Prepare well for an urban exploration

Here is a guide on how to prepare for safe urban exploration (Urbex):

1. **Preliminary Research**: Before you go exploring, do thorough research on the places you plan to visit. Find out about the history of the site, its current condition, potential dangers and the safety rules to follow.

2. **Appropriate equipment**: Make sure you have the right equipment for your exploration. This may include comfortable, sturdy clothing, sturdy walking shoes, a powerful flashlight, protective gloves, a first aid kit, and possibly a respirator mask in case dust or potentially toxic substances are present.

3. **Logistics planning**: Plan your route in advance and let someone know your plan, including where you will explore and what time you expect to return. Make sure you have enough fuel in your vehicle if you are traveling to a remote location, and pack water and food for a day of exploring.

4. **Personal safety**: Before leaving, make sure you are in good health and physical condition for the exploration. Avoid going alone if possible, but if you do, be sure to tell someone your route and expected return time. Keep your cell phone charged and with you at all times, in case you need to contact help in an emergency.

5. **Respect for rules and places**: Respect safety rules and local laws during your exploration. Never enter private property without permission or force doors or windows to gain access to abandoned buildings. Respect the places you visit by avoiding disturbing or vandalizing property, and do not leave behind any trace of your visit.

By following these tips and remaining vigilant throughout your exploration, you will be able to fully enjoy the Urbex experience while ensuring your safety and preserving respect for the places you visit.
