ExploreUndercover is a movement that promotes the ethical practice of Urban Exploring. We encourage individuals to explore abandoned or restricted locations in a responsible and respectful manner. We believe that Urban Exploring is best done “undercover”, or without attracting too much attention from the public or the heat. Exploring “undercover” also means that we are taking the necessary steps to be practically invisible and Leave No Trace.

The ExploreUndercover Beacon Ethos were created to guide and educate new and veteran explorers alike on how to approach Urban Exploring in a responsible and ethical way. These ethics help ensure that explorers have a positive impact on the locations they visit, while minimizing any potential harm or negative consequences for the location, themselves, or others.

By following the ExploreUndercover Beacon Ethos, explorers can help contribute to the preservation of abandoned or restricted locations and their history, while also helping to maintain the integrity of the Urban Exploring community as a whole. Additionally, by practicing ethical Urban Exploring, individuals can help reduce the negative perception of Urban Exploring by the general public, and increase the acceptance of this activity as a legitimate and respectful.
