How do I find friends that go PrepHole and are willing to share abandoned spots with me? Or is there some hidden urbex forums or groups anywhere on the internet? I have plenty of my own spots I've found just from being PrepHole but I want to check out more places. Not looking for people to mooch off of, I just want to trade locations or find friends to explore with. Also general urbex and cool things found while PrepHole thread
I'm in Oklahoma if any of you anons are interested
>pic related, cool bridge I found a few weeks ago
I was also wondering about this. I love urbex youtube-- the best seems to be in eastern europe where there's tons of abandoned soviet shit, but not much security.
This is a known spot, now a park. An abandoned stone crusher.
All I know is never climb stairs you find in the woods anon
Just drag unrelated friends in.
Most men are up to check out some weird shit, and a surprising amount of women are too
Most normies aren't up to get busted or shot for trespassing which in the US is a definite possibility. Americans are greedy israelites for land and won't abide anyone on it. In fact, most landowners who own guns would be thrilled at the prospect of committing legally justifiable murder.
Most abandoned buildings don't have ghillie snipers in the bushes dude.
It's easier to get killed than you think. Farmer John isn't getting charged for murder if a.) it's justifiable homicide against a trespasser (ie castle doctrine), b.) He's in the same klan as the local pigs, or iii.) there's no body to be found.
In urban areas, druggies and Black folk will frick you up just as easily.
Is it likely? Maybe not, but it's enough of a risk that normies won't do it.
there's no shoot to kill for simply trespassing...the property owner would need to prove they felt immediate fear for their life.
>I told 'em to leave and they ain't do it
Sheriff leaves and calls it a closed case
You must be a pretty innocent, law-abiding citizen if you think people won't hurt you just because they can. I'm sure you watch the news.
The law only applies insofar as the police, DA, judge, and jury decide to prosecute and convict. There are plenty of steps in the justice process that would allow a person to get away with killing you.
If there's no evidence and no witnesses, there is no crime. If I was Farmer John and some c**t came walking into my abandoned buildings that I didn't like the look of, I'd shoot him dead and bury him on the spot. It's just easier that way. No one would ever know.
Likewise, if I was a crackhead and some rich white boy comes breaking into my abandoned shithole, I'd take beat his shit in and rape him just for fun.
While these factors may be valid, what I said is still the law in like 99 percent of jurisdictions. Most even go further with an affirmative duty to retreat.
If you get fricking killed, it's utterly irrelevant that the guy who killed you did so illegally. The law doesn't matter. You're still dead.
My overall point, is that there is enough risk - risk you can't reasonably negate - that most people will not into urbex. If you go skydiving or cave diving, or backcountry snowboarding, or any other number of extreme sports, you can account for the danger with equipment or skill. If I go skydiving, I can reasonably be sure that I'm going to fall 10,000 feet out of a plane, and I plan for that by taking a parachute, or a backup parachute.
If you go urbexing, who knows what you'll find. You could fall through a floor, the place could collapse, you could run into fricking wendigos or crackheads or armed hillbillies. In the latter two cases, as you've explained, there is no conceivable scenario where you could legally claim self-defense if you killed someone attacking you while trespassing.
>If you go urbexing, who knows what you'll find. You could fall through a floor, the place could collapse, you could run into fricking wendigos or crackheads or armed hillbillies.
Adventure!
that's no joke one of my best friends died falling through a rotting deck urbexing last year. it was the antibiotics that killed him though not the fall itself. never let your friends take ciprofloxacin. killed that friend, and left another wheelchair bound for life.
Oh I agree with you 100 percent I'm just trying to dispell moronic yuroo myths about crazy American laws
Never go to a movie theater, someone might get bored and smash a rock across the back of your head.
I shot a guy one time for trespassing. Didn't kill him but damn close. Basicly a drunk hunter was trespassing and hunting on my property. Dude shot and it hit my house. Jumped on my atv and found the dude. He shot at my atv so I shot back. Put one in his lower chest. Didn't get charged but god damn it took an act of god to get that gun back from the sbi. They even kept the rounds.
The US is full of cravens, so the killer would have no trouble proving he was about to piss himself.
Frick, imagine going out and having to worry about being shot.
