    IT IS I, THE INTERVIEWEE!
    It was great to be able to info-dump about one of my favorite jobs I've ever had! If y'all got any questions, feel free to ask, I'll be as open as I can.
    CLARIFICATION: The grenade we found was not the Type 87 shell like I thought, but just a Type 97 fragmentation grenade. Similar, but not the same. Also, the knee mortar was not launched on the knee, American GIs returning back home incorrectly assumed that. Forgotten Weapons on youtube has a great video with more info.
    Thanks, Azeal!

    I was friends with the son of a hoarder. It got so bad the young man ended up becoming depressed. He used to be so lively in his younger days, but as his mom's hoarding got worse, his well being went down in proportion to the hoarding.
    I went inside the house a couple times. A sea of clothes and crap so high that you could touch the ceiling. Every inch of the house was flooding with... STUFF.

      I know someone like that. Her grandmother isn't as bad as some of the hoarders out there and I think it's only because her parents try to do cleaning but she just goes and buys more crap. Like I kid you not grandma would go buy groceries after parents just bought some, so now there are 7 loafs of bread on the counter (because if there's a sale she has to buy them). She tried to pawn off a steak on me that was brown once and I told her it wasn't any good anymore, showing her the date
      As soon as the person I know moved out of the house her mental state drastically improved. I hope your friend got out and is doing better

    The gas you mentioned late in the video is called CS gas. It's not actually a gas, but small sharp particles that bury and cut into fabrics and skin. Marines in boot camp actually get "gassed" by this substance. It sucks for a number of reasons, mainly because if you try to shower it off with warm water, the vapor will lift the particles up and reactivate it. It can be deadly if breathed in because it will cause your lungs to create lots of mucus, leading to the clogging of your lungs. It takes about 5 mins of breathing it before it becomes a serious concern. However, if you don't die, it'll completely clean out your airway.

    decomp was the strangest smell i have smelled in a house(went to grandmas house when i got the news she had passed), she passed on the bed and the odor that hit me as soon as i entered the house was fermenting fecal matter and a sickeningly sweet scent, hard to describe the sweet scent but i will never forget it, what made the odor worse was that the heat in the house was turned up really high. i got to see my grandma for the last time(she had passed sitting on the edge of the bed and was now laying down on her back but was still in a sitting pose)
    fun story about grenades. i work at a papermill and many years ago we got a shipment of logs from somewhere down in europe and the metal detector on the conveyor belt stopped the line, when the operators went out to look, they found an old WW2 frag grenade lodged in one of the logs. the police where called and the bomb squad blew it up outside the building.

    There were times in my life where I think my family were horders. When my stepdad was alive, he collected action figures. They were everywhere. When he passed unexpectedly, my mom tried to hold on to them but she just couldn't stand the sight of them and got rid of most of them. She was sad to look at them and sad to be rid of them too. It sucked for her. It's best to just let things go at times. We definitely are not neatfreaks by no means, but we do get a little messy and dirty at times. Not as horrid as any average hoader, but we are lazy and could use a extra bit of motivation. In time. Anyhow, take care of yourselves, change what you can, and you'll be fine.

    Very recently, I finished cleaning my own room, which was a two years in the making. Luckily for me, I had tried at least twice before and thus no real like mold. Or anything insanely awful was there. But it still took me a couple weeks and there was a lot. But you are completely right in a lot of aspects. The feeling of standing back and looking at a room, which is pretty much clean after it was horrendous is just amazing. And for anyone who may be struggling to clean a room in their house or just their room and is reading this comment. The best thing I can suggest, for you is to divide the room up into sections. And determining which one you feel like you can do at that moment. And it doesn’t need to be done in one day or one week or whatever. You can take as long as it takes. As long as you’re still doing stuff, it’s still progress. Or at least that’s how I looked at it. Either way keep on keeping on. And thank you for reading this comment.

