Dumpster Diving & Curbsiding "Why You Pokin' It?"

Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

When you were sliding that release back & forth on rail, you sure had the rhythm, lots of practice Mike??

[@janderakaleroydavis]

We never fail to have a good time here. Thank you for your content !!!! Good finds 🙂

[@michaelfred8848]

I worked in a Texaco in the 70’s and we had an old 60’s caddie rolled in and was barely running and we put that STP in it and that motor smoothed out so nice, it was remarkable 😂👍

[@wadeott7463]

Those screens with wood frames were screen printing frames for printing on t-shirts and stuff.

[@lindaswanson9328]

Soooo loved seeing the Scavenger come out! It's so fun. And you know it. You are creating in your mind. That, my friend, is a gift. I still say you can do interior design. Your kitchen is amazing! You and Mrs. Mike, have crazy talent. Keep on making videos. We all love the ride-alongs. And btw, thank you for saving our planet. You inspire me and many others. Scrappity scrap scrap scrap. Be safe out there in the urban jungle.

[@Jibbie49]

I'm glad you take us along, Mike, otherwise, it would be lonely out there in the middle of the night.

[@marilynmack6233]

Mikey, stop playing with the scrap! You'll go blind. LOL

[@scooterllm4398]

Yeah! He didn’t know he isn’t a poet! Why the bad verses you are spewing out?!?!

[@lilyrose3145]

Your poetry is so elegantly spoken.

[@dianewilliams1125]

FYI Those are great vintage Halloween things! Glad you took the misc. Stuff!😊😊😊

[@jaybales3160]

Nice hunt for pocket change👍😎

[@Earthling418]

I believe the STP treatment you showed mainly cleans the injectors and fuel pump and such but if those things were causing issues, it could save gas.

[@dellinkwent]

Garbage is LIFE!!

[@SuperClarky666]

mike caressing his scrap like a lover 😂

[@nikkichan550]

Love your Unpacking Short at the end! ❤️ Basicly all but that's a nice one too!

[@alparker8661]

4K AV receiver needed when you get a 4K TV. Had to get rid of a perfectly good AV receiver when I got my 4K Sony. Expensive upgrade. Replacement parts available for Igloo ice chests, hinges, latches, wheels.

[@indianaslim4971]

Igloo for the win...made in Texas

[@vickilewis6730]

You sure are handy with the scrap Mike!

[@geraldluque9607]

Good day Mike, another great vid. Yes, the gas treatment really works, especially if you live where you have drastic temp changes during the night and your fuel tank works like a still, sweating and gas floats on top of water, your fuel pump is at the bottom of your tank, sucking up water 1st and into the fuel system. With 10% ethanol fuel, which turns into water in 30 days...you'll figure it out after your car has no power, bucks, can't get up to speed, or no power....

[@Bamapride1000]

I’ve been collecting coolers as of late again. I use them to put fish and game I’ve harvested in mostly and every now and again we butcher pigs and put them in there. Of course we give them a good bleach cleaning before the meats go in and as of right now I have about 10 topped off. I’ve gotta get me another walk-in cooler put together. I’d still collect the decent coolers and sale them locally pretty quick for good money. I got a huge artic cooler a few weeks ago that didn’t look like it was ever used just got in the way due to its size. It’s a $1500 cooler.

[@vicferrari9380]

Thanks for the ride along Mike

[@lia-liz2012]

[@huckstirred7112]

[@robertschwartzman195]

Mike have a Happy Veterans day and a good weekend.

[@donnapadgett6583]

Mike you are best. Really enjoyed your video. God bless you and be safe 😊

[@completelyswapcolbolt1965]

Hey Mike that’s a house regulator reduces gas pressure down from 20 psi to 7 inches of water column ( approximately 4 ounces of natural gas)

[@GoldVP...]

Mike...gas treatment is a fuel conditioner, thats only supposed to clean the lines, and filter screens, and maybe clean cylinder heads, but only Seafoam saves you on fuel, by cleaning everything, including sparkplugs in block. Enjoying your stuff. Cheers from Vancouver Island 🍻

[@jonathanfranken4212]

Definitely a follow up after this video please

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Hi Mike, Another vlog of your scraping.

