[@hfsaid]

I'm addicted to the green scenery, the rain & the beautiful houses. And I enjoy watching a man support himself while having a positive effect on the environment. These vids are inspiring in many ways.

[@nelsonlauver]

I finally figured out why these videos are so addictive. Let's call it the "1849 Syndrome." It's the thought of hitting it BIG that makes us watch! 172k subscriber base can't be wrong. Taco stumbled into a corner of every brain that is obsessed with finding treasure. A simply brilliant peek inside a childhood dream that follows us all into old age...

[@TacoStacks]

Thanks Nelson!

[@alfonsowaldo6657]

You are absolutely right

[@kyrad6543]

You got that right! I attribute some of the success also to his formula. Daily content, video quality and the fact that his videos are just the right length (not too long to lose interest). Taco Stacks FTW!

[@jackiebd24]

Also Taco’s humble & easygoing personality.

[@micheleschneck8703]

If you are close to a VA hospital, they like VHS....no war or horror, since so many have PTSD. They love the Disney and westerns.

[@skaarup33]

Awesome idea 🤩🥰🤩

[@marylhere]

My son is visually impaired and likes VHS better than DVD. DVDs have a tendency to stall but sometimes they do have audio description.

[@poodlegirl55]

Good haul. I don't care how you pack the van, just throw it in while you're trying not to get hit by a car. The people saying that should walk a mile in your shoes.

[@lisagrafton2529]

Have you considered donating cruches , walkers, bedside camodes, and shower seats to the American legion so they can give them to people in need. Itd be smart, when you donate stuff like that, to give them a business card and/or flyer and ask if they know anyone who has scrap or things on your list that they were planning to throw away to call you. When you do a kindness, Leo will remember you.

[@skaarup33]

Awesome idea!

[@tebollenbacher]

Oh Taco. You must not have spent too many nights with a crying baby and no rocking chair. Believe me you don't care about condition of the chair as long as it works.

[@Ashley-ku7is]

Helping your neighbours take out the trash. Such a nice guy Stacks.

[@janedoe9421]

Taco I prefer your house over prefab any day...it has character and better built. Just my opinion, I like old houses🤗👍👍...those are floor rugs Taco! I don't even want to think what those magazines were😕...you didn't mention them so I'm guessing I'm right.😂😂

[@IsthatSew]

Seems like perfect stacking would take up valuable time. You have plenty of space but a limited amount of time and daylight. You know what you're doing. Don't listen to all this "stacking advice" you get.

[@skaarup33]

And there are other pickers and scrapers out there.

[@justjean222]

It’s your van and your channel stack it however you want......easy to be an armchair expert!❤️

[@gailmiller6333]

Just Jean. 👍👍👍. Thank you!

[@skaarup33]

So true. all those people who keep rag on Taco for his Stacking start their own channel where they can stack how they want. Who gives a f@ck how he does it, the important thing is he is doing it. He is doing way more than his share. The only thing is if there are breakables in the back, I get a little bit worried.

SCRAP SCORE! WHAT AN AWESOME DAY! Taco channels his inner Tetris... but then the scores come so fast, you have to just pile it in! if it Fits, it's all good! Thanks for taking us along, what an awesome day! Oh, and I'm with others: YOUR home is the one I would choose.

[@ethskinns]

You grabbed those magazines pretty quick Mr. Stacks haha

[@Rockwell19701]

Ethskinns is that what the smiley face was covering? Lol

[@skaarup33]

You noticed that as well? That made me laugh and I said out loud "You go Stacks!" People around me looked at me like I had lost it....🤪🥴🤪

[@ethskinns]

The cut between him looking in the box and then immediately putting the box in the van had me laughing pretty good. No disrespect intended at all

Taco your manners are impeccable - that’s what I like about you, you would go far in the U.K. with manners like that! And love how helpful you are, the old couple may well have needed a hand 😊

Rag rugs is what I've always heard them called. My mom actually made them when I was a kid.

[@kenberger859]

People have make rag rug sleeping mats from empty plastic bags to give to homeless.

