Thanks for taking us along thub.

[@Kreygore]

So awesome that you're back in the truck

[@chrisveejay]

When I started watching ur videos, I was just enjoying the trip with you. But now that I have got a truck and a store, and I go scrapping, I'm amazed at how fast you are. I would like to see your take on how you scrap a refrigerator or a spring mattress.

[@82gamerprincess31]

Now that it’s becoming more ubiquitous I would recommend getting a pair of pex pipe shears for the truck tools. Cuts through the stuff like butter.

[@richardwarnock2789]

Thubday Bingo you almost had all those Lady's about to Yell out "Bingo!!!"!!!; )😂

[@thepuzzledgoddess]

As a newbie subscriber, It was fun going for the trip with you. I love that it’s great for keeping things out of the landfill, making some money & keeping fit, as well. I love finding value in what’s often overlooked and learning about even more to be grateful for. There’s a feeling of added suspense not seeing the people (hopefully most people are good about it). To me all treasure is what’s found underneath the surface through discovery. Pure joy Thanks for the vids!

[@gravitybear]

Love the flower find! I'm also glad for more scrap bingo.

[@Trash_Cowboy]

Awesomeness as usual. I know its hard to keep items in storage to resell, but those metal kitchen cabinets were money for re purpose. Space is a premium so I completely understand you heaving them. Great video

[@ADDabbling]

Awesome finds today on the scrapping! Keep doing the thing, always awesome to watch.

[@Secondhandman52]

I need the American version of the Bingo

[@E-BikingAdventures]

I need the version where he actually shows us the bingo card and we know what's on it.

[@birdac2002]

Gratz on 100k Thub!

[@dawnagamble1549]

JUST SUBBED TO YOUR CHANNEL...VERY ENTERTAINING! I SAY YOU AND ,MIKE THE SCAVENGER ARE THE BEST SCRAPPERS OF KZbin!!👌

[@susananthony2366]

It would be interesting if they (Thub &Mike) swapped locations for a week.

[@richardball9724]

That kicthen was very high end

[@JacobafJelling]

14:45 dude. The amount i have singledhandedly thrown into the skip bin, before I started scrapping (thanks to yourself) Tons of it mate

[@johnchristie1423]

Another 100$ day is a WIN.......and the hidden bonus to come Yes a Al door take down would be worth it

[@xDutchCat2131]

Awesome finds dude! Wouldn't it be better for example if you get a trailer or get a Van like a ford transit? Maybe you'll have more space so you can take more on the go :D

[@mrMacGoover]

And when your in a dumpster and people ask (can I help you?) You say: (sure, hop in.. I could always use a extra set of hands)😉

[@paulcoenen7918]

Great video Thub , just what i like to see, a lot of us scrappers are progressing and learning right along with you and thanks to the folks giving us the facts about the modern megatrons in microwaves 👍

[@BushDogScrapper]

Those copper centers from the magnetrons I always think they look like a rim off of a truck haha

[@richavic4520]

Bet it's nice having all your accouterments available again

[@ThisCharminManc]

Possible suggestion for a new video. I’ve been collecting scrap for a while and I’ve got a decent understanding of separating metals but I’m almost clueless when it comes to wires. A lot of the videos I’ve watched are done so quick and don’t really explain why certain wires are in the category they are. Usually someone picks up a wire that you can’t tell from any other and they say that’s 40%. I’m sure lots of people are losing money by sorting their wires incorrectly.

[@tommymadden9746]

That's a. Good haul thub

[@RobertMiller-tv8xu]

That lazy susan metal cabinet is a great find. Those metal cabinets are collectable.

[@dr.a006]

I’m glad you have your truck again! And I’m glad I have mine back with a new transmission😃 Much better for hauling scrap!👍

[@jerremm]

Filler arc while the manga catches up

[@markrice3502]

i enjoy your videos alot hope you have a great day keep the faith and god bless

[@ihearDeadpeople]

I was collecting those bits of microwave copper in the magnetron until one day I was holding one and my finger felt tingly after holding it for me it's not worth the risk of chemicals or the possible radioactive contamination for such a small amount of money, but it was a good learning experience

[@trench124]

And the elephant in the room has been addressed 😂

[@mollynakamori]

Can't wait for the second channel to launch. "Hangin' With Thub - All Fillers, All the Time." Yeah? Just a thought.

