I just realized that a vast majority of people that i follow on social media are Canadian. There's something about your spirit and fortitude that most Americans cannot aquire. Cheers mate!

this guy is the bob ross of trash picking

[@jackryan2800]

One man's rubbish is another man's treasure.

[@antman3525]

Often when I go for my daily walk, a folded bag and snippers are on my pocket. Amazing what items people throw away, and cords aplenty. If nothing there it not taking up much space in my pocket. So it is a win for my health and wellbeing, and maybe a win for recovered items and scrap.

[@jorojinnomad549]

what other people think of you is none of your business.... you be you and do you.... always enjoy the content !!!

[@unchained20000000]

I don't just watch you for your content, I watch you cause I enjoy your energy. Positive vibes attract positive vibes and negative vibes attract negative. Interest is in the eye of the beholder.

[@rubberz1]

I miss these vlogs as well, they are one of my favorites

[@helfarkmar5043]

This is what started me watching, a long walk through the snow picking and setting the world to rights. keep doing the thing

[@jasonhinojosa1506]

I hope you bring back the videos trash picking plastic Bottles picking in the snow we missed that

[@MB-bt9km]

you should get Joel Haver's attention for your Halloween short film, he loves boosting regular people making movies

[@truereclaim7341]

The bottle collecting use to be my favourite videos of yours I miss them honestly

[@theodorelueker5057]

That was a lot of lid to look under. Thanks for letting us tag along.

[@mollynakamori]

The perfect way to get rid of the headache I woke to.

[@fortnite_gaming_incdoesrob5205]

I love bottle picking

[@MissCanadian]

Not a bad load my friend

[@daleh645]

Nice bottle+ day! 👍 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@MB-bt9km]

Love changing things up or slowing down the pace, this channel is always a good vibe

[@s-volt9814]

You're and interesting pleasant person and I have become quite the scrapper because of you, THANK YOU!!!

[@mollynakamori]

LOL - caught me! Good thing you said something.

[@colormeleons1191]

Im so happy that you take the bottles. See you leave them behind in so many containers made me sad!

[@DiscoGal.]

Subbed. You make boring manual labor look really fun! 😄

[@tinathompson2877]

I like these kind of videos, it's interesting to see what you find!!!

[@madelinerose5326]

Agree with you about the trees.q. love the bag size and logo. Price is reasonable, too. We suffered through two weeks of smokey air and just had our first 5+ inches of rain. Fall is definitely here. Love the alleyways. European planned community with cans and garages hidden away. Gloves are great. There are thermal gloves that are waterproof. Be safe out there. Really enjoy seeing other countries neighborhoods. Florida Scrapper, Mike the Scavenger, Scrap and Pallet Man, all stateside scrappers have reasonably nice areas. Poly Prophet in Melbourne, beautifully planned communities. Scrap is piled outside after getting allocated day to do so.

[@UltimatelyEverything]

The real ones will watch your videos no matter what you upload personally i love your content i think your videos are interesting and kind of educating at the same time.

[@bobcraft1966]

It's always nice to slow down, take a walk and see the world around us.

[@RepairmanJack91]

I have an infected foot so I cant scrap right now. I am missing the autumn weather. This video was perfect for my itch

[@richavic4520]

I watch all of your videos, Thub. Life isn't consistent. Some days suck less than others.

[@gravitybear]

A beautiful warm day in Minnesota, and the fact I didn't have to work today, meant I got out and picked up cans myself on a nice long walk. Ne deposit here, so it's strictly for the scrap value in aluminum cans, and the exercise. I like the bottle picking videos.

[@gaild3975]

I hate it too… trees are wonderful- provide oxygen , homes for animals , beautiful to look at etc… I thought this was a interesting video…. Your so sweet and positive 😊

[@44davewright]

And here i am watching every video on the channel🤣🤣 love watching your stuff

[@pmack8018]

I found your channel about 4 years ago now. the bottle picking and random talking is what kept me watching! I do like the other random videos you have posted previously also. then you started doing more scrapping type videos. there cool because you teach what you learned so other people can learn to. but I was excited to see this video of bottle picking because it's been along time ☺️ thank you!!!!

[@MrPhotodoc]

If they had plastic bottle deposits here in the states, I'd be a millionaire. Well in Illinois anyway. That shit is everywhere.

[@vincedibona4687]

I must be a weirdo, I like the bottle-picking/trash picking/dumpster diving videos as much if not more that the more “educational” style videos. 1:38 am and I am about to go do the thing! Fty, I do have a powerful flashlight. 😉

[@gregrowat5654]

No word of a lie, I came across that same pile of steel w/the blue wheelbarrow in the NW, rang their doorbell to see if it was free because I wasn't sure if it was freezies. I was going to go by today and ring their bell again but it only snowed a foot here overnight.

