[@thelissaharris8033]

Not sure how I missed this one..now I remember.... Glad I found it. Thank you.

[@thubprint]

It was waiting for you whenever you had the time 😊 Though I do think I need to adjust the playlists on the home page, you’re not the first person to mention how they get lost sometimes

[@printsalbert3211]

Glad to see you again Thub

[@eagleeyes5638]

Greetings Thubprint. You've been missed. AWESOME/PRICELESS to see you again,yippee. Thank you for sharing,passing knowledge/blessings forward. GOD BLESS you and your family. PLEASE be CAREFUL out there getting those treasures. Be safe,healthy &blessed always

[@thubprint]

Thank you! I’ll keep doing my best, and all the best to you and yours too ☺️

[@noob_gaming1491]

Hey Thub! I also collect bottles and cans. The recycling days around my areas are Wednesday and Thursday, but I go on the day before at night. I usually make $80 each night and I use a big bike to bike around. I attach 4 bags usually. It takes 5 hours, and now is the perfect time to go because it gets dark a lot earlier.

[@thubprint]

That sounds about right! Good on you for hustling on a bike too!

[@bacallado1]

Good to see you back primo

[@springsy6210]

you are such a nice guy thub.

[@johnnunley8262]

Love the videos, just keep being you and the rest will fall into place.

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Don't dwell on being locked out of that trash room - when one door closes, another opens! Most people spend too much time looking at the closed door with regret and don't spend enough time trying new doors! There's my worldly philosophy for the day! 😁

[@thubprint]

That’s a perfect way to look at it, thank you 😊

[@geofft3214]

Always good to hang out with you Thub!

[@thubprint]

You’re a gem ☺️

[@cdcVintage]

You replied to one of my comments one time and said I was a legend. I think YOU are a legend my dude!!!

[@thubprint]

Hey I’m just doing my best 😆

[@pmack8018]

Yay!!! I love watching your videos. Do miss the trash picking videos. Glad to see this one. Can't wait to see more of them. Your other videos are good to but love the bottle picking and treasures you manage to find. Thanks for the videos 👍

[@thubprint]

Thanks for the encouragement! Still trying to find the balance lol

[@pmack8018]

@@thubprint I know for me, I like seeing the wondering around and random talking. Even like when you did the stampede breakfast video and other out and about videos. I live in the states so I kinda get to see a little different scenery in your videos. Now that I sound like a weirdo, lol. You'll figure it out. Thanks.

[@angellacoombs2801]

Just your friendly neighborhood trash picker 🤩

[@Kenthis15]

Just keep being you Thub, the videos are always top quality, funnily enough if we ever met in person I don’t think we would be friends or even get along, but that’s why I like watching you, it’s life from a different perspective.

[@thubprint]

😆 I’ll take that at face value!

[@Kenthis15]

thubprint Haha, sorry, I guess I worded that poorly, I meant it as a compliment, I meant that your demeanor and video style appeals to everyone. I’m a big fan, and I’ve watched every one of your videos, but if you met me in real life you might be pretty shocked I’m one of your viewers, and I think that’s a testament to your creative abilities, so if you decide you want to take your videos in a different direction it’s probably a good decision, being who you are has worked pretty well so far to me.

[@chrislatimer8358]

Thub....we love ya no matter what you do man!

[@livvyweimar7362]

This WAS fun 😊

[@randystone6781]

Hey Thub: Thanks for the awesome, LONG AWAITED video. Good to see you back in the saddle with the bottle/trash picking. Old dude in the alley is a squatter to your action. Just work around him. Hope you and Wubb are doing well and staying safe. Peace, brother!

[@thubprint]

Oh we’re doing great, thanks for asking! Same to you, healthy and happy I hope 👍 It’ll still be a minute till we’re treasure hunting full time but like I say, it’s on the calendar. I’m not too worried about that fella either, they usually run away when the snow flies anyway lol.

[@sandrapeterson9356]

Here in Mississippi we love fried green tomatoes .. enjoyed the video

[@upinit100]

Cool! You have more cracks in your windshield than me.👍🔨

[@numismaticstacker]

Some guy walks out "hey! What you doing?!!!" You need a truck!

[@thubprint]

Truck is back in service for the winter 🙂

[@mehowshorts]

Awesome Adventures, Awesome what you did to the man, karma will come back to you more then dabble. 👍👍

[@thubprint]

Well it’s just one more way to leave it better!

[@fatbaldguy3271]

I have been so harrassed by cops and locals at dumpsters that i stop going to them. We kicked it up a notch on home cleanouts/junk removal and it suprised us how well its going. Have done numerous older folks clean outs and made new friends that call all the time with even more older folks that have stuff for us to pick up. Less of a hassle and we get to be a blessing to the elderly who cant do it themselves. Good luck friend ! Keep picken !

[@thubprint]

That sounds like a net positive to me! I think trash picking is sorta always going to be that, just an in-between sort of income opportunity to get from one chapter to the next if necessary. It’s not really profitable enough to consider long term.

[@arseniojrmauricio5794]

Look like the garbage truck just left, but still nice to see those cans and bottles.

[@arseniojrmauricio5794]

You gave your stuff to the guy? Lovely kind to others. I salute you brother, God is always kind to the generous..

