Dumpster Diving "Animal Ashes"

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!

Am I the only one who uses tricks I learned from Mike's videos to help me lift heavy stuff without injuring myself? I've used the step up technique more than a few times.

[@samanthasimental3788]

I'm 60 and the other day I was able to load a desk into an SUV using the step up method. I said thanks Mike out loud my 91 year old dad thinks I'm going crazy.

[@hoktang1]

Don’t worry, parents always think we’re crazy regardless how old we get

[@noneyabeeswax3200]

I hear Mikes voice in my head

[@TheTorkerman]

Been using the step up to load big firewood rounds in my ute 👍🏼 works a treat

[@NLPHow]

@@noneyabeeswax3200 "Gotta be strong!"

[@donlandenberg8126]

Way to go Mike! Thanks for keeping all that ish out of the landfills. Thanks for taking us along.

[@John.Flower.Productions]

Not to worry, the hole that that material was mined from is larger than the landfill. That is how it works.

[@daynahammel4612]

Get ‘em Mike! Happy Father’s day weekend!

[@rebeccawebster3556]

You know when Mike struggles with lifting stuff, it's REALLY heavy!! 💪

[@vickiesmith230]

I always hold my breath and lift with my mind when you do that stuff.❤❤😮

[@jhood758]

I catch myself doing the same thing holding my breath and a little grunt too.

[@noneyabeeswax3200]

I like when you can tell Mike is just about to cave then he throws that very last bit of effort in I know he does it for us fans he gives it all every dive

[@robertschwartzman195]

Hey Mike, Thanks for the video. I look forward to the adventures of what you find out there. Have a Happy Father's day with your family and pups.

[@meruliouslacrimens5154]

[@joannefazenbaker1448]

Wow, I was rooting for you. You were getting tired, but prevailed! Betty White's such a trooper!

[@Jpassione58]

That’s some good money in those cylinders. All I keep thinking is they would make a great log splitter.😂😂😂

[@kimberly1273]

Yes! It's Mike! ❤🎉

[@davewardlaw9956]

Mikey is on a mission when the music starts 😎👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@motomo5281]

Love the superhero music while lifting the heavy stuff!

[@saulsscrappersdelight8875]

I watch you religiously Mike!

[@oyet72863]

Me too,I have a notification bell when he uploads video.He is the best

[@dcummings7253]

Me too. But he really needs to research those new parts. I worked in a hydraulic repair shop. Those cylinders are worth a couple thousand each.

[@lovin_nature_adventures9050]

Glad to see you back on the grind Happy Father's Day to you and members

[@Jpassione58]

I always say I’m just going to watch a couple of minutes of this video and end up watching the whole damn thing. I do this stuff for a hobby and it just fascinates me to think you can actually make a living at it.😂

[@PatriciaCrager-q2k]

Boy you sounded like you were on your last leg! Scavenging must be hard work at times but am proud that you care enough to not to let it go to the dump. ❤

[@peggysmith5202]

Great video. Thanks for showing how much u get for all ur hard work. I learn a lot. Very inspiring.

[@Julie-se4wg]

Love your energy.❤

[@darrenpautzke3795]

Thank you for showing us what you make drone the scrap yard. You rock peace to you.

[@samanthasimental3788]

Towards the end you had me at the edge of my seat trying to help. 😂😂😂

[@kathyshowalter529]

Happy Father's day that was 😎

[@bigjarn]

There are enough guys on KZbin that save and service big equipment you should be able to market that stuff for hundreds more than the scraps worth!

[@toddj9794]

My backs hurting just from watching you

[@dianewilliams1125]

The dramatic music was intense! 😮😮😮

[@monkigrl11]

Making my Saturday right. Much love from Louisiana ❤❤

[@richavic4520]

Even before Mike got to those valves and cylinders I was thinking that this was going to be one of those loads that was going to be heavier than it looks. Gotta be strong!

[@robertprelewitz4511]

Probably 10 grand in hydraulic equipment easy!!!

[@dennislamers986]

Mike you got ASHED! Dang that's a great workout.

[@Pandora_369]

😊Mike, Betty White said she'd like to have a small winch installed so she can be more involved in the scrap game. Help a girl out, will you? 😊 Thanks for a great scrapping day! Happy Father's day!

