Ontario Abandoned Places will be rebranded as Ominous Abandoned Places

I just don't want to die, and while doing that, have some solo fun!

So, knowing myself, i should take precautions and think BEFORE i go out and get killed.

I'll get the precise information on them, but lack the general list of stuff that saved your ass, such as:

  • When to wear a mask/bring an air gauge, when exploring tunnels? Thinking water drains at the moment, think it's safe, but later?
  • What location types (military, energy production, ?) are most likely to get me arrested?
  • Does wearing a facemask help? What's the best defense; does "huh, didn't know, sorry!" work sometimes?
  • I saw some doing drone reconnaissance before going, doesn't that get you undesired attention?

Also...

  • What can be googled (ideas?): I think municipal sewer/drain maps; abandoned building filings at city halls (?); local bankrupcy/mergers/acquisitions notices, electric network [historical?] maps to spot isolated sites in the woods?
  • Should I keep new construction sites out of bounds, as they are likely to get me arrested?

Yeah, so after I get my feet wet and post something, I'll tell you how that went. Cheers!

OK, re-reading me, I sound overly dramatic. I was thinking of testing sewage water before entering a pipe in winter (my current idea); understanding drainage flows; pipe diameters... basically, how not to find myself wallowing in freezing water after walking an hour in a pipe... so I scared myself. Sorry. Funny how when I thought of getting arrested it occupied all my keyboard (and thoughts). I guess I just don't want to get arrested either, and while doing that have fun?

ok so it kind of depends on your age i think because i pulled the huh, didn't know, sorry! thing multiple times. and it got me out but i cant get caught again. im 14 but some people say i look like im 20. an entire facemask? if you need an entire face mask to go somewhere than be careful, if the construction site has cameras and if you really want to go than go at night/dark (the only ''construction site'' ive been to is a mansion about to get demolished.) but yes they are more risky because if there is damage/vandalism you will likely be the first to get blamed. drone flying before exploring? that would get you attention in an urban setting, but i explore more rural so i don;t think anyone would care except the owner. anyway these are the the only things i feel i can answer so hope this helps!