[@williamralph8613]

Does sound good 👍

[@MrSubliminalStudios]

With steel prices so low, when I’m out collecting I make a point not to spend any time processing something that will get turned in as steel shred anyways. In my neighborhood, shreds still going for under 90 a ton, and my Silverado 1500 wouldn’t be happy if I loaded much more than 1700 pounds. I very much agree with something you said maybe a year or two ago, which is “the secret to making money scrap metaling, is more trips to the yard, more steel. The only way for that to happen is if you raise your standards for what steel you’re grabbing. If it ain’t ready to load, then you’re spinning your wheels. The only counter to that logic is that sometimes if you follow the little pieces of steel it will on occasion lead you to a good amount of non-ferrous at the bottom of the pile

[@Marshallpuppy]

Awesome video

[@bestest7239]

my hair can turn into a ball and i might keep it

[@jazzlicafan]

Love it

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

I was a little surprised you threw the Klipsch Flush Mount Speakers back.... If you're willing to sell stuff, try them at home. If they work, they are worth something.... That dumpster looked like a straight remodel... They probably worked... Anyways great job.

[@daleh645]

B I N G…O-No! 🤣 Twenty dollars in forty minutes equals thirty dollars and hour! Righteous bucks, Dude! God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@eveengineer4147]

What's the over under on how many times you can play dumpster bingo without actually getting a bingo? I can't wait for a truck project review video, including the scrapping of the parts truck.

[@Twelveoglock1]

Common thub W

[@alanwilliams2452]

Ya I'm laughing with you

[@zlatanmorrison8182]

I really like these scrap adventure videos, always fascinating to see what you come across Thub :) keep up the good work!

[@lavitikis100]

Don't you ever wonder how much you would get if you could scrap a roll off dumpster itself 😅. I do lol

[@thubprint]

Ohhhh ALL the time!! They’re rarely just tossed in the garbage for anyone to find though 😆

[@empirefinds]

Nice to have you back brother. What a great day at the office it was too.

[@spoon-6914]

I got 4, 2 inch 20footer copper pipes would it be better to cut it up for scrap or sell as whole? What’s better value wise

[@bentleyalder5492]

The little motor you found at 15:45 in the vid, is likely from a condensation pump. They are super easy to clean and are one if my favorite finds 😍

[@Home_Run_Kid72]

As a scale technican, who sells the And EJ series. You will find they will lose accuracy outside the manufacturer tolerance if the scale is not level. The bubble level that's in the left of the display is a good help. But your scale should not rock side to side when Weighing. Yes it is a digital scale, but the loadcell still sits under a subplatter. That can rub over time and weighments in the side of the scale housing. Just a heads up, love the channel

[@thubprint]

I appreciate the pointer! My digital scale is missing a foot, I’ve been hoping to find something that fits in the threaded hole but it’s been long enough I’ll probably just tape a few washers on there and call it good

[@GeraldBlack1]

You need a pet raccoon/mascot lol.

[@mr.zardoz3344]

You are so much fun!

[@andyprigge4754]

Hey Thub. I live in southern ontario. People used to put all kinds of metal stuff on the curb but not anymore. I have not found a microwave in more than a year now. During the cough cough a few years ago when people were getting all kinds of money from the govt there was tons of stuff. Now. Nothing. What say you? There is a scrapyard down the street and am wondering if the guy is going around with his truck very early in the morning. Last Sunday there was a small freezer down the street and half an hour later it was gone. Also in the industrial areas people look at you suspiciously even when there is nothing to find. Go figure. I guess the economy is better in Alberta. And you have coal in the foothills that you can dig up by hand to keep warm in the winter if things get tough. Not here. Anyway love your videos you seem like a kind person. Oh just to end this rant. We have empty bottles and cans lying on the ground everywhere because there is no deposit on them. Again go figure. Then they have the nerve to say there is too much plastic in the environment. Ontario sucks but I am a prisoner here.

[@thubprint]

I guess it comes and goes, I wouldn’t want to rely exclusively on found scrap for my sole income. Not sure what the financial climate is like out there but albertans are getting hit pretty hard with natural gas bills and grocery hikes. I guess anyone who took the CERB months off would be back hunting full time by now in any case. Interesting thought on the coal though! I’ve found heaps of the stuff myself on hikes, but I think it needs to be cured or processed somehow first

[@andyprigge4754]

Thanks for the reply. I think it needs to be washed and some coal is high in sulfur so that would have to be removed. Possibly through filtration or a chemical reaction. Have a great Thanksgiving..........AndyO...........@@thubprint

[@ewa8723]

Have you ever tried primitive casting? I mean like making a clay crucible and melting copper/bronze?

[@pxv990]

If you were following Tin man scrapper you would know how much copper there is in magnetron 😁

[@andrewcannon587]

i heaved ~ 40 of those magetron core as scrap steel. I guessed the cost of time, and wear on cutting wheel not worth it. However, it was good that thub showed how to cut them and what's inside.