[@thubprint]

It just seemed like the right thing to do I guess? That bag isn’t gonna make a huge difference to me but it might to him. I still think of the area as one of my spots but he’s probably gotten comfortable in the time I’ve been gone and I know the feeling of heading out somewhere only to find someone did it already. He seemed nice enough, and maybe I’ll run into him again so we might as well get along 👌

[@dannypietronuto4390]

Keep your head up brotha!! You're 1 of a kind, you'd HAVE TO BE for me to watch,(keep watching) lol, peace

[@thubprint]

You’re a legend, thank you!

[@zlatanmorrison8182]

Liked the intro on this one :) nice and relaxing/smooth...

[@thubprint]

Glad you liked it! I think if I keep it to one a week I can put a little extra polish on it. I think it’s worth it in the long term 👌

[@Leighspring]

Still love ya, keep up the great vids.

[@thubprint]

Thank you!

[@adriennegonzales2636]

Interesting reflections on your impact in the community... your presence did indeed keep a consistency going that might have deterred folk from camping in those trash areas. You can regain those area again I'm certain.

[@thubprint]

I’m sure I could, absolutely. At this point though, I think exploring new areas would be a lot more satisfying! Challenging too, but that’s part of the fun 👌

reality, you in the street, no music. you in a video music.

[@thubprint]

steve toth alright, I hear ya. There’s a certain level of ‘production’ that I want to put into things, but I think I can find a middle ground. A lot of people do like the music so I still want to use some, but I appreciate you pointing out the value of the straight goods 👍

Do you like green fried tomatoes they are delicious if you have never tried them than you should love watching your videos keep them coming and I will never get tired of watching you thank you.

Excited for future content. One thing I would like to see is an estimate for the price of what you pick up

Love your mask Mr Thub

[@glendajames4716]

[@RDStudios]

So you gave away your pick up stash to the other man, then bam...3 black bags full. That is good karma. =)

[@hisherscoins8024]

Nice pick up I pick the good Metals

[@thubprint]

Maybe someday steel will be one of the good ones again haha! I hear ya though, I’ve got limited space so I gotta make it count.

[@arseniojrmauricio5794]

I enjoyed your video from A to Z. Yeah winter is just in the corner. Where do you sell your scrap metals, I want to have fun with you in scrapping I supposed.

[@thubprint]

Well my city has a handful of scrapyards, so I favor different ones depending on what material I’ve got. I wasn’t sure if there was any value in doing a vlog style vid of my upcoming scrap run but maybe I should just for the fun of it heh

[@mr.zardoz3344]

What comes around goes around. I think you are a good moral person. I've thought that ever since you left a note on someones door about some expensive sunglasses.

[@thubprint]

Wow, you have been here awhile! And thank you.. I don’t know what other people’s standards are, but I’m doing my best to be who I’d like others to be.

[@StellanLarsson]

Very nice listening to your story about the code lock. We just the same siutuation here in Norrtälje Sweden. Good places for findings is getting locked up because of some people messing them up. Or use the to sleep in. I just got 2 of them left and it gives me okey work but a little bit to less. Take care! /Stellan

[@thubprint]

Yeah, nothing last forever huh. I don’t blame the folks who need somewhere to sleep but it’s a problem that really needs a solution.

[@lornehowland9929]

Great video! Didn't get to see the monitor tho...😉❤

[@thubprint]

I still haven’t tested it, lol

[@bfg69bug]

Thub, i know you helped that guy out, but heres a question, if you are storing the cans for a while, do you wash them? Or is being in sealed bags enough that theres no smell or bugs? We wash/rinse all ours because of the heat, but i suppose 40° is different to 10° over there?

[@thubprint]

I never have them for longer than a day or two so I don’t really think about it but for most people rinsing them out is probably best? I wash my bags every time I use them though! They could get real nasty lol

[@bfg69bug]

Yeah in that sense i suppose you are lucky, our nearest scrap recycler is a good 1hr round trip so i like to save and fill the car up to make it worth it.

[@majesticbuffaloman4327]

I seen that guitar hero 2 legends of rock, that was in your garage. That game is my favorite game that was made for the ps2 :D Expert is fun!

[@thubprint]

Nice catch haha! Mine’s the Wii version but same thing. Rock band was cool too but the drums take up too much space.

Can you do a video on how to strip the insulation off a copper water tank?

[@pokemonprimed]

Sad to see you locked out. It's sad that people are so desparate that they're sleeping in trash rooms.

[@thubprint]

Yeah, I’m mostly just disappointed that it had to go that way. It was a good bin for awhile, but the circumstances that led to it are a real shame.

[@1234567890drummerboy]

What days do you usually go trash picking? I work in a school and i'm trying to figure out when the best time to go out would be

[@ryanparadis1419]

The evening before collection

[@thubprint]

Oh it very much depends. If you can figure out when the trucks come then the day before would be a good starting point. If you find you have competition then you might do better halfway through the week, but generally pickers looking for bottles aim for mon/tues so they can find what folks threw out over the weekend. There’s no blanket answer, just gotta feel it out and find what works 👍

I’ll be honest, I feel my use of music recently has been tasteful and makes the videos more enjoyable and most people seem to agree. Could you help me understand what it is about it that you dislike? Maybe there’s a compromise that would satisfy both of us?
