Dumpster Diving "Walkin' A Tight Rope"

[@truckerswife5060]

The "I don't have a clue" item was a brake chamber for a semi.

[@odellgilbert3605]

You sir are a influencer, I was seperating non-ferrous the other day and a piece went past my ear. A watch yo head popped out of my mouth before I knew what was happening. The Mrs. looked at me like I had lost my mind. LOL if she only knew.

[@barthanes1]

The thing you were questioning was an air break cylinder for an 18wheeler. Don't take it apart. There is a powerful spring inside under a huge amount of force. It can kill you.

[@randall39]

Yeah. Used to be a heavy duty mechanic. You don’t want to take them apart unless they are caged. High pressure spring.

[@stubstoo6331]

Yep had to take one apart on a concrete truck on the job once with the truck still running . It was definitely a watch your head moment when it flew apart.

[@robertfandel9442]

It's not that powerful not nearly as bad as a front spring on a car.

[@michaeljansen3540]

They are made so you can't take the back off

[@dougnash7547]

It’s a semi truck brake chamber, it’s supposed to be disarmed before being tossed out, spring loaded, supposed to cut spring with a torch before being tossed out , now it’s not safe the way it is , stay away, I’ve cut plenty of chambers,

[@nilakc5802]

Those of us who no longer have or maybe never had such cat-like abilities certainly admire yours!

[@brendawitters421]

I love it when you say....oOoOO watch your head!!!!!!

[@andrewphillips9123]

The thing you picked up at 18.30 is a brake servo off of a truck. They have a diaphragm and spring inside. The trucks air pressure over comes the spring pressure and pushes on the rod to apply the brakes when you stomp on the brake pedal. Another awesome video Mike.

[@robertfandel9442]

I thought servos were electric? I used to maintain semi brakes. We just called them diaphragms.

[@b_force157]

"I think these poles are maybe for a trampoline or something" - after moving the pool box showing those poles in the picture 😄. We love ya Mike! Man I feel like you could start a pallet business just with what you find in dumpsters. It's a shame so many businesses just throw them away. Btw, T-shirt idea: "Gotta be strong!" with a stick-figure holding up a fridge or something of the sort.

[@tacobender7938]

I have watched other dumpster divers, you for sure are the hardest working Scavenger on utube, keep up the good work and good videos. Thanks

[@johnsonwilliam1023]

We need to follow up on this and a trip to the junkyard with the stuff

[@Oldgrumpyvet67]

Yes !!! I agree

[@jeffbelcher4646]

Always a great day in the Dumpsters with Mike. Watch your head !!

[@lorettawilliams1929]

[@dalelangen8219]

Working hard for the money! 🎶 Good video!

[@ppshale7223]

Mike Mike Mike!!! Thanks for taking us along with you!!! I appreciate you so much!!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work! Stay weird!!!!

[@gaiaocracy]

Adventures in dumpster diving with Mike is curiously entertaining. Thanks, Mike!

[@billamick2338]

The poles were from the pool box that you moved and the big thing you thought was a compressor was actually a brake cylinder from a tractor-trailer.

[@marktimmons6149]

Hey Mike I get watch another video of Mike the scavenger thank you again for great videos.

[@arlettewooten5332]

Another day with the scavenger!!! Love your content!

[@egerviktor6910]

Guten Abend aus germanii. 👍👌💪💵💰

[@robertyoung7027]

Hey man I know you got to pay your bills and I know that Junking out of industrial dumpsters makes you more money. But man I wish you would throw in some junking down the city streets or the neighborhood streets I love seeing what other people's trash turns into your treasure

[@johnwootton9031]

Enjoy your new bike mike

[@marksmithson1414]

You did awesome and Filled Dottie up again!! Love when you go to the scrap yards!!!

[@larryd4352]

Wow.....Dottie was hungry that evening!!!

[@big.ronwisconsin9598]

The crazy looking thing in the dumpster you were thinking might be a compresser. It is a brake chamber off a larger truck or semi with air brakes. I've had the pleasure of changing a few whatever you do don't tear it apart there's compressed spring in it if you're not careful they will fly apart and take your head off

[@nettypets]

Good morning from Australia and Happy Easter and have a wonderful Good Friday. ❤ from Nanette

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

We used those vents in front of diesel generator radiators. They were positioned for the best airflow based on the temperature of the facility.

[@robertschwartzman195]

Hi Mike & Laura wishing a very Happy Easter to you and yours. Mike contact some of the local hams in the area and they might purchase some of those cables so wait on cutting the ends off...

[@josephcormier5974]

Thank you for sharing this with us six stars

[@lisamelton96]

Great dumpster diving!!!

[@seanstevens9657]

That turntable is worth lots just for parts! Should sell better than a pound of steel for sure....

[@JeepDogs]

He Mike , your correct that bumper goes to a Jeep wrangler. Love your vids

[@GC-jh1uf]

I worry every time Mike jumps into a bin that he's going to land on an upturned nail. And God knows the germs that would be on it. Stay safe!