[@nickburns9470]

I was wondering about that. I'm not sure it was put out for pick up 😂

[@Puppybuns]

You really seem to enjoy life, it's charming to see!

[@fuxkthetories]

Back to the bottles! I've missed these vids a bit. All your content is great 👍

[@lisevivier1878]

You are so on the spot, being outside is the way to go. It gives me so much energy.

[@jayonbikes4271]

You're always positive. I like the vibes!👊

[@maddumass]

Even after being told not to take from recycle bins. Oh well, hope thubprint doesn't get fined by local uptight Canadian authorities.

[@madchewychunk9833]

first day scrapping i have 6 appliances lol how fun

[@cocopufer5667]

dooood you should sew or glue a little magnet onto the back of one of those gloves so you can check steel etc on the FLY!

[@stache297]

Thanks to your inspiration I was able to save up enough for my new tattoo now I’m close to obtaining a mining course

[@asafericroth6321]

i really missed these

[@suebrown3917]

enjoy watching your channel

[@thatcanada]

The person who was upset with you showing stuff then not taking it - they are not going to like this video!

[@TeamBlackDiamond]

You left behind a shovel and metal rack in the trash can you got the towel racks from.

[@kaysay716]

I am always happy to watch your videos Thub, I also hate it when they chop down trees.

[@angellacoombs2801]

Sometimes I long for those pre-pandemic videos. Sometimes you just gotta stop and smell the garbage.

[@DavidGS66]

2 things I don't understand (2:40): 1) He said he'll buy an extension chord. Good pickers have lots of extension chords, phone chords, etc; no need to buy them. 2) Why doesn't he & most pickers have a picker stick? It can rake thru contents & reach to bottom of containers, bins, under fence, subway tracks, & reach in locked bins, etc.

[@thubprint]

Happy to clarify! It wasn’t an extension cord, it was a desk mount power distribution box. The kind of thing you mount to your workbench and can plug all sorts of usb and ac charge devices into. I’ve yet to build my “charge station” for my many devices. The pick stick is a fine tool and it would be a clever bit of kit to hang in the truck, but if a person is walking and checking bins, less is more. Carrying a stick is the same as pushing a cart, it makes you a lot slower

[@thatcanada]

You cannot feel things well with a stick. Sometimes you have feel up those bags/boxes to know what's inside without tearing into them all. And as for reaching into locked bins - no thanks. After having spoken to the local cops about what they deem going to far - breaching locked bins and jumping fences/gates to get to bins were the two things they said would cross a line; here at least. And I don't think he was talking about an extension cord but instead a multi usb charger.

[@alfonsomural4792]

My body is telling me I need more beef stew.

[@bentleyalder5492]

I love you exploratory adventures because I love doing so myself but at the moment my workshop is too fullll and thus I'm forcing myself to not bring anything new home until I have fully delt with my backlog. But gods do I miss the adventure of treasure hunting. And I will again but not soon enough, so I love watching all your content as though I'm right there with you 🥰🤘

[@tophersplat]

Your videos came up on my recommended and I aint mad

[@johnchristie1423]

@ 26;43 that was an old hemp rope 1930 vintage

[@johnnunley8262]

Of all your videos but especially prefer the bottle picking because it's kind of a fun little trip treasure hunt if you will and there's always a calming nature about you which makes the videos just that little extra better

[@lisevivier1878]

I get what you are saying. I have to have a goal or something to go out for a walk. Walking for walking does not motivate me.

[@lordblazerpsx]

i love these kind of videos thub of yours! especially when they are in the snow

[@soerenbode]

Oh yeah! Three bags coming to Germany. Might be a pointless purchase (we do have bags here) but I wants 'em! ;) Happy to support you. Wonderful video, as always.

[@helfarkmar5043]

Great stuff as usual!

[@louissorino8229]

i love these type of videos so much more than the scrap ones keep doing this thing lol

[@jasonhinojosa1506]

You can use that Mannequin head for Halloween lol

[@lisevivier1878]

I love watching your runs.

[@nickburns9470]

man I wish our scrap yards in central Arizona were as organized and detail oriented as yours. every single one I go to here looks like a landfill and is always rushed. not nearly as willing to even accept questions about their processes or categories.

[@lisevivier1878]

Great finds

[@hubbardhamlin2]

HE'S MAKING MORE $$$$$ FROM KZbin 420 VIDS PLAYING 24/7

[@glendajames4716]

Love your videos

[@scrappirateroberts]

Whoops! Full O maggots!