[@nanalefevre3670]

Morning Mike, happy hunting.😊

[@lia-liz2012]

[@keithinman6379]

Those cylinders are for spaceship doors,they help keep the doors closed during high speed flight

[@AirelKramer]

[@carmenbunag4487]

Happy Father's Day, Mike, dad, brothers, n to other members of your family n Laura( but I call her "Laurie" when I joined your contest to name your new truck but my family loves Betty White n it's fine w all of us🙏🏻♥️😊🥰🙋🏻👌

[@vickyowens4064]

WOW that was a heavy load!! You certainly got your work out!!! Happy Fathers Day!!

[@kandiwolfe1125]

HOLY SHEEP DIP, MIKE!! You never cease to amaze me doing what you do to gather some of these weird shaped, very heavy and odd industrial pieces and parts to scrap! Good to see that you are of the generation that can use your own mind and body to get shi£ done on your own rather than depend upon a computer for the thought only! HAVE A GREAT REST OF 6OUR WEEKEND WITH YOUR LOVELY WIFE AND THOSE ADORABLE HOUND FRIENDS OF YOURS!!💜🩵💜🩵💜🩵💜

[@bettyferguson2815]

Wow, just wow.

[@carolinespeed4952]

I love watching you mts

[@mabloodhound]

Those cylinders are worth $ hundreds of dollars each. Worth looking into.

[@filipeomartins]

Mike sell for $15 only one! Im sure one in the scrap yard gonna have Pizza for dinner. 🍕😁

[@Ricky-r4r]

10 to 25 thousand $

[@jrand2631]

Can you say 1000s of $ each. Hydraulic cylinders doesn't come cheap, and they looked brand spanking new - probably from a company going out business. The problem is to find out what kind of machine/equipment they'll fit.

[@Димитрий-м3г]

These cylinders can destroy the galaxy!

[@jamesjr5500]

Also how would you sell them seems like any company would be hesitant to buy them? Some guy rolls up with thousands of dollars worth of stuff he "found" they would assume they are stolen and not touch it or possible call the cops on him. He has the video to prove it but don't think he wants that kind of hassle.

[@DavidMckinney-mn5se]

Happy Father's Day😊

[@jenesisjones6706]

Crico on a pogo stick Mike! You just about gave me a hear attack with that animalistic roar! 🤣

[@douglasdeans2839]

That's a real workout!

[@tinableakmore6011]

Epic and Hercules moment. BW and Mike, Wow!

[@mimiprays8288]

[@robertsmith7580]

Really freakin awesome video Mike

[@fredswanson156]

Hey there mike. Hope your family doing well.

[@jamiekatz7591]

That item you were looking at in the plastic tube was a pen torch, pretty cool actually if you do small soldering stuff, made of brass and aluminum.

[@susanrichards4844]

OMG! You’re a rock star!❤

[@vivianbrett3782]

Love love love ❤

[@dixiepittenger3960]

was watching a rerun of your videos when this one popped up

[@barbaramccarney1445]

Gee Mike by the grace of God you didn’t kill yourself unloading those cylinders! I held my breath and prayed the whole time! I don’t know much about the price of that stuff but I sure hope it was worth it. I am a long time subscriber and tell everyone about you! I hope you have a great Father’s Day! Love to you and your family!! 💖

[@eagleeyes5638]

Greetings Mike. This was an amazing adventure. Thanks for sharing&passing knowledge and blessings forward. God bless your family. ❤❤❤

Looks like the rope could’ve been your new pet snake!

[@ağırtonajharfiyattırlarısever]

Merhaba güzel video olmuş

[@josephhammond5219]

Mike, you could have sold those pumps and rams to a heavy equipment repair shop for tons. Even if they needed to be rebuilding. Brother, I understand this is content for your videos. You've gotten me through some ruff times, Brother. I pray God blesses you and your family.

[@judiththomas2258]

Love the crocs! 😂Watch them toes Mike! Awesome scores.

[@kmclane12]

The Beast! Is at it again! Great haul! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️

[@TonyTee.151]

You’re like Arthur Fonzerelli when he hits the jukebox my man

[@HoneyBee-c4q]

Mike You might want to check with your local tractor places and see what they would have paid you for the pumps as cores. My husband thinks it would have been hundreds even as cores. Enjoy watching your videos to see what you'll find next. Hope you and your family are well.

[@elainephleps4705]

The little sample window, I found one at a Thrift Store and used it too replace a window in my garage.just the right size.

[@jolielaine2639]

Another great vid. Keep up the great work n have a great father's day.

[@cliffowens4890]

The best scrapper on KZbin 💪🏼
