You are the strongest and most hardworking scrapper I have ever seen.

[@tjdacatlady1920]

OMG and WOW, the piles you stopped at today! I don't think anything was missing except maybe a hot water heater tank? Sheesh. I bet you are truly knackered after this scrap session of maybe just over 2 hours? Even with scrap prices going down, between your docket and resale...CONGRATULATIONS Poly. I am so jealous and envious. Here in Tulsa, Oklahoma if we have any bulky item pickups we have to schedule it and pay $10.00 for the privilege of the City picking up and disposing of it. I so wish we had piles to dig through like you do in Australia. Thanks for sharing this truly Epic Win video. I can't put a price on the entertainment you have provided me,, a disabled person. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to create/ record/edit/upload your videos and sharing your scrapping adventures with us. Love you lots babe. All the best to you and your lovely family. (Sorry for the wall of text...LOL 😆 😂)

I love your channel Poly Prophet ❤️❤️❤️

[@MickJ666]

Bro,I think youd benefit from a dedicated wire container in the ute, one that a bit tall like a bin with removable plastic part. As your ute fills up a shallow container quickly and it soon gets lost under your goodies so I think my idea would help you out a bit 😁💪 also maybe fit bike racks to the sides of the trailer so you can carry pesky bikes without them being in the way 😁🤩 Also brother, start testing all the bike rims for alloy as you would be surprised how many are and how quick you would build them up 😁💪 Canadian treasure hunter proved that on his channel 😁

[@PolyProphet]

Some great tips here Mick! Taller bin definitely. Thanks mate 👍👍

Wow Poly your getting very lucky just lately, more of the non ferrous. Good pay dirt right there alone.

A great vid mate, well done.

Hey mate that was a hell of a scrap today I think that's the best one I've seen from you you hit a little bit of everything and I think it was done in the fewest stops that I've ever seen you stop at. You went there for the bungee cords in the future if you need a cord and you don't have them with take one of the electric cords and use that to tie stuff up least till you get to the scrap yard then when you take it off you still got the cords. Love the videos man they're helping me get through my difficult time right now keep them coming I'm so jealous of you that you get to do something so wonderful that I love to do and I can't do it right now so keep them coming dude and stay safe.

You will find bikes easier to stack if the handlebars and front wheel all run parallel, just put the wheel between your knees and twist the bars parallel.
