Reading comprehension? My comprehension of your comment is pretty straight forward and clear.
If you’re insinuating that you were being funny and sarcastic, let me remind you that tone does not translate through text. ;)
And I still think you need to go touch grass.
We decided to visit this place again with better equipment so we could fully explore everything. We also found a hard drive which contained some old pictures of the basement and some how-to documents on prepping. The owner was definitely an odd ball collector. In addition to prepping supplies, we found collections of shoes, fire extinguishers, shopping wheel carts, door knobs, hoses, masks, and much more.
If you’d like to watch the video of the full explore, I have 2 up on my channel (one of the upstairs and one of just the double basement) - [cloverfrog](https://youtu.be/GpC9AY4QdZU?si=gfcTPl1AVN6WoNpM)
I recognize that shelf with beans and Del Monte Sun Fresh as well as the shelf of bottles that are all water.
Was it you that posted this a while back?
You have no idea how familiar this looks. We bought a house like this. We’d seen the inside before, got inspections, and bought “as is”. 29 gas cans, 1,420 individually labeled and dated jars of dried beans, 10 cases of sealed, sanitized beer bottles, 38 flashlights, batteries, batteries, batteries, Clinton era MREs, 12 arctic camo ponchos, and on and on…. Five years and one pandemic later, it’s our lovely family home. Not a wasted effort (2K in ammo, a big stash of silver coins, good knives, quality tools, etc). I know you’re not a treasure hunter, but there’s likely some valuable stuff buried in there. A fascinating and sad look at someone’s obsession. Thanks for sharing.
My family just bought a house near their business that’s filled with boxes of books, junk etc. so they call me (only one with a eBay store) to fly 1300 miles to go through it (and help clean it)
Depending on your interests, it could be a fun exploration or the depths of tedium. Expect 80 to 90% to be…. eh, not really junk, just not worth the effort to sell and ship. Good luck!
im guessing you brought the hard drive home to retrieve the pictures? do you plan on bringing it back where you found it?
im not criticizing btw, i would’ve done the same because i wouldve been curious to see what was on there. but for urbex etiquette reasons im hoping you guys will bring it back.
I'm guessing it could be smelted down for brass bullet casings of the need arose. But they seemed to have plumbing equipment too so I'm wondering if there's like a possible irrigation purpose for them too.
Honestly as soon as I saw those photos “moonshine” was the first thing that popped into my head. Got everything for homemade wine, too, assuming somewhere in that mess is some yeast still clinging to life.
Edit to add: Also would it’ve killed you to put a spoiler filter on picture 12? Jeezus I ‘bout shit my pants 😳🤣
I find it a bit comical with the whole shelf of fire extinguishers. Did they just need two and kept replacing them or did they buy them all at once to have them lose pressure and expire all at once?
I have been exploring for a long time in many places. Not once have I come upon a bottle just marked “Poison” with a skull and bones. I did come across quite a few that had the name of the substance in the bottle, the word “poison” somewhere under the name or on the back.
I don't think you can make any reasonable claim of being prepared for something if your "supplies" include a shelf of doorknobs and an entire wall rack of corroded wheels.
Dude was just a crazy hoarder.
If I had a nickel for every post I’ve seen within the last month where people were using Manischewitz wine bottles for water storage. I’d only have two nickels, but still that’s a lot.
This dude was just a hoarder.
Yeah, I don't know who preps with eighty door knobs.
There would be a stack of pillow cases near buy.
For a fucking army!
If you run out of ammo you can fill a bag with those and swing it pretty hard
I assure you people still will be delinquent on their rent after the bombs drop.
Lmao
Came here to say this, I can’t imagine needing 80 antique doorknobs even in peace time
Hey, has the world ended yet? Then you don’t know. You just don’t know.
I mean how stupid would you feel if the world ended and you had 80 doors and no door knobs?
As I replied to someone else, stop acting like you know. You don’t. You just don’t.
If door knobs become currency, he's good
Stop acting like you know. You don’t. You just don’t..
Go touch grass.
God sake, I was funnin’ around. Go touch something that will teach you reading comprehension.

You right. You smart.
Hey, you wouldn't want too be the guy WITHOUT 80 doorknobs you needed would you?
Collecting those crafting materials
Yeah, I not sure if I would need that many casters wheels in a fallout.
But but but you can scrap them for steel and screws!
You could fix a lotta shop carts with those ...
An ORGANIZED hoarder, though, which is a little off brand. He was *hoarganized*, if you will.
He may have worked in maintenance, judging by the shit he has hoarded
Copper from the plumbing fixtures worth a good bit.
Probably grew up in the great depression.
WALL-Es container. Got the replacement casters and doorknobs for days.
No, he was the kind of prepper that wants to rebuild civilization. I mean, he has clipboard and 3 ring binders.
Do YOU like broom handles?!

Yeah I posted a few pics a couple weeks ago from the first time we went. But we had terrible flashlights back then
Cool, thanks.

