to deer trail and head out toward the site. It is located right underneath some high tension power lines. 2 entry points are available, one is the ladderwell that all these sites have and the other is on the east sidePost too long.

If anyone is interested, I made an e-book out of this, as I couldn't find a digital copy and happened to own it, and someone requested. It's not perfect, but it's 'complete', any future/improved versions will be in >>>/pdfs/906

If you have any feedback, find anything missing or out of order, let me know there or here, and I'll polish it up into a better final version. (I know a few images and the entire timeline in the appendix is fucked, new version will be in above thread).

I'm not sure who the money goes to, as the author passed 10 years ago, but for my own comfort here's a link to buy the actual book, and/or copies of his zine: http://www.infiltration.org/aaa-paypal.html

If there is an extreme amount of interest, I may purchase and digitize the zines in that link too.

I live right by a place with no name, where a bunch of people are basically living in sheds. There is part of it/near it that I have named the "Trash Maze". You walk into the woods a ways, following small foot worn trails, and you start seeing trash everywhere. Stuff like busted kids' toys, broken vacuum cleaners, the further you go in you start seeing evidence of small campfires, and useless things purposely strung up in the branches of trees. One tree has a bunch of coathangers all on one limb, an a mirror, and a bunch of cooking utensils, and a busted oven on the ground below it. You keep walking and you see CDs and bags hung up in trees and there is a spot with an open suitcase, with clothes pouring out of it and strewn all over the place, like someone stole it and then ransacked it for fun. there's a half-busted umbrella perched on a little chair surrounded by batteries and broken CD players, all kinds of stuff, all separated out by little footpaths. every group of trees/bushes is its own little scene of artfully arranged garbage that you cant see from far away, you can only see it if you get into the bushes. basically it looks like a bunch of goblins tried to build a village out of broken stuff they stole.

pic is from around that area, but i took that pic years ago before i had found the actual trash maze, which i've yet to get pics of. I may have taken some video though, I'll check my files later.

question for board owner: would you like to cross link with >>>/poverty/ to bring us both traffic?

Unfortunately I can't find the videos I took of it. But I will definitely bring a camera along with me whenever I go out there next.

Abandoned buildings interest me, but I am definitely more interested in squatting and homeless living, living in the woods, boondocking, etc. I'd be interested in your experiences with the fringe.

On that note here is another picture taken years ago, on a beach. I walked quite a ways from where people would be hanging out (it was a little used beach anyway) and found a very well constructed driftwood hut. It had a rock pathway leading up to it and rocks all along the wall facing the ocean, to protect against the cold wind. inside of it there was this stump with a face carved in it. there was also a rose tied to the wall with barbed wire, and some evidence of a fire. I kept walking for another half an hour and found another hut in an even more remote location. The roof wasn't as good but the rock wall and pathway were better looking.

For months after this I would look at these occasionally and once from a distance saw a guy going in and out of the first one with a fishing pole.

>Thinking of making a short documentary.


I'd watch that. Sounds cool.

cross link, as in link my board anywhere semi-prominent here. a sticky thread or in the announcement. i'll put the link to your board in my sticky if you do that. If you dont want to that's fine, and youre welcome to link to your board in a reply to my sticky or create its own thread if you want, regardless, i dont mind if people advertise on my board.

What really got me interested was hanging out with some squatters. I was originally exploring the old silo in a thread I posted on here, and saw a phone # written on a wall. I called it and talked to someone about the place. They had lived there for a year or two, and told me about their new residence, an relatively large abandoned wilderness propety in the heart of the city owned by some foreign guy.

So I met up with this stranger, and broke bread in her squatter yurt with some other people who lived in that area. They were all very colorful, and we all shared stories about ourselves. I'm actually planning to go there tomorrow night because she recently installed a stove in the yurt to brave it through the winter, and is celebrating with a party.

People who live on the fringes are almost completely undocumented, but it's fascinating to me how they live. I realize I may sound like a shitty oldschool anthropologist in a bad way, but I really just want to humanize these people by sharing their stories and their way of life. It's all so varied and interesting how they reject society for whatever reason, and live in the spirit of our nomadic ancestors.

I'll try to gather up some photos and insight on how my new friends live, and make a thread about it.

Usually I bring:
Maglite

Glowsticks
Chalk
Mechanix m-pact gloves
Hiking boots
Pack of cigarettes
Water

And I have it all tucked nicely in my MOLLE assault pack.
