Quarry Man Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 i wan to start exploring abandoned buildings both legally and safely. What should i bring/ wear, i was thinking of getting a hazmat suit. Any other advice?
Super User Gundog Posted January 29, 2018 Super User Posted January 29, 2018 I know in my area there are a lot of abandoned buildings but they aren't safe to be in. My first suggestion would be to do you searches carefully with accurate info on the condition of the building. Here we just this fall had an old brewery fall partially down on its own. Stay safe. 1
Super User Choporoz Posted January 29, 2018 Super User Posted January 29, 2018 I haven't done it, but did look into it a while back. There's groups dedicated to that around here....and in most cities, I'd imagine. Check meetup.com...and google urban exploration for your area 1
Super User Darren. Posted January 29, 2018 Super User Posted January 29, 2018 Back in the day I liked to explore very old, abandoned farm houses, including one that was probably ready at any moment to collapse. Ah the dumb things I did as a lad... But advice above is good, find others, and be safe! Now someone should organize a BR trip to Chernobyl! We could hire Jeremy Wade as our day-time guide and fish during the day, then have the Ghost Hunters team guide us for night time building exploration, LOL. 3
Super User N Florida Mike Posted January 29, 2018 Super User Posted January 29, 2018 I was on a hike way back in the NC mountains and came to an old house at the "head of the holler " I didn't go in but wanted to. Looked like the perfect set for one of those backwoods horror movies .It looked like a little breeze would finish it off. Got pics on an old phone. If I can I'll post it later. Be safe out there. 1

Super User NYWayfarer Posted January 30, 2018 Super User Posted January 30, 2018 Glad I am not the only one that thinks this isn't a good idea. 2
Super User TOXIC Posted January 30, 2018 Super User Posted January 30, 2018 My job has regularly taken me to hundreds of "abandoned" buildings, houses, farms, etc. Just because it's abandoned doesn't mean it's fair game. Get yourself seriously injured or god forbid killed in one and the lawsuits will be flying. If there are "caretakers" there and they didn't have you sign a release, then they are just as responsible if something happens to you while on the premisis. Who puts a caretaker at an abandoned building anyway? Nonetheless someone owns that property and unless you have been granted permission, you are trespassing. You want to look for relics be like Frank and Mike on American Pickers. Do not sneak into abandoned buildings without consent. 3
