Cleaning up an Abandoned Homeless Camp. (plus story time with Casey!)

We’re cleaning up abandoned homeless camps and todays project is to remove a large camper from the site so that the trash crews can come in and clean the site. Unfortunately we didn’t have law enforcement approval to remove the vehicle that was there, so we had to leave it behind, but it may or may not be in a slightly different spot…. 🤷🏻♂️

I was homeless and I never had my place look like this. I have much respect to keep the olace clean. It's people like this that give the other homeless people a bad reputation. Thank u all for helping keep it clean.

When I worked for the USFS in Montana I often found people living in my forest. Feeling bad for them I often struck a deal with them. I told them I wouldn't cite them and throw them out if they kept the area where they were living pristine and I didn't get any complaints. Surprisingly, about 75% of them took the deal and they eventually moved on leaving the area nice. The rest were just filthy pigs and ended up in trouble.

[@samellis4054]

Its was arround 2012 in Washington state I pretty much made the same deal with the forest service tell I could get on my feet. I wish I could tell the lady thank you.

[@andymcintosh3782]

@@andymcintosh3782 I usually don't reply to idiots but in your case I will. The forest belongs to everyone and I was just the referee. These people were down on their luck and I helped them out but not throwing the penalty flag. By rule, they had 30 days that they could legally stay there. So what if I fudged on the timeline.

I was homeless in Missouri for like a year and never did I leave a mess.. So easy to clean up after yourself. This is probably why this person was homeless.

[@app103]

It's easy to clean up after yourself, unless the government forces everyone to leave the homeless camp immediately, forcing them to only take the things they can carry. Whatever they can not carry, they have to leave behind. Then people come on KZbin, form their opinions, and call them names for leaving it all behind.

[@underthetrees4780]

Not every person on earth is a pig. This here is a group of whoever that does not care about keeping anything clean and not destroying. When you just say people that sounds pretty much like everyone on the planet. Does that include you? Let's try and cut that down a little and try not to infer everyone on earth is a pig. Some people take care of their properties and the land in general wherever that may be.

[@jlouis5217]

So are you not a person. You talk as if uoure an alien race that couldn't possibly do this. If people are the most destructive on earth what does that make you. If you want we could not consider you part of the human race. So which is it are you a person or just observe people doing this. Unless you can prove otherwise honey you're people too. So you have to distinguish what persons are doing this.

That's the thing they probably are locked up Tweakers don't typically leave there mountain of stuff lol

[@andrewostrelczuk406]

Sorry to say that if you lock them up, there is still the same mess left behind. We have a systemic issue in our country today that starts with impoverished Americans who wind up in our Judicial system and it manufactures more problems than it solves. It’s hardly even a temporary fix while they are in a jail or a prison, they simply are trained to do what it takes to survive inside the Lock up. Very few people are interested in reforming a “Criminal” but how much has been done to make sure that they don’t want to go back to the life they had been living. Given skills and a trade and education in something different is also steeped with suspicion that they will just take advantage of that system and wind up back in a Lock up. The way that we treat just non-violent offenders is de-Humanizing. So I implore you to come up with something better than locking them up! If that’s all you can do then there’s not going to be enough people to watch the prisoners. We already have enough Psychotics Running the Asylums as it is...
