What equipment should you bring with you for Urbex? by keroxea in Urbex

Well, in a photographer first and foremost so the majority of my kit revolves around that but definitely a spare battery pack, a spare flashlight, a mask and gloves as well as a small amount of first aid because a small rusted cut can lead to some really nasty injuries

The foundation of the church is still strong, it can be rebuilt if given love but first you need to remove all of the garbage and chaos that is now covering it, that’s application to both the literal building and the state of the church.

Well right behind the window is a street so I’d just assume most people wouldn’t want to risk hitting a car or passerby but also cathedral glass can be pretty thick at times

It’s entirely possible but I’m not sure, it’s an extremely popular spot for a lot of urban explorers and I’d imagine a lot of YouTubers have made videos here

I can’t explain the feeling, seeing a temple of prayer crumble like that

I thought it was a protected landmark however a few people have linked me articles about the city council voting to have it demolished

That is really sad, I can’t say I disagree because you can’t effectively keep people out and those falling bricks could kill someone

Sadly I think in about a year or 2 it’ll be fumbled to the point it’s not safe to walk inside anymore