[@irmahernandez6016]

That and the fact that I'm hoping he has no regrets when he gets to a certain age that his knees and ankles are going to be in pain, I cringe everytime he jumps off the dumpters!!!!

[@judywaddell6065]

G C - I hope he is up to date with his Tetanus injection!!!!!.

[@claytonstevens3613]

Mike - that front bumper is for a JL Jeep Wrangler

[@kaycawthon7354]

Super trip!!!! Thanks Mike!!!!

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]

I could watch the scores you get all day long Mike, you're amazing and I love watching you so much!!!

[@e78g]

at 18 min. brake chamber for a semi, very powerful spring inside, don't take apart unless you "cage" the brake chamber. you could get hurt if you don't do it right

[@drldonna]

You are the man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258]

Fantastic night Mike! Fantastic video!

[@Number1BusDriver]

At 18:15, you found a commercial truck - spring loaded, air brake chamber. A critical part of the air brake system on big trucks.

[@calvinevans8305]

That's a good load of heavy scrap.

[@zlatanmorrison8182]

Closing in on 500k Mike:)

[@chriscampbell8149]

Another great video as usual!!

[@tonymcfaul9441]

always good to see and hear you wander over all these dunkers haveing a good time,thanks

[@Stalkpro]

Hello, great treasure hunt, there's a lot to find, well done👍🙂✅️

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Thanks 👍

[@tobyjo57]

You put such a lot of energy into it Mike I love how you really make the most of it. Toby watching from the Phillipines

[@markcloutier7087]

Great haul.

[@jvjdrn]

Keep rocking it, Mike!

[@wmurphy5351]

That pod you found that you said was some kinda air thing is an air break pod. I think you'll find your scrap yard won't take it cause it's under extreme spring pressure inside they explode violently if the retaining ring around the middle is broken.

[@DCHoosier62]

Poor Dottie. 😂 was a good night for ya there. Congrats. Stay safe out there.

[@wantacar2055]

very good finds👍

[@wayneclarke1727]

I love how you plow through shit!😊

[@gibsondon1977]

That canisters looking thing is for the breaks on a semi truck or semi trailer. It pushes the breaks out to stop them. It's called a break chamber.

[@joannlindstrom5413]

I love your videos 😊

[@tatchley3049]

Less than FOUR THOUSAND new subscribers needed for MTS to be at 500k!!! Amazing. Share, share, share! Let's help get it done before Mike's birthday 🎂

[@stuartbocash3899]

Hey Mike... those poles are from a above ground pool... nice score there... keep the awesome content coming... Bocash out...

[@cherylradabaugh2720]

Have a happy Easter

[@kathleenhilty6020]

Good job Mike. Thought you were gonna herniate something at the orange dumpster though. I was grunting along with you. Love me some Mike the scavenger!!

[@lindadunn452]

Good video mike. Have a nice good Friday and Easter.

[@paulajones9956]

Great Haul Mike, you really work hard, my hat's off to you

[@steelandtree3133]

Thorin is a great brand of turntable. German made, expensive. Great find if it works.

[@CrustyRustysRestoration]

Dang that’s some nice square tube and pipe! I could actually use that on my projects 😂

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Back in business, copper and bronze are the best finds. Another nice metal find

[@joannefazenbaker1448]

Mike's on a roll! Good pickins!

[@RonHicks]

Mike's playing that heavy metal music with those metal poles!

[@kevinmalda3182]

I love the sound effects and some of the things you say. Cracks me up.

[@quinco7777]

Great job on that vent toss! 👏 👍

[@bobcrandall7749]

good days work big thumbs way up

[@jackiegromacki686]

Dottie's hungry like cookie monster.

[@lindabrown2170]

Great finds.

[@catryanintx]

Awesome haul!

[@carolekofmehl7284]

I know it’s impossible to record every scrap run but it would be interesting to see how much the iron scrap weighs on this load. (P.S. because I ❤️ you, DON’T put too much strain on that mesh. It’s still early days! 😘)

[@MissMaggie246]

I just mentioned that Mike needs to be careful. I’m not aware of any mesh though…maybe I missed that part.

[@goldmagnet]

I literally just watched "HOT FUZZ" last week, bloody funny English comedy 🤣

[@gordonbuffington]

"BIG mike on the hunt

[@7000fps]

Sweet Turntable DONT scrap IT! High end unit

[@irmahernandez6016]

There goes the neighborhood, lol !!!!

[@markpenaflor6257]

Watching from philipines Keep it up broo 💪💪

[@stewartfindlay7782]

A thought you said in one of your last posts you were looking for rubber mating for the garage so if you dropped any heavy scrap it wouldn't chip the floor you should of taken that bit you found would of done for somewhere in the garage buddy.🙏👍

[@motomo5281]

Hope you got some rest after that haul. Stay well, my favorite scavenger

[@Derbyhobbiescrapper]

Great vid great finds mate
