New user with tier 4 location

KeyHb  •  3 weeks ago

Hey, I have a tier 4 location that I went to a bunch of times. I'm afraid that posting it as a level 1 account will compromise the space. What should I do? PSA: the location is an abandoned office with a chemistry lab, incredibly intact, chemical equipment is still there.

Question on getting caught

romxn  •  1 month ago

Hi everyone, I almost have enough confidence to finally urban explore after watching it on youtube for 2 years, but I have one question about if I get caught. Assuming I am caught by police and not a property owner, does the consequence I face fully depend on the officer? I know i can mitigate the potential consequences by not carrying anything that would suggest me doing worse activities like weapons etc. Is it just a gamble essentially if I get a warning or a charge? On a side note, i was thinking to explore the Anaconda Brass in etobicoke, would this be an okay beginner spot?

Toronto Exploring

Dre  •  2 months ago

Hey I'm new here, but not new to exploring, taking risks that kind of thing. I'm from Brampton (now live in Kitchener) and am familiar with downtown Toronto, but not as much as I'd like to be. Does anyone here know some cool spots? One thing Id love to try is to get to Lower Bay station sometime

Medium experience solo looking for people to explore with

I am 18 years old and located in SK. SK is known to be one of if not the worst province when it comes to large abandonded buildings. I know of many abanonded farm yards and have explored one 25,000sq ft plus complex. I am looking for someone in SK that has some experience with exploring and knows of some of their own spots to explore with and show my spots to.

Re-applying for level 3, I understand I have not met the requirements last time but I think I do now, ill give a quick break down of my contributions: 70 interior locations 4 exterior locations 200 interior albums 4 exterior albums (you can see the levels of my locs on the side panel) I also got a proper camera with which I am still learning new things about how to use it, but overall my photos are a lot better now and over half of my albums are with that camera so no more blurry grainy shots. but yep thats pretty much it, not much else to say, i hope you consider my re-application, and btw if you want to read more about how I explore and how I started, then you can look at my denied application, I wrote a bunch of stuff there.

Approved

Being apart of the OAP community for the last 9 months has definitely been.. interesting to say the least xD I am a bit sad that most (basically all) of you live across the country so I haven't been able to meet up with anyone *yet*, but I have made some friendships over discord which is great! I've been exploring for as long as I can remember (really got more into it around 7 years ago), but was never really interested in the photography aspect of the hobby until joining the site and looking through old albums. I also lived my life with only thoughts and wonder of what a location could've been rather than spending hours trying to dig up history behind it. I reside 4hrs away from the closest major city, which is why most of my finds are old farm properties. I do have a long(ish) list of locations ranging from BC, AB & SK I am beyond excited to make trips for though:D Anyways, I look forward to the feedback and thanks for reading a sliver of my backstory & nightshift rambling lol.

I believe I should be upgraded to Level 2 in the OAP system because I have found five locations, most of them being Level 2, and I have visited 11 abandoned places. I have been urban exploring since last summer, gaining experience in finding and safely exploring these places. I understand the risks and challenges and always respect the locations I visit. With my effort and experience, I am ready for the next level.

Wow time flies. I am now applying for lvl 3. But first let me give a quick intro to how even started exploring. i found my first Bando on may 20 2022 and was speechless. I have never seen anything like it before. Why was the foundation made out of rocks? How old is this place? Is it a house or a church? How is it still standing? So many questions flooded my mind. I went everyday with my friends after school for a month or two after that and we finally found a way in. I was shocked it was in such good condition. I thought the floors would be all ripped apart and garbage all over the place. Nope, it was just an empty, dark ass 1860s farmhouse. We way too close to the front door and the alarm went off and we RAN. Once we left and got to the road we waited for someone to show up but no one did. Or so we thought. We went back and then someone pulled up. He did not see us so we just biked home as fast as we could. than almost a year later I did some digging on the house during class. Found out the house is 160 years old and was shocked. I then went on to flex to everyone I went to an abandoned house older than Canada itself. Some time around then I found the site (oap) and had no idea that people explore abandoned buildings as a hobby and I was instantley intrigued. I posted my first album (it was so ass I deleted it a long time ago) and was dissapointed to realize it wasn't my location. Anyway so I found other places locally and uploaded them and applied for lvl 2. Once I got it after a month of waiting I was like damn there's lots of other places still around me I had no idea existed. My photography id say has improved greatly since I started though my photo my quality hasn't long story short I crushed my 0.5x camera on my phone and now it has dent, hence why like half my photos and grainy and blurry af. My 1x shots are very good though id say. My low light window shots are my favourite to take. Now I am currently debating getting a proper low light photography camera ($800!?) or just fixing my phone camera ($150-$200). Now for my contributions. I usually visit and upload 1800s/eraly 1900s farmhouses. I have a stack of location (64) as of typing this and 129 albums. As of 1 month ago I have started uploading more quality albums. No more exteriors only. My albums have lots of photos and re-ordered in it's correct order. Though I will still ask you to please excuse my grainy 0.5x shots. My best album is probably the one with the Orangeville Brampton Railway. As I walked Almost the whole thing which was 50km and I took photos of my whole adventure. I will only be uploading quality albums for as long as this site is active. I haven't explored with anyone except my with my dad and one person on this site UnkownUbex? If you would want to explore with me than dm me on discord. Now I get around with bike/walk/public transit. Though usually with my bike. I love biking to spots as its a hella workout which reminds me you should be able to bike at least 40km. my current pr is 105km and **will** be broken soon. So that's all I have to say. I hope you consider my application and all feeback is appreciated. Now I will go back to sitting on my ass waiting for the rain to stop. Or I may go on a quick 40km Bike ride we'll see.
