Dumpster Diving Street Scrapping Hunting for a Win

[@paulbishop4712]

near the end of this episode as you were driving wearing the sheep skin jean jacket brought back a flood of memories ......in 1978 while at home in Sooke B.C. my son was in school and my 3 year old daughter Sokfa would come with me while doing my small clean-up business .......like you I would come home with my Datsun overflowing and would have my piles for scrap metal wood etc. and a small pile of real junk, on one of these trips I cleaned out a small shed filled to the brim with boxes of new fishing lures rods hooks and a new sheep skinned jean jacket I wore it for years I loved that jacket .......it brought a huge smile within me....... many thanks and keep up the scrounging .........now in my mid seventies I spend time reflecting on those times I've live on Quadra Island for the past 35 years all of which was possible from re-using and utilizing all of the waste .......if you find yourself out west look me up .............all the best Paul Bishop

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]

Brilliant, I was about to go up the shed but wanted to be lazy and have a cup of tea first, now I have an excuse to sit, tea in hand and watch this😄

[@johnthompson9032]

Plus it’s a cold miserable day, no sunshine today 🤷‍♂️

[@dr.a006]

Sometimes it’s easier to watch scrapping than do scrapping😅

[@omar_padilla]

Hey Man no need to apologize, yeah the treasures are cool but you know the real reason why we come along with you?..... You my friend, the treasures are just the Cherry on top. Great video! Can't wait until our next adventure!

[@richavic4520]

You always get a thumbs up from me, Thubby. I'm from the future, and all I can say is be secure in your ventures. It'll insure a problem free trip.

[@mollynakamori]

Never apologize for your content. Just hanging with Thub is well worth it.

[@qtrax100]

we love hanging with Thub

[@simodo11]

No matter what,you are fabulous to watch,so much knowledge and brightens up your day

[@durfkludge]

Love your stuff, Thub. Sorry your side-quests didn't all work out. Keep on Thubbin'!

[@kentieber7309]

the first water heater, if you take the control box of it has a nice piece of brass and a nice piece of copper on it. The second water heater in the control box has a small circuit board and two nice copper coils in it.

[@jamesfrench7299]

Glad you found your wheels.

[@trasieinkersole491]

Thanks Thub. ❤️💙

[@connorkobus2620]

man I love you content! you inspired me to ask for all the copper wire and pipe from the houses I help build and have amassed a couple hundred pounds now I am learning to melt it down and make jewelry with it! You rock! Also can you make a T shirt that says "Im just a little goblin"?

[@empirefinds]

Awesome brother looking forward to the trailer upgrade

[@Warpcaller]

Great adventure, glad you managed to get your trailer together!

[@thubprint]

The parts together anyway! Looking forward to it 👍

[@KarmaHoax]

That's how she rolls. Ups and downs. I think we all join in for the same reason. We watch for you. I watch ads when they are not 45 mins long. I see alot of that now. Today alone had a 3 hour ad, full documentary as an ad. Crazy. So continue showing all you want.I for one appreciate it. Look forward to the uploads weekly. Oh the mushroom video was a nice change up. Not sure where I would do that here in Newfoundland but looks like a great time to get out in nature and make a bit of coin. Keep it up Thub!

[@richavic4520]

Ever find yourself on a ladder when one of those comes on?

[@44davewright]

I love that you are willing to share the wins, loses, trials and tribulations. Keeps it real!! Not all plans go according to plan, some days just go completely sideways (like my whole last couple weeks😂😂). Always brightens my day to see your vid's. Much love from Ontario.

[@thubprint]

I’m sorry to hear that, I hope the next couple weeks go better than anticipated to make up for it! Thank you, and warm wishes from Calgary!

[@tommymadden9746]

The thub video was great dude. Thub just grinding it out every day.

[@Nas_Atlas]

always leaving it better than you found it.

[@marksteps1712]

so long as your heart was in the right place dont stress the failed quests, happy you got a win with the trailer project

[@benhumphregys3087]

Thank you for another great video please keep them coming ❤

[@jeffwarga7405]

Lol. It wasn't to long ago I said the same thing.Ahhh, I needed that win. Right on!

[@Swik1031]

Love watching your videos like this. Gives me inspiration that ill get a good haul when i go out 😂. Scrapping has become one of my favorite hobbies in the last few years.

[@MetalsMattR]

I went out today in the pouring rain got wet twice as i came home got changed and went back out but better covered with a wet weather jacket and shoes. looks amazing there ! nothing better than the sun shining and finding treasure I did ok, I found more copper in dumpsters than the actual council clean up... keep showing your content it makes me want to go out after watching I should be doing collecting videos but this channel is more for my jewellery stuff and a little bit of scrapping melting and paintings of jewellery

[@MikeDoesStuff101]

Was kinda feeling down tonight. Came to thubs channel to hear that positive vibe. Appreciate you content and keep it up!

Idc what Thub posts, I will always watch his videos

[@jasonhurley1293]

South Florida has tons of scrap

[@Sebi78421]

Just searched for this kind of vids, because of another video i saw, i mean a reel from instagram, happy that i found you

[@thubprint]

I’m glad you found me! I’ve gotten up to a bunch of different sorts of adventures but generally I’m on some kind of treasure hunt 😁 thanks for saying hi!

