I appreciate your comment. If you are going to get involved with urbex be sure safety is your top priority. Also google American Urbex.

Awesome, from the UK's UrbEx community.

I've been Urbexing for 20 years and I didn't even know there was a name for it! I've always had a connection with abandon buildings, theme parks, etc. I'd love to meet someone in my area to explore with.

@titanastic Thanks for your well tempered and valid comment.

A responsible urbexer should do adequate research on a location and take proper safety measures before visiting a location. A responsible urbexer should also not commit theft.

@kenfagerdotcom Fair enough point, many people don't like any destruction aspect.

But lets be clear, Urbex as a whole is not harmless either. It causes costs such as setting off alarms, security call outs, wasting police time. Plus Urbexers also tackle things like climbing cranes, or exploring drains which can cause accidents, shutdowns, and safety issues. And people associated with urbex have also been known to take things from buildings.

I still disapprove of vandalism at urbex locations in any capacity.

After reviewing the forum, I still disapprove of vandalism at urbex locations in any capacity.
