Very nice, we need more rurex.

Thank you.

I think we should leave our uTox here too.

>>719

Or we could just use IRC instead of something as stupid and drama-based as Tox.

>>715

Bump. Need more lurkers. We also need more people on this board.

;-;

it's straight up a couple hundred feet, metal fused into slightly cracked or crumbling 1970's concrete. you could probably get away with climbing without gear and be fine, but just the idea of it all scares the crap out of me.

I think the age of the structure and lack of supervision and training alone makes it dangerous.

While entering an abandoned factory, I stepped on a nail and it went a goodway into my foot.

We stopped (2 chick friends and I) and looked at it. I wasn't about to let them down, and just as well I was excited myself, so I wrapped my foot up in a makeshift sock bandage and limped my way into the factory.

I had a lot of fun, but that sock got pretty bloody. I figured I'm a big guy, and can take some bloodloss from time to time.

>it's still frightening to think about falling and hurting yourself and not having anyone around to call for help

Anon, please get someone to go with you. Even if they don't go up the silo and are just close by to hear you yell out if anything goes wrong. There's so few of us here already. ;_;

>>777

>first heavenly trips on this board

Undoubtedly checked.

>>730

In my opinion the safety harnesses and caribiners just get in the way but please anon brig a friend to watch you that can call for help. And take video and pictures to brig back to us.

>>726

I was there a week after the guy fell. It's still a great place, despite the heavy traffic it gets. These are dark times for MSP urbexers though. Pigsnut and the elevator near it are sealed shut. A lot of the tunnels are getting closed up. There's more patrols around well known sites. It fucking sucks man.

>>730

Bring someone with you. If something goes wrong you want someone there to call for help. Ladder climbs are rarely dangerous and your equipment is overkill.

Probably thought you were part of his hallucinations.

at first i noticed that it was 45 minutes long and i thought to myself "i don't want to watch some faggot walk around an abandoned house for an hour, i'll just skip around.

i watched the beginning to see what exactly it was he was going to explore

he walks up to some shabby ass ladder and i thought to myself as he was talking "okay we get it - it isn't safe, don't make your video about safety precautions and just get to the damn house and find something cool

then i see that little rope he throws up there and realize what he is about to do. i watch the entire thing without fast forwarding, and i am going crazy and have the feeling that I'M the one about to be falling off to my death

someone needs to make this video virtual reality compatible

>>618

I realize this post is a month old, but I'd like to say something anyways.

DON'T FUCKING POST LOCATIONS ONLINE. Vandals, arsonists, and scrapers are real. Don't help them.

>Dat fleet of AnPost vans

Whereabouts in Ireland is this?

>>615

tralee bah

why do niggers ruin everything with their graffiti?

>>713

One learns to appreciate the vast mixture of eye candy all mushed together when exploring.

To me, a mixture of nature, abandoned/aged structures, destruction and graffiti all blended in one location is the sort of brilliance I want to explore.

Graffiti is purely subjective when it comes to these treasures. I think it adds more than subtracts, from the experience.

Like a last-minute attempt at human culture trying to take something back before it's truly handed back to nature and doom.

>>716

this thread is wonderful. thank you for sharing!

>arrested

is copper really that valuable? there is also another thread dedicated just to that

if they care about their copper so much, they should have salvaged it themselves before leaving the building

>>275

I think what you're missing here is that there's a clear difference between getting caught inside a location on a property you don't have right of entry to, and scouting for filming locations.

Most professionals that scout for film locations usually have permission to actually be on that property.

Additionally, anyone can print business cards these days. There's 0% credibility in stating you have a business card.

It's better to simply not lie in such situations, and not put on a fake character just to seem more credible.

Just state you were taking photos for fun. A bit of patience and honesty can go a long way.

>>712

I think it's mostly just that places stay abandoned for ages, but someone still technically has at least some right of ownership to that property.

It's as simple as wanting to sting someone for theft really, just because they can.

>>717

Do whatever works for you I guess. I have been doing the location scout thing for literally decades now.. (yeah, I'm old) and it has worked wonderfully. Not exactly a 'lie' I just don't shop my locations around. If I get questioned or 'caught' (as you put it) I pull my reasons out and usually manage to secure permission to continue photographing... although I admit I focus on different details that I would if I am under observation from an agent of the property than I would if I am alone.

Thanks for posting all these, looks like a great place!

This furniture is nuts. Was it squatters or something?

>>591

>that hole

Tunnels are so fucking cool

i don't understand. do people just trash their entire house before leaving or were communists really that fucking dirty?

>>580

What's the log book have in it? I love finding stuff like this, it's almost like a snapshot of the time period.

>>593

>This furniture is nuts. Was it squatters or something?

Maybe just some dudes smoking pot there, or probably workers before they left made it.

>>721

I forgot, but I think it's shift log.

There were many older magazines and some papers from 90's considering contracts and financial stuff.

ive had a rather large police chase before after I decided to run