[@thubprint]

I’m glad folks pointed them out to me! I’m still just going to crack microwaves to check the transformer and put the rest in steel, but it’s good to know

[@andrewcannon587]

@@thubprint i wish scrap buyer has a category for dirty copper, like they do for dirty aluminum and copper/aluminum radiators. Then it worth the time to accumulate them for scraping out

[@thubprint]

@@andrewcannon587 I’m sure they do! Mine would just put it under “copper bearing motor-40%” or something

[@kamuranozgen300]

Hi there, i am folowing you from Turkiye and you are doing very good job. But i dont understand that why you ignore the ceiling lights units which have lots of copper wire and transformer in them?

[@geoffreytotton1983]

Thanks people would dump rubbish at one place I worked at I got aluminium shelves Lead flashing a stainless steel plate Plus all the scrap brass Copper and aluminium From worn out equipment dumped by Customers

[@jaymassy9395]

Good luck on your ventures, I like you content.

[@JacobafJelling]

6:34 you are mate 🇩🇰

[@hackedbyzachxd8179]

In sted of. Car rowder make it any car part!!

[@Ydnar1155]

15:20 that matress is covered in bed bug stains. Watch out!

[@mrMacGoover]

Wait... wasn't the engine in this truck blown?

[@thedwindles]

Now that you have the truck back, why don't you pick up more shred, like that fan? Shred ads up very quick and is a very consistent way to make money. 1-3 loads of shred a day, $25-$100 each load is what shred will do.

[@sciencerulesgaming9004]

Take tvs because they have gold in them

[@newname2600]

I've watched you from the beginning. Hate to be that guy, but the grinder should have a guard, if it doesn't have a guard, don't wear gloves. If your hand /fingers get pulled in the material from the gloves will keep your hand in the disc. I've seen this happen.

[@hackedbyzachxd8179]

1 like for him = 1 lb on brass

[@alanwilliams2452]

Break the thing it in the garbage

[@newname2600]

The cost of that Yellow bin rental is not really worth the price of the steel. It was probably just garbage.

[@collectortherapy]

Does anyone care that you go into their dumpsters? I've gone by some but I can't bring myself to check it out. Do you ask first?

[@alanwilliams2452]

You acted like your scared to get into a dumpsrerso? Do you have to stay away 50 yards from a school hahaha

[@patrothwell9138]

Not high on the Bingo thing bud

[@phil_bill4543]

Do the cops ever give you shit for jumping in the dumpsters? One fellow Canadian to another.

[@thubprint]

Actually no! Although I don’t do it in front of them lol

[@alanwilliams2452]

I'm going to o give you a bad time that's just me and I'm that way with everyone in around and work with

[@thedwindles]

Shred all day, everyday. That's where the consistent money is at.

[@nathanhansen1213]

Can someone tell me why he keeps calling people pandas

[@thubprint]

It’s a colloquial term for raccoons, some of us call them “trash pandas” At this point it’s just a habit, you make a couple hundred videos and you’re likely to reuse the same opening line eventually

[@E-BikingAdventures]

Not much fun for the viewer when we can't see the bingo card or know what's on it.

[@Uriahheep1975]

Just scrap, my man. Not interested really in some games. We wonder why yu keep doing that. Just scrap. No theatrics. We love when you struck a good haul. Be simple.

[@killjoy987987]

Only thing worth saving on a microwave is the cord, everything else is scrap

[@tamgata9064]

wish i could dislike twice for you leaving those windows there out of the frame. gives scrappers a bad name

[@dglass411]

THUB!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 I have tried a good few times to reach you!! I just need to ask a quick question. I sent you a message on Facebook too, either way lol I would love to just have a few minutes of your time! PRETTY PLEASE!! 😊

[@Trash_Money]

That little copper from a microwave is a waste of time. Not worth a cutting wheel

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

Especially as it right next to a component that if broken will batter your life span lol

[@jorojinnomad549]

if it's Hobbie, got nothing to do and you just pile it up .... instead of just watching nextflit.... all that little copper adds up.... I'm sitting on piles and piles... almost at 1000 pounds in 2 years... I smelt them into bars and its an investment metal more and more with prices rising...

[@joshuamorris9050]

Just put a dust mask on… only the old microwaves have the beryllium anyway

[@LogosBKC]

I hit like on your comment but i also disagree to some extent. If you have free time at all and free time that no one else could be paying you for while copper prices are low but certain to rise in 1-2 years then i could argue youd be doing yoursf a service. In the sense of buying low and selling high or long term savings. If today youre making nothing but tomorrow you’re effectively doubling you’re value vs inflation then its worth considering.
