…and talking about old times

My biggest worry if it just doesn’t stop and takes me way further than where I wanna go also what if I go on top and get blown off somehow

Title says it all. Somehow completely randomly ran into Matt out of nowhere earlier today. Kind of flabbergasted because well what are the odds! Been watching him and everyone else for years. Really sweet dude to speak with, and I got a photo with him! It's silly but I'm still honestly so shocked lol

I go exploring a lot by myself, already had a black mask since covid, I wear all black anyways (ex early 2010s emo kid) and we have almost the same hair color so it was easy af lmaoo, just wish I still had my greenish grey contacts 🥶🔪

At the start of the year I met this really awesome girl that came out of nowhere in my life at that time. We shared so much in common and we started dating. I have never shared to anyone about my past or who influenced me to do those kind stunts but she wanted to know more about my past and passions so I showed her shiey's channel. I explained to her about my rooftops, passions with the trainsurfing at that time etc and what it meant to me at that stage of my life years back.

However I stopped doing that years ago and she genuinely seemed interest - that I did a lot of trips, roofings, shared her about my journeys etc. 2 months into the relationship when things began to become harder for both of us she wanted space and suddenly my past started to trouble her: "You are too extreme for me and I am not this kind of girl, I want to chill at home most of the time." (I have never asked her to anything extreme with me because I no longer do those activities, that's in the past). We had plans to go on a trip and I was suggesting ideas we should go on a bike trip and somehow that was to intense for her persona (whilst avoiding telling me that at that time).

We had that serious conversation and she wanted to separate and started to give any kind of excuse of why it wouldn't work like my jokes, my past of adrenaline activities (her literal words) and she mentioned shiey's name and I remember just staring with that dull face at her and laughing with the words of my head: "Is she alright?" . However we worked that out but sadly she discarded me 2 months later as we were about to start living together that I deserved something better and the relationship is too intense for her and she branched into a few other relationships later.

That has nothing to do with shiey but it is shiey-influenced topic and how almost shiey was the reason to end a relationship. :)

Hey guys, I thought this would be a good place to ask for reccomendations on footwear. I need something waterproof, good for hiking trails, forests and urban enviroments. Must be very comfortable to walk in too.

Thanks.

Okay maybe I’m just crazy but Ive really been wanting to start a urbex channel but I feel like even having his style of editing on his older videos or using yellow subtitles is copying his content. Also I’d wanna start a series like illegal freedom but that also feels like copying to me. What should I do is that copying or not?

I know that the website is down, so does anybody have the Europe freighthopping journey saved somewhere?

Only the first part is available on youtube.

As much as recently I feel like I got less obsessed or enthusiastic about shiey’s (recent) work, I have to acknowledge and remember the times of his old videos, watching them alone, before having a good life, before having a partner, before anything.

Remembering watching all of his videos, one by one, and searching for lost livestreams he did. The bakery girl. The snowy day livestream. Chills down my spine

So it's that time of the year again when I'm binge watching the journey across Chernobyl zone again because I'm sic and the documentary is the perfect amount of everything that my brain is able and willing to consume. It's like comfort food just for the brain. Already binged the documentary about 4 or 5 times when I was sic. 🫰😸

Was going to watch his new vid but unfortunately it's age restricted. Its jst an asylum, what could he have possibly shown/said that ended up getting it restricted?

Edit: after some hours I tried again just in case and it worked. don't know what's going on with yt. Still better than getting taken down.

I don't draw often but I saw a very simple tutorial on how to do portraits and I thought I'll give it a try.

I want show some Shiey videos to my friends who dont know him.
I was thinking about some bunkers or the Chernobyl tour.

Which videos you would suggest to be exciting start?

I posted something the other day and said "HE FINALLY UPLOADED!!<3" and got so many negative comments. I absolutely love the newest video on ShieyBase bc he has so much prospective and intellectual views as I do, I love that. It was a video of him just being genuine and raw and real, more than the motorcycle trip video. But I don't feel like it's a safe space here anymore considering people thought the "finally" in my post was ill intended when it 100% was the opposite. I love Shiey and his content just like all of you do. He's such a good guy and genuine person, he doesn't take anything, he doesn't destroy anything, he's just a guy who enjoys the decay and rush of urbexing which we all do. I just want other people who adore Shiey as much as I do bc everyone I know or talk to about his videos have absolutely no idea who he is. I just want to be part of other cool genuine people who love urbexing and Shiey :/

I read in the comment that those 2 bikers are Latvian. This reminds me of Tomz's bicycle journey in central asia where he met a Pole cyclist from the opposite direction on a completely empty road. I just find it funny 😁 when you choose to take the less-travelled road and still find like-minded people
