Get ready for an action-packed episode of the Chasing Bandos Urbex Podcast, featuring the incredible stories and insights of our guest, Dave dnf.n. As a seasoned explorer, Dave takes us on a thrilling journey through his UrbEx adventures and shares some valuable lessons along the way.


From a young age, Dave's fascination with exploring was ignited by living near an abandoned hospital. For him, it was all about the thrill of adventure and finding a way into these intriguing spaces, without worrying about the legal implications.


Dave prides himself on being an authentic explorer, avoiding popular Instagram spots and instead seeking out hidden gems that few have ever seen. He emphasizes the importance of true exploration, relying on his instincts rather than relying on maps or prior information about a location.


One of Dave's specialties is exploring power plants, making him a prolific figure on social media. He highlights the unique and unseen aspects of these industrial sites, noting that they are rarely accessible to the general public unless you work there.


During our conversation, Dave opens up about the arguments within the UrbEx community and how he has grown personally, moving past the petty disputes and focusing on his own journey. He encourages others to do the same, reminding us all that exploration is a personal endeavor and should be enjoyed without unnecessary drama.


We also touch on the topic of acceptable methods to gain access to buildings and the importance of being mindful of what we share on social media. Dave discusses the concept of risk versus reward and the need to strike a balance between sharing our experiences and protecting the integrity of the locations we explore.


In addition to Dave's own adventures, we dive into a range of topics, including his court case for trespassing, the love of exploring with the legendary Bill Finan, and an unforgettable incident involving a dead body in an abandoned home.


Throughout the episode, Dave's passion for UrbEx shines through, and he leaves us with valuable insights and thrilling tales that will leave you wanting more. Join us as we embark on this captivating journey with Dave, the bro who knows a spot.
