The act of trespassing on condemned or otherwise dangerous buildings or areas. Urban explorers don't usually have a malicious motive as they are only trying to explore the unknown.
Most urban exploration is recorded on video, but only exciting or dangerous encounters are uploaded to YouTube. Many examples of urban exploration gone wrong can be found on YouTube. These types of videos are often showcased by channels that review these videos. Good examples of these showcasing channels are Chills, Nuke's Top 5, Slapped Ham, etc.
Urban exploring is illegal and potentially dangerous. Before trekking out, research the area you wish to explore. Beware of the dangers such as homeless people, environmental hazards, supernatural entities, mysterious creatures, cults/crazy people, etc. Be sure to bring water, warm clothes, flashlights and batteries, a camera, a self-defense weapon, and most importantly, several friends. NEVER GO ANYWHERE ALONE. Make sure you don't go so far that you can't remember the way back. If you hear a strange noise, don't investigate it. If you hear a demonic scream, follow your instincts and run. If something starts chasing you, run. If you see something running from you, don't follow it. If something feels off, then leave. Follow your gut, and don't try anything stupid.

I've always wondered what's inside that abandoned factory. Are you down for some urban exploration? The answers we seek are just beyond our grasp.

Get the Urban Exploration mug.1. misued
2. abused
3. purpose reduced
4. modern manifestation of human immaturity (sadly)
5. initially a great invention; currently a cause for ill intention
6. not a diary or a place for confessionals, however ridiculously slow people tend to think its a perfect location for rants and raves
8. seemingly a popular place for happily exercising and breeding Potty Mouth Syndrome (PMS)
9. brilliant place for ball-less bullies to target their victims.
10. lots more but cant be bothered right now. We have better things to do with our time than to read idiotic definitions which are 95% untrue and write one which actually is (this one duh)

You gotta feel sorry for the inventors of Urban Dictionary. Their intentions were great but clowns will always be clowns. A great place to play immature anonymously. A perfect local hangout joint for cowards to party and light houses on fire. What is the world coming to?

Get the urban dictionary mug.The strange phenomenon of erotic / erotically tinted words found almost always in the linked words block above almost every definition on Urban Dictionary.
Dude, I was just looking up Dick Cheney on UD, and I saw the word ''penis'' in the linked words section above the first definition.

Get the Urban Dictionary mug.Like hiking, but in other people's buildings. Most urban adventures take place in derelict buildings, but also includes any location you can access without forcing entry.
Remember a joint and a camera to celebrate reaching the summit of your local really tall building.
Probably started by students living in halls in really big old universities who liked to explore all the tunnels and hatchs. Has even been featured on shows like Buffy and X-Files, firmly locating it in the "not cool, but fun" section of modern culture.

When urban exploring you should carry ID and consider if you have any suspicious articles on you, even a penknife can constitute a weapon if you manage to really make a dick out of yourself.