Farmer john doesn't own a fricking abandoned school on government land, dumbass. Most abandoned property is owned by corporations which are more worried about you falling through a third story floor and suing them. Pro tip- if you're worried about farmers shooting you then don't go on farms.
I know you've never been PrepHole in your life, but if you had, you'd know that private rural landowners have plenty of cool shit on their property worth exploring. Old mines, furnaces, mills, and other cool shit.
I've been to more ruins than you've had blowjobs, homosexual.
your life doesn't count
anon's post applies to my locality. one of the more well known local ghost towns i got chased off by people on atv's working for the private owner a few times before i finally had a day with it. some moron died falling the well and the family sued him. they didn't seem hostile, just demanded money and wanted to check my bag for climbing gear understandably. i assume anyone pulling up to randos on an atv is armed though. i thought it was just crackheads hassling me until they actually showed proof after a few times getting 'caught.'
was it a movie theatre or high school that those kids urbexing gary indiana found a gang's corpse dump site in? i forgot lol.
was it movie theater or urbex site where some schizoid killed 12 people and injured 70 others?
A private land owner with enough capital to hire goons is functionally the same as a corporation, and seeing as their reasoning is "someone fell in a pit and they got sued" my point still stands. Note how they didn't fricking execute you on the spot and then dump your body in the corpse pit.
The buildings themselves can be a hazard too. Fricked my leg up the other day by falling through a staircase.
It isn't that easy to shoot someone for trespassing, you'd get charged with murder. People saying otherwise are larpers.
its less about what the law actually is and more about whatever conception of it is in the guy's mind who draws the gun on you. if you get shot who cares if he goes to jail for it or not. most people don't really know how castle doctrine, self defense, etc actually work. still makes them more likely to shoot you regardless, if they know their area has those laws.
i think the risk is over-blown though. most of the time once they know you're just there to urbex. i always just say something like "just here for urbex, won't post any pictures online, i'll leave right now whats the fastest way out?" they usually want you to leave but most of the time if you're not a twat they won't even tresspass you. they ultimately don't give a shit you're urbexing, for most property owners the concern is that you'll get injured on their property and your family will sue them.
also you'll always get charged with murder in self defense or castle doctrine situations. they're legal defenses not get out of jail free cards. you get arrested and charged and then your lawyer has to invoke those as a defense. my self defense experience involved 3yrs of trial (mostly delays) and facing 25 minimum the whole time until it all got dropped.
>also you'll always get charged with murder in self defense
Why do europeans always make such dumbass comments on american self defense laws?

I can do this literally for hours. Stop talking shit.
>Why do europeans always make such dumbass comments on american self defense laws?
I'm not read my post I'm American and I had to defend myself and go through court for it. The two things that typically happen is you either don't get charged with anything at all in the first place (like your example) or you get charged with murder/manslaughter/aggravated assault/etc and have to invoke self defense. When situations like your example happen, and they are common, its a combination of there being no mandatory arrest laws involved with the situation and the DA making the decision that they either don't wish to charge the person like situations where they're clearly in the right, or the DA doesn't believe charges would stick in trial, or the DA doesn't think they could successfully get a plea.
Someone's home, their own bedroom and what not, sounds exactly the same as a rotting, industrial plant or a patch of woods with no houses anywhere near by.
Then don't trespass. You are checking out abandoned shit, right? There shouldn't be anyone living where you plan on exploring.
In my experience, both my normie friends and non-normie friends are all hype for urban ex. We're talking those I kickbox with, childhood friends, girls I'm chatting up, and friends weeby enough to shoot the shit about visual novels.
Just ask.
But crime is fun.
>Or is there some hidden urbex forums or groups anywhere on the internet?
mostly social media like facebook and ig and just talking to other local people who urbex. if they get to know you a little bit and know you're not a fricktard who will get spots closed down people tend to be nice about sharing.
any spots that get shared on forums tend to get closed down.
if you know a good spot don't post it online.
don't share pictures of the spot on social media especially if the location is identifiable.
if you find a spot online that still exists, respect it and leave it how it was when you came.
i find most of my spots with satellite images but i can't tl;dr you on how to do that, its a spidey sense you pick up on after years doing it. just look for cool shit drive there and expect a high failure rate don't get discouraged.
