Dumpster Diving "Times Are Tuff"

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!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

One of things I like best about your videos is the fact you wear the head light which make your videos much better to watch. This allows you to use both your hands which gives the fastest hands in Texas

[@delaynejackson5449]

I laughed out loud when you dropped that cpr baby. 😂😂 You are the funniest scrapper ever, keep up the great work.

[@jeanafoster2315]

A sonnet is basically a poem that tells a story

[@robwhitfield6936]

I was in tears with laughter when you dropped the CPR baby doll.🤣🤣

[@brianleitch9910]

free game on everything next to a dumpster that goes for those 4 rims as well

[@bradbrinkley8349]

I get so into these vids I suddenly look up expecting to be in the dumpster...😂 my first time ever dumpster diving I was 7 and I recently decided to give it a try after many years. I’m 34 now and it’s cause of you mike. You tha man man

[@mikeg5066]

[@reedsoper8096]

It’s nice that dumpsters have those convenient foot holds.

[@satanloses]

A fourteen mans shoe done fit …. 😂 Guess how I know 😊

[@irishrebel1976]

Thanks a lot Mike, I had to order pizza with some "garlic knots" since you said it 47 times and put it in my brain.

[@Muscles_McGee]

I bet those were still fresh enough for human consumption. They looked good.

[@ThePurpleSquirrel]

Watching you use those two brushes to comb through the garbage makes me suggest that you use a hand held three pronged rake of sorts used for gardening.

[@MrShekoexile]

I've got one of those on a stick. One of the best tools I've ever made for DD

[@superchuck3259]

The white Cisco things were Wireless Access points. Even if old, they are cool unless burnt out.

[@randallhartley1959]

Who knew dumpster diving could be so popular. Saw that girl last week hit 100 in one day. Couldnt stop watching. Amazing Mike

[@nedasher116]

She does it full time

[@evriellesmith6659]

Dumpster diving is one way to help the rest of us stay on this planet a little longer. Taking those Rims may have given you 3 hots and a cot Keep on keeping on Mike some things are cool and some things aren't

[@Muscles_McGee]

When it rains you can: * Tear down something like a big motor or a ballast etc * Drive around curbside, or look on Craigslist, Freecycle, Facebook groups, etc for curb alerts- go direct to the scrap no waiting * Do a project like build a scrapping work table, etc etc Lots to do to keep the peeps chappy ( :

[@bifaith100]

im just an air conditioning man... but.. a "sonet" is a form of poetry... like a poem...`````.mike the scavenger..scavenger mike.... he digs thru the dumpsters and thats what i like````

[@williambeetz1260]

You really work hard for your money. I sure admire you for that.

[@Cantoscav]

I dont even scrap but I was walking to the store and passed a bog ol open top on my way to the store. I hopped up to look and it was full of wire and metal studs. I took pics and sent it to the guy who takes my pallets and metal junk from cleaning out the church building. Gotta be lookin out for eachother

[@garysoykin2783]

I dig the side boards on your truck I like them because they’re not all fancy painted no that kind of Ferrari type stuff Cool stuff bro keep up the great videos

[@luvambrosia]

[@patrickblock2477]

[@chuckclark9464]

I retired fireman you can scrap that extinguisher you just have to make sure it's empty and twist the top off and it's safe it's nothing to do it's easy.

[@VibinBryan]

also some places wont take them unless theyte cut up or flattened

[@joseebedard3180]

I always look forward to your new videos 📹! May you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!☃️☃️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄☃️☃️

[@paul.j.macdonald]

Love your videos, you're a very entertaining person to watch. Keep it up.

[@LizaTerraASMR]

Have you ever thought about making a scrap drawer system for dottie? Merry Christmas

[@connieadams607]

little song The word sonnet comes from the Italian sonetto, meaning “little song.” The origin makes sense, since the first sonnets were developed by the Italian poet Petrarch. But the sonnet form we are most familiar with today is Shakespearean.

[@elizabethcastro3612]

Hafa Adai from Guam and Happy Holidays 🎄🤗🌞🌴love your clips be safe

[@shrtctc814]

Mike what will do you with the gold fish display? I am always interested in any slot machine stuff?