[@dr.a006]

Thanks for reminding me I need to finish the mushroom vid! Like many things lately I start and forget to finish😅

[@Ayekay403]

I respect the fact that you're still scraping in Calgary. I've seen a lot of them come and go here.

[@thubprint]

It’s tough to make it work long term, but I think that’s a feature more than anything? Scrapping is a great way to fill the gaps, maybe not so much a career. Some folks definitely make it work and work really well, but it’s good that some people do it for a while and then move on to something more reliable. Personally I love it, I’m having a great time!

[@westermanneric]

There is a very high likelihood I can send you with a remote for both of those TVs. I can let you know Monday if you’re interested! Also, please keep up side missions like mushroom picking. It was just like old school Thub videos and I really dug that!

[@thubprint]

I would appreciate that! The jvc would be a nice treat but the Toshiba would be a huge help. Pm me somewhere, I can send you pics to confirm and of course I’d pay you for them 👍 The mushroom one was great fun, I’ll keep making those ones whenever possible! The views do matter of course, so I can’t just do side quests unfortunately 😆

[@westermanneric]

@@thubprint Oh yeah, of course! You gotta make a living! It was just super cool seeing what else you get up to. I really liked the old videos for that, when you’d sprinkle in a couple that were completely different. As for remotes I’ll check my stash on Monday and let you know what I’ve got. They won’t be the exact model or anything but I’ve had great luck with backwards compatibility.

[@daleh645]

Way to get the lead out! 🤣

[@IanJ-rz6nb]

Enjoyed this cheers dude and realised I must have missed the mushroom 1 so will give a go next time

[@thubprint]

Have a watch, I was really proud of how it turned out!

[@IanJ-rz6nb]

@@thubprint just watched it very good your a cool guy well done 👍🏼

[@jacobvb2975]

Ever find your Toshiba remote

[@stephensmith3708]

I've yet to see a vid on you tearing down a electric stove yet. I am sure you did but need to know if it would be worth it. Never torn one up yet, and betting there will be goodies in it. Can you do one in the near whats left of the future? Pretty dang right score, kid!

[@thubprint]

Like this one? 😁 Scrapping a Stove for Copper and Pouring an Ingot! How Much? kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5mxlIybgbKtr9k

[@franklinvidrine972]

Always a Good Friday when I see a Thub video on my timeline with “uploaded 1 min ago”!

[@Rileythemanmerp]

Honestly just scrap the dumpster 😂

[@kevinmartell6859]

Had a question ,how do you, scrap your xmas lights

[@mollynakamori]

I love the old school picking, but that mushroom one was special. Maybe tree planting this summer?

[@thubprint]

Tree planting isn’t the kind of thing you can typically waltz in, do for a week or two, and then leave when it suits you.. they’ve always had a problem with people trying to leave a couple weeks early for festival season so they’re generally pretty strict about “celebrity plants”. I’m glad you agree though, I’d love to just do videos like that! (You may have noticed the trend 😆) there are a few other adventures that I think are worth a feature however, so I’m looking at scheduling them in this year.

[@theamazingdillshow9121]

So do you not get the circuit boards for scrap? They pay pretty good in my area. 23 cents lbs at the moment.

[@ericprater4017]

We cleaned out my wife's Father's apartment, he was a massive smoker, we threw everything into the garage for 6 months before dealing with his estate, sigh, fk/sht, contact high from the nicotine yellow stained stuff. It literally polluted the garage with 2nd hand smoke, good times!

[@thubprint]

It’s really something! I couldn’t imagine living in a house with an indoor smoker, it really soaks into everything

[@swifty2844]

"the spirit is willing but the body is weak" 😂

[@Oldgrumpyvet67]

That statement is so true

[@PolarBearStorage]

How do you remove glue or silicone from aluminum extrusion?

[@thubprint]

It’s actually pretty tough sometimes, I usually just give it a once over with a metal scraper and try get it “good enough”, but I always have a couple dirty pieces of extrusion anyway so I don’t fight that hard over it. If you really need it clean though a wire wheel on an angle grinder is probably your best bet 👍

[@PolarBearStorage]

@@thubprint I am tempted to try a wire wheel on a mounted grinder. Have you tried this?

[@thubprint]

@@PolarBearStorage I haven’t tried that personally, and it kind of sounds like a bad plan to me… those things have a lot of power, and they aren’t meant for working on large pieces of material. Too risky for me, much better to put the workpiece in a mounted vice and use the angle grinder 👍

[@ltdan2990]

you just tossed some copper motor away with the pantes 30+ thing you just took the cover on. Just letting you know. Thanks

[@imnobody0034]

Marge there's raccoon's in the dumpster again.

[@iffy9776]

Can you not down load the remote on your smartphone?

[@thubprint]

Smartphone no, most phones don’t have IR transmitters (I think some androids might?) But a wiiU game pad will work!

[@iffy9776]

​@thubprint .all you need is an IR BLASTER and then control the tv with your smart phone.

[@patrothwell9138]

Question what do u do for your real job because u only make 1 video a week or do u make enough on the one video to get by?

[@dannyball3098]

Hey trash panda a big hello from ohio here in the states love the videos got a quick ? Do you have a east way identifying red from yellow brass any info would be greatly appreciated please and thank ya

[@thubprint]

Sadly I do not, the scrapyards near me do have red and yellow brass categories but my brass doesn’t add up quick enough for me to worry about separating things. I just have the one brass bin and a handful of dirty brass on the side

[@dannyball3098]