some of these points might be buttholeish. but you need to follow them for good reason. i've been urbexing 20 years and the last 15 years since the internet era i would say easily 75% of the cool locations in washington have been demolished, made inaccessible, or simply got ransacked by morons from the internet.
in my experience, at least locally property owners and cops are really chill if you clearly look like an urbexer and most importantly: have a big ass DSLR with lenses in hand when they catch you. even if you're like me and don't share photos of ANYTHING its well worth the cost of buying one and the hassle of carrying one for one simple reason: it immediately tells the people who catch you why you're there and signals you mean no harm and you're not a tweaker/criminal/etc. i've also found having camera gear makes most homeless give a lot less of a shit if you're trawling through their turf for the same reason, they know without needing to say a word why you're there.
it is definitely a risk though. i've had many guns drawn on me many times but only once actually thought the guy might shoot me.
>i find most of my spots with satellite images but i can't tl;dr you on how to do that
A few tips for sat searchers in rustic areas:
1.Start by looking at less developed roads, chances are if there is a road or trail out of the way it leads to something.
2.Geographical markers (like man made clearings or lakes) can point to houses.
3.If you find a structure, check up on it's location to ensure it isn't inhabited.
do you not have friends? i mean i dont have friends so thats why i do everything alone. but if you have friends then bring them
Not really tbh. Most either moved out of state for college or are strung out on drugs. I have a gf that's down to go to most places but she doesn't find any spots on her own so it's still just me hunting for cool shit
It's not quite that black and white. You can definitely get shot out here and most DA's won't press the issue if you were already committing a crime, especially in small towns where everyone knows each other. That being said the spots I'm interesting in going shouldn't have anyone around to shoot at me.
>It's not quite that black and white
this
still, most ppl (99%+) arent going to shoot someone for tresspassing alone. however, if you are cooking meth or raping some b***h or something like that you sure as shit *will* get your ass shot. hell, id shoot someone for doing any of that degenerate shit on my property
hey wanna hang out and risk getting arrested for trespassing, injured by crumbling infrastructure, or shanked by a homeless drug addict?
rip halal miss you bro
This thread is boring with the Americans going about "What if I get shot..." shit. Can someone post actual urbex?
posted before on board but heres the best hobo setup ive ever seen, taken while kayaking up an industrial canal in californya
drat pic didnt go through caus of an old ban
another mystery machine in a former dairy, maybe a pasteurizer? anyway its a bee colony now
a mystery machine found in an abandoned orchard farmstead in some mountains
Thats what the stalker threads are for.
>Oklahoma
If you can get on Fort Sill like half the buildings are abandoned since the post has been downsizing. I lived there as a teen in the late 2000s- early 2010s and holy shit I did so much urbex.
If you go by where the interstate crosses over the Medicine creek you can walk down to the creek and basically be on post, locals would do that a lot to go fishing in the creek. Theres a lot of abandoned mil shit back there including some abandoned horse drawn artillery caissons and some abandoned and overgrown buildings from the 1800s. If you can go on the main post up by the historic district adjacent to the aforementioned woods, theres an abandoned hospital building (The same hospital where Geronimo died) the inside is basically been unchanged since they closed it in like the 60's. I've gone inside once with some friends it's some real Resident Evil type shit.
Feel free to ask if you have questions, I basically have 100% map exploration of the area.
Looking from google earth it seems like a lot of this has been torn down maybe? I could just be in the wrong area though. When was the last time you were out there? I might make a trip if I'm ever in that area. Know anywhere closer to Tulsa that's interesting?
The two people I met irl from PrepHole ended up being very cool so lets go for a third
If anyone in the socal area wants to do some urbex type things with a stranger, add me at Hal#8267
I'm 20m, and have enough common sense to at least qualifty me as cognizant
The point is its the DA's discretion, if no mandatory arrest laws are triggered. There's no magical get out of jail free card, its the DA weighing your chances of succeeding at invoking self defense as a legal defense if it hypothetically went to trial. Don't take legal advice on the internet either way go ask a lawyer.
If OP is still here, where's that bridge at? I'm an okie-gay in desperate need of places to explore
Oologah lake area, if you're from around Tulsa drop a way to contact you and I can tell you a few cool places
Damn, I'm nearly 200 miles south of it. Eh, I guess its a fine roadtrip idea atleast. Thanks anon