[@shannongreer6175]

Mike : Gotta keep that juice at the bottom- ooooo a fan... SPLUNK 😂

[@Thehuntinghillbilly2]

You crack me up..”what up dumpster” lol. You need to add a “grabber” to your tools for getting that small stuff out of a dumpster.

[@tonistillions1058]

Oh Mike, the candle was still good to use. Save the candles Garage Sale!!!! Everyone like candles!!!!!!!

[@rebacunningham3773]

Lots of good scrap..your such a hard worker mike.. 😊😊😊

[@ryemacdougall9716]

The Schitt's Creek motel is not that far from my hometown here in Ontario Canada and it was put up for sale

[@michaelcycyk5757]

here by request some curbside scavenging!! please good sir

[@AndyHullMcPenguin]

17:06 "What are these?" They look like once very expensive(?) Cisco wireless access points to me. Possibly the Aironet 1140 series... If so, they are End of life in terms of support, but they probably work just fine, even after their short flight from the dumpster to the truck.

[@sellison2192]

I love how we all look at it and see different things. I would have been going crazy about the fire extinguisher. That was the gem of that load. Clean it up get it recharged and either keep it or sell it and make about 75 bucks on 1 item. When I was scrapping I was always looking for those big items to make all the littles worth it.

[@evelynrochelle4695]

Thank you mike for the video. Love them. Evelyn from texas.

[@lorand-edmondiszlai9416]

you can always teach children and adults how to use a fire extinghisher, with this kind of expired ones.... always fun.

[@shadetreecatfishing5729]

You can sell the tank from the co2 fire extinguishers on e-bay people make bells from them.

[@rebeccacrone8864]

The CPR people make great Halloween decorations.

[@andrewpowell6457]

Merry Xmas Mike

[@truthhurtsu2]

Lord have mercy I laughed until I cried! You're hilarious and I needed a laugh today

[@inge6280]

Lol, if Jeff only knew….😂

[@offwithhishead2556]

The Goldfish looks like Mr. Scrappity's Bob!

[@daewooparts]

@10:57 should have taken the aluminum tray that had the garlic knots in it ,those trays in bulk add up ,I scrap the ones that we go thru quite quickly

[@cindyrodriguez7982]

I go around saying Snippets 😁 It’s catchy 😂

[@melvinyoung3474]

Extinguishers may be discharged and the top cut off with a angel grinder (soft metal)for recycling. Halon extinguishers are discharged under a water mis and CO2 is d. into the air while pointing nozzle away from face, wind at your back.

[@kimberlyspink183]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Mike

[@amethystwinter1977]

SONET stands for Synchronous Optical Network.

[@troyderoinjr6926]

This text covers IP packets directly on a SONET transport, and direct-to-fiber interfaces without SONET. It offers detailed examples of SONET deployments, plus a chapter on SONET vendors with key analysis of products available. Is what I got from the net to

[@connieadams607]

a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line.

[@harveylong5878]

washer hoses, just cut off the crimped part pull out the rubber liner. I get clean SS for washer hoses, kitchen/bath and toilet supply lines that way

[@kevinmonroe6769]

Mike your a fool for leaving those rims you've taken stuff that was beside the dumpster before

[@campervan-john]

The next scrapper will take those rims

[@saulsscrappersdelight8875]

Mike is not a fool, he is smart by protecting his diving area and his reputation, he is a good human being.

[@toddoughty2043]

Mike should have a website dedicated to selling "spaceship parts"

[@susandilts5411]

Glad you're back.

[@carlreed2558]

HEY MIKE FANS "HE'S BACK"!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davegravitt210]

The other guy scrapping grabbed those aluminum rims.

[@AlejandroBosque]

Those white square plastic Cisco boxes you tossed into the back of your truck are Cisco Access Points and used are worth at least 20 bucks each!!! let's hope they survived the trip ...

[@stephenodell4973]

Can mike do more curbside scavenging pls

[@jackjacke4654]

You should bring a drill n knock some holes in those dumpsters Mike. Dang...

[@mikesminecraftminecrafter1530]

It’s okay about the candle melt it and add some of that cod oils in it and you will have a smelly candle lmao

[@TheFishingNet]

Well done Mike

[@janisgriboniks4891]

[@dave3657]

The slot machine stuff would be great yard sale items. Many people who play might like them in their bar or game room.
