Parking

ichiii  •  10 months ago

This is more for locations in the middle of no where but What do you guys do about parking when going to sites? I can never find parking nearby and for 2 instances i had to park at the site and it was very sketch cuz of neighbors. It was either that or a 30 mins walk so i said fuck it 😭

VHF Handheld Radio

Face_Tinnitus  •  11 months ago

I saw this posted in the UER form, and thought I would give it a try. Did a low risk exploration of an abandoned jail followed up by a military base to try out using radios. The buildings at both sites are quite large and easy to get lost in and also have sections that are falling in, I found that the radios were quite useful with staying in touch and for meeting back up. But would probably not be used in an area with risk of being caught, so I was wondering what the community's thoughts on the use of radio's might be, would it be better to just use mobile phones (assuming that there is signal) or nothing, or if exploring with one other person to just stay close? Also does anyone even use radio’s and in what situations are they more of an asset then a liability?

Upload a location

Westender  •  1 year ago

Probably a dumb question, but after having an account for a year I have a location to upload. I recall there had been an option to submit a new location with options to select the kind of ruins it was (farmhouse, foundations, etc) and dangers (neighbours, sharp objects, insects, etc) but all I can see for now is an album upload where the only information fields is a title, date and description box, didn't see a spot to attach pictures. Didn't want to "save" the upload before going any further, but is this the way to upload new locations from now on?

Do you prefer to explore during the Summer or Winter?

dissatisfaction  •  1 year ago

Both have their perks for identifying bandos, such as overgrown plants in the summer or stagnant snow in the winter. Or the downsides.. like ticks and hazardous plants in the summer, or having to cross knee deep snow in the winter. Personally, I've explored more during the winter so maybe that's why I prefer the latter. It's reassuring knowing there haven't been any footsteps around the area for days, or even weeks. But I will say that wet shoes from the snow are annoying, so bringing something waterproof is recommended

Already existing locations you cant see

Orellana  •  1 year ago

I'm working on earning my level 2, so I've been working on finding a bunch of new locations, and it just got me wondering, what if someone has already posted a location but it's at a level i cant see, is there just a decent chance that there are duplicate locations out there? Or is there a mechanism stopping people from posting duplicate locations? I've been getting server errors on my latest discovery so i'm wondering if that's what's going on or if there's just an outage or something.

Behnke off Hwy 63 ( Trout Lake Road)

Noodles25  •  1 year ago

There is apparently an abandoned town called/in Behnke, Ontario.  If travelling along Hwy 63 (Trout Lake Road) heading towards Quebec from North Bay, just pass Hwy 533, there is a green sign that says Behnke 26(?) khms  The story goes that this use to be a booming  town but some “tragic“ event occurred and the entire town moved away.    The road into Behnke looks like a cow path but we are going to head in there next Sunday with our ATVs.  Does anyone know anything about Behnke, the history etc?

What's in your gear bag?

Face_Tinnitus  •  1 year ago

So ya, what's in your gear bag, or stuff that you always take with you? I try to keep my bag sort of set up for different areas. An example would be Bear Spray, if the location is remote and includes a hike, I'll bring the spray and leave the tripod behind. If the location is more urban then the spray stays home and the tripod comes out.  Just looking for ideas and if I 'am missing something important Cheers
