Interview with American explorer from Florida - Dee. We talked about why being an “asshole” might be a good idea for urbexing, and on the other hand, why claiming barb-wire fences is a bad one. Dee describes numerous stories and shares why he tries to avoid security dogs at all costs. We talked “American urbex-drama”, graffiti on Buran, roof-topping, exploring abandoned prisons, being stuck inside abandoned theatre and many many more.
