Scrap Metal Recycling - Scrap Consultant Returns!

Fun scrap adventures! Made a new friend doing something we've always wanted to do, maybe we should try it out ourselves? Then went on to help an old friend clean up the scrap metal heap in his yard. It sure is nice to have a proper space to scrap in haha!

No apologies needed.. keep doing YOUR thing as you see fit.. we will still be here. Hang in there buddy, you got this. Looking forward to the next one...

I grew up on the US/Mexican border and one of my first jobs in my late teens was working outside in some pretty severe heat. I kept showing up without lunch, I was too broke, an old Mexican man I was working with took pity on me one day and gave me a mango. I had drank a lot of mango juice before then, but had never held a whole mango before. My coworker didn’t speak any English, but kept motioning for me to eat the mango. I didn’t know what I was doing so I took a bite out of it like an apple, chewing peel and all. Honestly I was so hungry and overheated I didn’t care how bitter the peel was, just that the mango was cool, tasty, and hydrating. The coworker and his friends laughed as I dug into that mango like a caveman, probably similarly to your hot springs experience. I’ll never forget that man’s kindness, and have had a fondness for mango ever since.

I can't imagine the pressure maintaining a YT channel adds to surviving everyday business ownership challenges Thub (not even add in everyday life challenges) But I'm pretty sure the majority of your 100k viewers watch you because you present the type of work you do in a uniquely intelligent and humorous way. And anyone who 'gets it' is not going to be impatiently tapping a foot like a spoiled child demanding to watch a video at an exact day and time. So if a video is taking its time coming together I wouldn't mind a throwback. Hey many of us grew up on 3 tv channels and no clicker, loving summer reruns cause it was what it was! Give yourself a break - catch you breath cause we love and support you Thub.

[@its_marc]

Surprised you’re only at 100k, you’re always very entertaining, helpful and knowledgeable. Keep doing the thing mate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@noddynoodle7060]

Hey Thub we all lose ourselves occasionally and need to take time out to re-centre. Never feel bad about that, it's an essential part of who we are. Spread the love.

[@kevinritchie9227]

Man, you have a life and sometimes that life is more important than us watching a video. Take your time and come back refreshed and excited!

[@michaelmccoy3996]

Thub - the last part of your video rang so true with me... I completely understand how overwhelming life/scrap life can be. YOU hang in there and keep doing you!!! I REALLY ENJOY watching your journey and look forward to each and every one you put out. Mental breaks are good! Good luck and keep up the grind! I Feel your pain and appreciate your passion!!! Keep the fire going - Mike

I watched every second. At normal speed. And I loved it. Persevere Thubby

[@vincedibona4687]

Always fun watching a couple guys sitting around & talking trash. Literally. 😃

[@georgerodolakis6524]

I love your channel. This year seems to be the year of challenges. Your videos always bring me joy especially now that I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I am blind in one eye now but continue to scrap as it allows me to relax, recycle and raise money for charity. Chin up, continue to fight the good fight.

[@thubprint]

Thank you for the encouragement! And the perspective, that’s one thing I need to keep in mind. Not to diminish the things I find difficult but I still have so much to be grateful for, there are many things that happen to all kinds of people that would be much more difficult. Thank you for sharing and I wish you the best on the good days and the hard ones 💙

[@omar_padilla]

Thank you for your hard work to bring us content. I love coming home every Friday night from work getting my dinner ready and sit in front of my TV to watch your videos.

[@eveengineer4147]

Honestly, if you waited a couple weeks until the truck was running to do the 100k sub special , I think it might be better that way. There is just something uniquely satisfying about seeing you throw everything metal out of bins with no concerns about the space it takes up. But whatever you decide I'm sure the 100k special and all other upcoming videos will be awesome.

[@unklejohn8575]

Thub, those heavy duty casters might go to those flat filing cabinets in the back that you climbed on. I’ve never heard of a shower orange, but I have heard of a shower beer. Those are great while showering off after a sweaty day in the yard.

[@matt2244]

I think I know the hot spring you're talking about never been but friends have they say it's beyond amazing.

[@dublentzcharles6394]

I love the video’s. I love the stories. I love the personality u put into this. I love when u share the little bit of personal life stories because it reminds people that we all have problems to and through all that u still push on and keep making videos✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

[@allfather5150]

Keep being you. I follow you because of your positivity and outlook, the scrap content is quality but secondary. Every time I'm having a bad week you drop a barrel of awesome on me and I love it.