[@donlandenberg8126]

Another good one, Mike. Your weirdness is why I watch. Keep it coming.

[@jeffcrumpler8793]

Always fun watching your videos here to support

[@mtbjunkie247365]

STP Gas treatment. Good for the fuel system, helps clean off the varnish from gas. Cleans fuel injectors and fuel pumps amoung other things. Not for saving gas so to speak, but if the fuel system is struggling then you are losing fuel mileage. Also good for old gas that has been sitting due to seasonal use.

[@daewooparts]

15:03 playing with the scrap doesn't make the load heavier, 16:39,don't polish the knob either with that

[@paulhuber4862]

Man where is that dumpster full of plastic?!?!? I’ll drive all the way to Texas to pick that up ! Man just one sheet of that is about $200

[@petekbleeepingaustralia8720]

[@michaelmount76]

Thanks for the video bud

[@robertferrell8518]

@ 3:22 Got a little correction for you Young Mike, that’s not a gas meter that is part of it. That is actually the regulator side so it is a regulator if it was a meter that would be against the law to throw it out without notifying the gas company to come and collect it for whatever reason, but the regulator without having the meter attached should be fine to recycle .

[@kenjohnson5498]

After the 15:10 mark i needed a nap

[@Bundasopiterbaru]

[@dianewilliams1125]

Hey Mike! Check out Steve DePasse you and he are the rhyming poets! He's 90yrs old and has rhymed with all the amazing super stars and musicians! Youtwo would be cool together! Scrappity scrap! ❤❤❤

[@edwinheredia4305]

Well, Mike At least you made a video. It was entertaining.

[@lanna7917]

In rare form tonight Mike.

[@CatherineFedewa]

Gas treatment will treat it if there is water moisture out and keeps fuel injectors clean so therefore will run more smoothly, and may save on gas. But that's not waht it is intended for LOL Watched from Pekin, IL

[@cameronhamer9432]

That’s not a gas meter , that’s a gas regulator. Sometimes you eat the bear , sometimes the bear eats you . 👍🇨🇦

[@CléoRegisortiz]

Boa tarde Maike vc é o melhor 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mildredhensley4175]

And so what does it mean,plz

[@mildredhensley4175]

[@bainsworth8853]

that looked like a heavy palet

[@christietz5020]

I'm pushing 50, harsh on my joints all my life, doing martial arts currently. Depending on how i feel i either cringe in pain or laugh when he jumps out of open tops. Btw it's a regulator valve.

[@DanielGibbons-m7r]

It's a gas treatment to remove water from the gas ⛽

[@lorchid23]

My prayers for anyone who’d shell-out $15 for a Christmas potholder 😂

[@AndyHullMcPenguin]

19:46 Surely... if its a shepherds hook, you put it in your yard and hang your sheep from it. If you hang your plants from it then it must be a planters hook.... surely...

[@brianwv64]

[@phil10000]

That’s a gas regulator for home use

[@STXKitchenDude]

It's a gas pressure regulator

[@larryswearingen8129]

That was the regulater

[@larryjohns8823]

The gas additive works...takes $$$ from your pocket and gives to someone else😮 Most car manifactures have information in their manual that you should NOT use any additives.

[@jackhyatt7591]

Mike, I am interested in the lift chair motor assemblies. Please send the part numbers to me. Thanks, Jack Hyatt

[@javiermorin3295]

Hey Mike, is the scrap gig out of scrap 😮

[@marilynbergemann6927]

You teach me something, I saw some wire in a dumpster. I thought is that Cat wire? I took the wire and when I got home I read on the wire it said Cat wire. I wish I could give you the wire.

[@harryleadbetter-vj5ww]

Singing again 😂😂😂😂

[@grouptherapy812]

Mike, if the sander works, I'll buy it from you for a reasonable price.

[@joselinel4779]