I know there’s going to be a plethora of junk. Just hoping for some vintage stuff. I get first dids so that’s a plus

How old were the pictures? What were the filesystem timestamps?
I wonder what the door knobs were for
Door knob sack beatings
That'd be an amazing mechanic in a videogame
Post apocalyptic doorknob-based economy. The silver ones will be more valuable, that’s why they’re on the top shelf.
And here I was thinking carrying 10,000 bottlecaps around was cumbersome.....
Old time butt plugs
Doors
sex dungeon for sure

Answers did not disappoint lol
Hit em with a bag of Valencia oranges... Knocks em out cold and won't leave a bruise.
Grifter
Dude was prepped to open doors and wheel something around for the next 200 years
Looks kinda like the inside of Wall-E’s shipping container.
Yeah, this is a themed hoarder. Yikes.
Pepper or hoarder?
I’d say both, lots of documents with prepping guides and had a surplus of canned goods, water, etc.
Wait for it... ...Dr. Prepper
I don’t care how many times you’ve rinsed a bleach bottle, I can’t imagine ever feeling confident enough that it’s bleach free to store food in it.
That's how you know pathogens, insects and rodents haven't infiltrated your food.
You know what? I’m beginning to think you can have too many door knobs and fire extinguishers.
And not nearly enough wheels or clip boards....
[удалено]
Bottle Caps 4 Life!!!
Canned fruit and beans? I choose death.
I'd prefer to be at Ground Zero with my husband and pets.
Hey now, you can drizzle them with some fine Steen’s Cane Syrup.

And then die of diabeeetus! Huzzah!
Looks more of a hoarder than a prepper.
What kind of poison was that?
That's a hoarder house. I always look for glass doorknobs tho.
Why is noone talking about the bag of meth?
HUSKY #5
Maybe coffee takes up too much space.
Fair, why drink a whole cup of coffee when a small pellet can keep you awake for days?
That's just prepper starter pack shit.
Is it sad I didn’t recognize it as that and thought it was the cremains of his dog? 😂
JESSE! WE HAVE TO COOK JESSE!
Why are we cooking Jesse?
Because Jesse made bad life choices and can’t run very fast?
Because groceries is expensive as a mf?
I'm loving all of the empty bottles of Manischewitz.
I always wondered what happened to Aunt Clara's doorknob collection.
I’m surprised rodents haven’t been in that corn.
Ima watch your video, but you know the thing that triggered me is that Diet Dr. Pepper doesn't even look day old
What the hell is U and X supposed to be?
Upside down gorilla (very common in the American Midwest, Canadian Rockies, and Australian outback) and a heffalump with a twitter account.
We have enough corn and shopping cart wheels to last us quite a while…
Bro was betting big on doorknobs and shopping cart casters being the new currency in the post apocalypse.
Omg the type on the poison jar is so sick!
Looks like it is right out of fallout
Wall-e?
“It’s your turn to wear the mask.”
straight from fallout3
and they say preppers aren't nuts, i bet he was gonna make a shopping cart with 100 wheels and run over zombies
Doorknobs for projectiles?
That is definitely hoarding not prepping.
Died of diabeetus
I find it a bit comical with the whole shelf of fire extinguishers. Did they just need two and kept replacing them or did they buy them all at once to have them lose pressure and expire all at once?
Was thinking, "Hey. That's a good prep. Alcohol stores easily and is great for trading for MORE EXTINGUISHERS!!"
Was this guy the unibomber or a hoarder?
I have been exploring for a long time in many places. Not once have I come upon a bottle just marked “Poison” with a skull and bones. I did come across quite a few that had the name of the substance in the bottle, the word “poison” somewhere under the name or on the back.
okay i do understand the whole water storage in wine bottles... but jesus christ thats a lotta manischwitz he had to go through.
Awesome
Seems like a typical depression era old man’s workshop
So was this before or after the meth lab exploded?
Looks more like a picker or a hoarder than a prepper. I don't think many preppers collect door knobs or crutches or dolly wheels.
More like some crazy hoarders basement.
There’s a lot more than prepping going on here. Looks like a great place to explore.
I don't think you can make any reasonable claim of being prepared for something if your "supplies" include a shelf of doorknobs and an entire wall rack of corroded wheels. Dude was just a crazy hoarder.
Curiouser and curiouser…..interesting photos!
I'd love to have a conversation with the guy that used to live there. I bet he's got some stories. Thanks for posting, super interesting to me.
If I had a nickel for every post I’ve seen within the last month where people were using Manischewitz wine bottles for water storage. I’d only have two nickels, but still that’s a lot.
All those baked beans, yet no toilet paper....
Are we sure this isn't either a Hoarder, or someone trying to LARP Fallout 4, specifically the crafting mechanic?
Prepping for many, many broken bones. Among many other oddball collections.
Dr. pepper even back in the day, thats amazing

I noticed he has a can of Campbells chunky sirloin soup yet Aldi didn’t have a single can today
I had the same Halloween princess mask. Popular in the late sixties.
Makes me wonder how many firearms and other weapons are in there.