[@lakelassie934]

People forget your number one priority is getting the items in the van quick and move on to the next house. Sometimes you are temporary parked, so being neat and stacking things just so would be a waste of time and snarl up traffic. Also a waste of your time, It is worth XX amount per hour and you can not waste it making the back of the van look nice and organized. If you did that you would pick up half the stuff you do in every town.

[@beverlyelliott1100]

You are the most considerate person putting things back where they were.

[@abayless3816]

2:06 VHS aren't they collectable? Especially Disney!

[@maryanderson7773]

Vid Vulture on you tube takes the crutches apart and gets clean aluminum for most of them. then the rest goes irony. Seems very quick to do.

Great video as always. Your one hard working person 👍

[@MidwestPicker]

Poor lady. "Do you know the genere? Any horror?", "I have free candy in my van" 😂

[@ldoiron18]

Seriously, what is with all the people who just through out crutches in the garbage. Why wouldn't they donate them to someone who needs them, such a waste.

[@user-kz4bs9sf5b]

Donate stuffs to Salvation Army, they are Better. Goodwill is not that much of Non profitable/ charity organization like before....prices are Ridiculously High. Try Other Places if you can. Bye

[@amyfisher6380]

Whenever you go trash picking, you can always count on finding at least one of the following: 1. Grill 2. Microwave 3. Mattress 4. Kid’s bicycle 5. And something that takes you a minute or two to decide if you want to take it or not. Even if you only get a few dollars for all those videotapes, that’s a few dollars you wouldn’t otherwise have.

Good afternoon Taco. I am always amazed to see what you pick up.The colorful pieces are rugs for your entrance. In french Canada our mothers and grand-mothers used to take old clothes , cut them in pieces and make those rugs.They where easy to clean and wash.You could keep them for a long time.

For the second time in a week I garbage picked this week! Same neighbor as last time. I spotted wood shutters...not the tiny white painted ones, but the big oak ones that were handmade for houses built before 1900. I know because my house has them. I haven't been able to check yet but I am hoping they will fit some of my windows. I got four sets. I had to pay $50/set for the ones I found for my house a decade ago. Nice score. Thank you for the inspiration, Taco.

I was watching a previous vlog where you bought a BUNCH of gloves at the auction in December. Did you ever find out those guard dog gloves sell for over $22 a pair) Amazon has a dozen for over $250!!! My point is, when you pick up something that feels higher quality, especially if it has a brand name on it, I'd advise you to Google the brand name. It took me less than a minute to get the info. I sure hope you didn't sell at 3 pair/$5, like you suggested in the van. You work too hard to let someone else take adv be a you didn't take the minute to Google search of co on Amazon. Happy hunting!

The smiley face over the playboy/hustler magazines killed me 😂😂😂. Depending on how old they are they should sell well for you.

[@joniferris8869]

Take a chance with the VHS tapes by selling them as a bundle on ebay, find out how much it costs for how many can fit in a flat rate box and like 25 cents a tape with the cost of shipping. If it is priced cheap it should sell out in no time!

[@mussman99]

Gee, i wonder what kind of magazines were in that box? 😂 The things you find while garbage picking!!

Did you save the crutches for yourself just in case you'd ever need a pair? The cost of crutches are expensive :(. I keep an old pair of wooden 1s around thank goodness no one has needed to use them.

You likely could attach some metal bins (maybe 2 ft. wide and up a bit on the interior) to the inside of your van for smaller items so they don't get squashed if you are going to resell them. Just an idea

[@KameraShy]

"Junk" VCR tapes? Don't be a critic. Different tastes. Every title has an audience. If they don't sell right off, then sale 4/$1 to move them. Shop vacs - in my experience it is the hose that goes first. They crack and break and are expensive to replace. Hose replacement costs almost as much as a whole new set.

[@mcscheck2000]

Dude that was a haul for the record books... Love that gear world clock - was is plastic?? The crutches are irony aluminum because of the iron pins dowels and screws that are in them... You can cut them out - usually doesn't take too long but if in a rush wtf... Great Day!!
