Dumpster Diving - That Was Quick

What a great day dumpster diving! Ended up in a bit of a rush to make it before the scrapyard closed so we didn't quite fill up the truck, but we went back out and filled up with scrap metal a second time!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3sirg18
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
This is the cheaper version: amzn.to/2SwrYsB
And here are those grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl

I have to say that one of my pet hates when your at the junk yard and you see large amounts of good stuff in the shred pile . Knowing its worth so much more

[@larrybartlett7419]

You got a radio voice and I’m willing to bet that your vocal cords and put out some good music I expect to show up in a bar sometime or just one in sideways cafés and see you sitting there just singing some of the best tunes that you ever wrote it is a wonderful thing you doing

[@thomasvail9914]

To everyone who complains about what he chooses to grab or leave or how he chooses to disassemble his scrap every scrapper is different. Every scrapper scraps for their needs, and everyone sees value versus their time differently. Kudos to you for doing it your way.

[@thubprint]

Thank you! I certainly have my share of critics but sometimes I simply don’t feel like digging out a tiny piece buried under a mountain of trash lol

[@Derbyhobbiescrapper]

Great mate get it all

[@murano63]

Hi there. Great finds today. I laughed at 40:55 when you were loading that white metal thing. I thought of Mike The Scavenger, "Gotta be strong" 😄 I'm glad I finally found a good Canadian scrapper! Stay safe and God bless. Watching from the 306.

Hi THUB if you are collecting scrap why didn't you take the door knobs?? And the dvd player which was all metal.

[@paulcoenen7918]

I saw that. Can't say he didn't see it because he grabbed everything around it. Those are often brass or stainless but are a bugger to get apart.

[@iffy9776]

@@paulcoenen7918 he could have used it as shred. As well as the dvd player add weight.

great to see you grabbing the fridge compressor. I had no idea there was copper inside! I've saved up like 25 of them, can't wait to chop them open :D

[@iffy9776]

Some of them have copper in the compressors the new compressors cheaper fridges have aluminium windings. You cut them open see copper wire then realise its lighter in weight. Rub the wire with a file and see silver and its aluminium. I hate seeing that. Lol

Hi Thub, greetings from Margate, England. Subscribed a while ago & have been catching up on your back catalogue. Although you use weird weights & measures (we invented those by the way) I still love your channel. Your presentation is entertaining & unique...keep doing the thing fellow Panda.

Thanks so much! I had never heard of Margate until watching peaky blinders lol. They are strange measurements! I’m somewhat transitioning to grams when talking about small amounts because maths with ounces feels ridiculous 😆

[@Swishersweetcigarilo]

Has anyone tried to steal scrap out of your truck at night? I always load the copper and good stuff in the morning just incase.

[@paulcoenen7918]

My problem is they put stuff in 😆 But seriously my work mates do bring me a lot of scrap because they know it will get recycled. I take whatever because you never know what they might bring just to clean up thier garage. I got a set of clean aluminum rims once. Last week I got a framed and numbered Terry Redland print.👍

so why do you not take some metals? like door knobs, saw blades, metal bells,

[@thubprint]

Oh there was nothing wrong with any of those, I was just being sloppy. Very small pieces, and doorknobs in particular are annoying to split apart for a not good payoff

Tell people any scrapper or picker has plenty of good phone chords (esp. Apple & MicroUSB), etc. Offer $1 for 2 tested chords.

I don’t have air shocks installed. I’ve thought about it, but the real weak point is the brakes. I’d have to overhaul the braking system too if I wanted to properly upgrade the capabilities and at that point it’s more sensible to just move to a tougher truck

@@TeamBlackDiamond I know! 😆 that’s just my headspace when I’m digging, I really want to find all the cool stuff for the sake of the video. I don’t think much of $0.10 worth of this or that.

WARNING: People, do not eat food from a dumpster. It's in the dumpster for a reason. 15:10 "The most important part" ?? Are you kidding thubprint? I stopped watching your videos 6 months ago when you were eating food out of a dumpster. And yes, I commented then. You replied with what I thought, at the time, was a responsible reply. I didn't watch a video from you since then so I decided to watch one. This one. And I could not believe you are still doing this. And worst of all, call it important. Shame on you for promoting this to your viewers. I will assume nothing has changed since the last video 6 months or so ago. As much as you portray your concern for your viewers and the environment.. it's unbelievable that you would not care to discourage people from eating garbage. You have no clue why the food is in the dumpster.. contamination, involved in a recall, exposed to toxic spillage, etc. Can you imagine a young heathy underage person watching your videos and going out to a dumpster to pick out candy/food, eat it and get seriously ill or sick for the rest of their life? Could you live with yourself in learning something like that happening? I said it before and I will say it this last time. Eat your food from the garbage OFF CAMERA. Can you take on that responsibility? And live by your Motto: Keep doing the "right" thing.