    I remember watching hoarders
    I have met a few myself back when I lived in Texas
    Never a pretty sight nor a happy one
    It's always sad and mostly depressing
    And hoarding isn't always in their house where they live it can be a shed or a garage or even their yards
    I remember climbing around on a hoard once when visiting a family friend
    Wasn't pretty and little me shouldn't have been doing so but I did
    Hoarding tends to hit a lot of the older folks
    Especially when they are alone
    It's a real mental disorder and it's not a kind one to the person who developed it
    It's in some cases lethal
    You hear about people getting crushed by moving mounds or pets dying in holes and not being found for years
    It's nasty
    And so many treat these people so horribly and think them dumb or lazy
    They are not
    They are ill and need help most of all
    They don't enjoy living in squalor no one does they just can't break the hold it has on them either mentally or physically for the older folks

The worst job i was on was to replace and drain the freeon in an apartment room, when from the out side it wasnt that bad but when you went in the room was thick with cig smoke, weed smoke, cat piss and shit, and rancid milk. Let alone to say it wasnt a fun day for me and my bud

    I'm not even qualified to do this kind of job and I ended up doing it when my dad passed away. His house was over 30 years of hoard that we're STILL going through...along with the various emotions that came with it: loss, anger, frustration, yelling at each other and more.
    Since then: it's beem sorta a driving force for me to GET qualified for this level of work with my landscaping and property management company just to see the freedom of a property again.
    It's been 3 years and I'm still cleaning up this place when he died and I've been working through it. I'd have loved to be in the interview with this guy to sit and learn at his knee.

I’m currently about 6 weeks away from graduating my tool and die maker apprenticeship with a massive raise and a journeyman’s card.

      Thanks! A few of your videos actually helped me get through some of the tough times leading up to this point! Your videos helped me not only realize that everyone, not just those I don’t know, have a huge effect on the life around me, but also that questioning everything, no matter what answer is given, is the key to success in life. If I don’t know something, I ask “why?” After that answer is said, I then ask “How?” And so on and so forth. Asking those questions after receiving answers rather than asking them all at once is what leads to the truth. Being patient when finding the truth and knowing that it may not all be sunshine and rainbows, but the world wouldn’t be half as advanced as it is now without the darkness of the world to give us perspective.

      Clay, paper, and wood litters are notorious for their poor smell retention, but a much better option in my experience is silica crystal litter. It sucks up all the moisture from the waste, thereby eliminating the primary means of smell transmission into the air. I have three cats and don't smell their litter boxes ever.

    I feel for people that work these sorts of jobs. I have mad respect for him for being able to step up and take on jobs of such magnitude and importance. He’s stronger than me in that respect.
    Reminds me of something I ran into at my job. For context, I work at a local thrift store, and we sometimes go out around town to pick up donations that some people can’t bring to the store themselves. Me, another guy, and the store boss actually went on a pickup to a place being cleaned up by one of these hoarder cleaning crews, about a month or two ago.
    The hoarder in question moved to my city from Georgia. The lil’ detached single-car garage next to the house was filled 80% of the way, floor to ceiling, back wall to the garage door, with pristine boxes of packaged up items that hadn’t been touched since they moved to my city - about fifteen years, if I recall.
    We backed up the trailer to the garage, the other guy started bringing boxes to me, and I used my “superior Tetris stacking” to organize all the boxes in the trailer. If I had been swapped out for anyone else, like one of the boss’ sons, they would’ve easily had to make two trips, but I managed to neatly stack it into one. Took about 60-90 minutes.
    Now the full trailer is sitting in my boss’ detached TWO-car garage, waiting for space at our warehouse to be dumped off and properly sorted through. But who knows how long that’ll be! I hope the big guy enjoys having all that occupying HIS place now. Who knows if one of these crews might have to go take care of all that too someday, just rinse and repeat.

    On some cursory googling, the Clear Out canisters are aerosol tear gas grenades with a 1% mixture of CS (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, aka “tear gas”). These things are used in situations where traditional CS grenades are not an option because of, for example, a fire risk (see Waco).
    These things are more like a big bug bomb, except for use against humans instead of insects.

    I honestly hope I never become a hoarder. I may have some tendencies but I’m not sure. My grandmother is definitely a hoarder. She wasn’t on TV show level, but she was close. My aunts old bed was always covered in clothes, and the dining table was covered with random nicknacks except when we needed that space for holidays. She had a second freezer and we cleaned it out one day. It looked like snow in there, but it was solid, and everything was spoiled. We cleaned a lot after my grandpa died, so it’s better now.