[@magalhaes9023]

With the BBQ regulars you can clean them up by putting it in a vice and pop it open, check for any other metal and you have the clean cast aluminum

[@daleh645]

Life happens, we all hit rough patches now and then and I know things do get better! ✌🏼 I enjoyed watching you help your friend, not boring at all. 👍 Shower orange…when I was younger we went all animal on watermelons so I know the feeling! 🤣 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@kellymorgan2273]

Take your time. Doesn't bother me none. I watch you for the content, being different than anything else on KZbin, candid content is super rare. It feels like I just get the privilege of watching you going through scrap, not the other way around. Keep it that way. Take as much time off as you need, I will always instantly click on one of your videos when they come out.

[@DianaRea-nv8zc]

This was really a fun adventure. Thanks

[@reedschmidt7275]

Asked for more videos with you helping friends and this was great. Love seeing you help your friends. You are an amazing dude and I love your videos. You got me into scrapping and gave me all the knowledgeable i have now in scrapping. I owe you tons. Videos like this of you being real and vulnerable are awesome. We all support you tons. Hang in there. This year ain't over yet.

[@williammeeks1283]

I appreciate all the positive energy you give us in your content even though you're overwhelmed at times with all the negative energy life throws at us. Thanks for allowing me inside an awesome part of your life. Keep doing the thing for all of us!

[@the1pow]

quick tip..If you ever come across the TV cables again, you can take 1 strand of copper from the wire and pull on it to strip the case off instead of fiddling with a knife.

The clutches for lifting 12.40 minutes in. The 5tone ones are $450 each here in Australia. That's your money back right there👍👍

[@Wreck-Gar]

I'm glad you realise you need rest and to gather yourself together. Towards the end of the video I picked up that you sounded like me when I didn't understand what was happening to me. I'd gone through years of crap at work, nearly lost our son at birth, had a sudden and devastating death in the family and I ended up having a breakdown. It took me just over ten years to get myself back on track. I still have wobbles now and then. Please look after yourself, maybe even talk to a professional or close friend and let it all spill out, that really helps ❤🙂

[@thubprint]

I actually have been meeting with a therapist and got myself a family doctor, decided it was probably time to pay attention to my well-being if I was gonna be any good to anyone else haha Sounds like you went through quite a few challenges yourself. I’m sorry you had to face all that at once, hope things are pretty good these days 💙

[@Wreck-Gar]

Mental reset at the hot springs sounds ideal. Time alone is always good to unwind. Challenges make us stronger, so when the next challenge comes along we feel more confident to get through it. Thanks, bro.!

[@ericprater4017]

Great Job Thub! Keep on doing the thing!

[@cocopufer5667]

I think the key to those big sea cans is gonna be just like storage units. When you first start going through you need to set out 3 huge tarps and get a bunch of buckets or bins so you can have a garbage pile, metals recycling pile, and a research for possible sale pile - sort as you go! Otherwise your gonna spend hours just cleaning up and chasing all and re sorting all the loose screws bolts and stuff COCO OUT. Seriously though I would love to see a thub storage unit video!!!

[@cocopufer5667]

oh and i like the talky talky parts - gonna try that shower orange trick.

find the high bias cassetes they sell as gold in the used market, also authentic cassetes are nice money

[@justanothermeltingchannel]

This was an awesome video to watch. I’ve learned over the last few weeks of starting to learn how to scrap that this is a major application of patience and taking time. And this shows it. Absolutely loved it. In terms of what you talked about at the end of the video, there are more of us who understand than I think you realize. All you need to do is take time to get your head right and continue to be you.

[@OriginalNethead]

An endless sea of desks. During lockdown that would have been coining gold in these parts! Now...landfill. It sounds like life's gotten a little nuts up there. Comfortable temperatures unlike here, but a little nuts.

Where are you? I live near Calgary and checked a while ago: Bond (white office stuff) that is CLEAN (no mixed) will fetch a few hundred, but the other grades like newsprint and cardboard are so low it shocked me - something like $25/ton. All must be dry too, which can be an issue for saving/storing/sorting etc., few people have the extra space for this. I was told he prices swing quite a bit year by year.
