Abandoned places in Municipalité of L'île-Du-Grand-Calumet, QC, Canada

Introduction

TheAlarmGuy  •  2 weeks ago

Hello, I am The Alarm Guy, I'm from BC and am an amateur explorer. I used to be pretty active during the pandemic but not so much any more. I am a big security system enthusiast and tinker with different systems in my spare time. If anyone wants information on security systems, I am more than happy to provide information, what you do with that information is not my concern, but I will provide information solely for the purpose of helping people make informed decisions on exploring places. Anyways being new to this community, I am excited to see what others have posted! Cheers.

New to OAP, not new to Urbex

Laurie  •  2 weeks ago

Hey! I just round OAP and joined a few days ago. I've been doing this urbex thing for a while and didn't know there was a community. So great to be here. there are lots of helpful tips and some rules that I hope I am following (very excited to post my recent find!) Two questions: how can I change my user name and where can I find the Discord for this group? thx!

want to find locations?

DAExplores  •  1 month ago

then dont ask in the forum. those forum posts/comments are boring and don't contribute anything. use your eyes, the website (there are more locations here than you can see. contribute a bit and learn about location levels) and please consider going outside. i will be deleting any of those threads asking for locations made after this one. ill add more in the comments should the need arise. feel free to give some tips on how to find locations in the replies here if you want to, just so this thread doesnt feel entirely pointless, but please do not ask for recommendations or anything for your/a specific region.

Requesting for Level 2

YoteK  •  3 days ago

Well, here we go, another guy applying for a Level 2 promotion. My personal goal, regardless of promotion, is to continue going on adventures to access more remote locations, and in terms of OAP, to fill in some of the empty space that currently blankets Northern Ontario. I do my best to take clear, coherent photos that give some sense of a place, even if they aren’t necessarily exceptional from an artistic standpoint. (In fairness note that I broke one album into two to keep it manageable for a location that had two large, distinct parts, but for the purposes of election count it as 28, not 29 albums). If you look through my galleries and locations, you’ll note that I emphasize the “Exploration” much more than the “Urban” in my urbex endeavours. To be honest: you won’t likely see a lot of albums from me that involve dodging active security guards, alarm systems and cameras or the like (though maybe the occasional game camera). What I do offer is those more forlorn, lost in the wild locations. Places off the beaten path, across ruined roads or through the brush. Old mines, bases, railway stops and homesteads. Is it 50kms down some unmaintained road in the middle of nowhere? Perfect. Thanks for your consideration guys!

Requesting for Level 2

Forest_Wanderer  •  4 days ago

I believe I more than meet the requirements for Level 2: I have found **six new locations**, one of which is particularly high-profile (Level 4). As well, I have submitted **more than ten albums with interiors**, many of which are Level 2 and 3 with three Level 4's. I don't vandalize the sites, and I do my best to write a detailed description based on the information I can find. While I'm capable of finding new locations (or rediscovering ones that people have already found), I'd like Level 2 access because I prefer to know what kind of hazards I'm dealing with ahead of time. Furthermore, I want to take photos from angles that few people have done - I'm a decent climber and have gotten rooftop pics for some locations that didn't have them. Finally, these climbing skills have helped me obtain interior photos for locations in which the POE's were blocked off. Thanks for reading this! Also something I learned: some albums are earned with blood, sweat, and bruises.

Requesting for Level 2

nurbexo  •  2 weeks ago

Hey to everybody on this site, I'm currently a level one user hoping to achieve level two. In the requirements to attain level two, it says that one must contribute to 10 albums and find 3 new locations of any level. While I have only contributed to 6 albums, I have found and contibuted to 6 additional locations. I recall seeing another user with a similar predicament be accepted, so I thought I'd give this a shot. On another note, I don't give out locations, nor would I ever dream of vandalizing a place. I try my best to put detailed writing in all of my posts concerning the history, location description and risks involved in exploring said location. In the attainment of level two I would be able to contibute to more places in the Tri-City Region (Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambrige), Guelph and adjacent towns and counties. My only mean of travel is by bike, so I am limited in terms of distance, though I keep going further and try my best. I appreciate any and all consideration of this request, and I'd also appreciate any feedback concerning anything in relation to this application or the content I put out. -nurbexo

Requesting for Level 2

Imperia  •  2 weeks ago

Hello guys how you doing? its Imperia and i think i should finally be promoted to level 2. first off, i have 4 lvl 1s, 9 lvl 2s, 1 lvl 3 and 1 lvl 4. i have a lot more locations i am going to visit and post, heck i even have a whole page full of it for a total of 35+ as of now. I usually post in and around mississauga. i explore with my bike solo and love biking down to these places, its like a whole new world especially in the rural areas. i am pretty active on this site and love posting my finds, or just some photos if i can't get in. i will be more active this winter because there is no plants and bugs (my 2 worst enemies while i explore) and i will be able to post more interior photos as well. in conclusion, if i get level 2 i will be able to post more albums which will help out the site and help me post more quality albums.

Requesting for Level 2

Francisco J.  •  1 month ago

Hey everybody, I'm JJ and my level 2 election time has come. I am an eager and avid explorer from Kawartha Lakes Ontario, and I currently find most of my locations through google maps. I have been interested in abandoned locations since I was much younger, but only started properely exploring around 3 months ago. I always do my best to preserve a historical place and to write an accurate and detailed description when it comes time to post it. Through the past three months, I have made contributions to 2 existing level one locations as well as creating 6 level ones, 2 level twos, and 2 level threes. I will be relocating to Hamilton Ontario next year and I am looking forward to exploring larger urban locations. As a level 2 user, I will continue to post new detailed locations, I will try my best to provide meaningful contributions to other locations, and I will chase the thrills of urban exploration (but hopefully not be chased.)