[@sigfr31dz]

I mis this kind of treasure hunting from you...

[@scrappinbig2239]

Just watched this video and I think that you should try and sell the barbecue grill that you found un-used ! Make more money than scrap ! And I know that you know how to sell items that you find because that's how your videos use to be when you first started posting on KZbin ! Just a thought !

[@matt2244]

Found your channel when all you did was this.. I really enjoy it no idea why maybe it's just the adventure.

[@lorrainemcdonald7332]

Your videos are always fun!

[@shellyouellette1724]

awesome...!!!

[@murano63]

Hi there. DUDE! you should have rescued that Flames t-shirt!! 😄My fave team. ❣from the 306

[@BushDogScrapper]

I’ll be trying to grab up one of them reusable bags!

[@lisevivier1878]

my van is full of empties triaged and counted and then was ready to go to the depot and taddaaa the van won’t start. Starter caput. Another huge expense. More motivation to pick up empties.

[@larryvercauteren22]

i like these they are fun and as well as exploring its about the hunt!!

[@Jedi_Scowen]

This video was suggested to me 3 months later. KZbin usually suggests your videos that are 1-5 years old.

[@brendansheehy5253]

get yourself a roofers hatchet if you dont have one already......it is a scrappers tool of many uses.

[@matthiasdressler1641]

in canada they are really strict about what is a weapon, u cant walk around with anything remotely weapon like or u can get in alot of trouble around here.

[@brendansheehy5253]

@@matthiasdressler1641 I know I am in Ontario. A roofing hatchet isnt an issue as long as you are not brandishing it on someone or using it to break into something...a hammer is the same.

[@jrae6608]

I love all your video’s

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Great video

[@Robert-VandenAkker]

Hi Thubb!!

[@whatarewedoing0]

you could probably fix that even tho the cable had been cut, just attach a cable, have dont it before to electronics and it has worked

[@timwerner7769]

I love your videos - been watching them for months. I started scrapping a bit because of you. I wanted to support you so i bought one of your bags. Keep it up!

[@thubprint]

Thank you very much! Hope you find it as useful as I have, and glad the videos have been helping 😊

[@bestest7239]

need the hoody but already got too many to manage easily

[@seansteezychannel9777]

Would love to have the rollinf shelf unit to the garage

[@jaffe28]

My body very clearly says, "I hate you."

[@joshp6061]

5:20 I think you have more viewers that watch every single video than you think. Approximately 10000 if you just take a look

[@DanielKohn92]

Im digging thru every video on the Channel. 2-3 per day

[@susananthony2366]

That was very interesting. I was trying to determine the uses of the various bin colors. In my Pennsylvania town they provide one brightly colored bin for mixed recycling and the other bin for bagged household trash we homeowners purchase ourselves. so there's a mixed variety of black and dark green containers. Thanks for an always educational and entertaining time with you Thub.

[@vincedibona4687]

Yeah, it’s weird for me seeing Drake’s area using the same colored bins as my town here in the States, but the trash and yard waste colors are reversed. In my mind, he keeps checking the yard waste containers and leaving the trash ones unopened! 😂

[@midnitespider]

Just get arrested again, that'll make this video go viral.... lol...I enjoy your longer videoa man, keep on scrappin!

[@georgejohan1753]

[@livvyweimar7362]

I love this!!!

[@sethnatusch8075]

Unbelievable the things we find trash surfing. But you leave oh so much behind. Everything thing in those cans is worth $$$

[@farttart597]

All those people people who clicked off because he was was not finding a lot of bottles lol.

[@mollynakamori]

I was right. The three Ts cure headaches. Thub, trash and Tylenol! Loved hitting the alleys with you, Thub. You pack like my ex-husband. For as big a jerk as he was, the guy could pack a car or truck into the 5th dimension. I'm going to use my bag to consolidate my "incaseofwidlfireyouhavetoleaveimmediately" bugout bags in the front hall! Thanks for sharing a beautiful autumn day.

[@iffy9776]

With vacuum cleaner motors theirs a knack taking them out and also which brand. I leave the cheaper ones. I watch you dive vid till the end. Bluestone boot are Australian outdoor boots I have a pair very good boots.

[@paulcoenen7918]

I know that knack, I call it a hammer. 3 good walks with a big one and they cooperate from there. Still border line worth it for a 3 pound aluminum winding motor with the shred price about 5 cents per pound. A lot of work for no gain. 😊

[@BushDogScrapper]

CheeRs Bro You always get a full watch from me! I feel ya on the partially watched videos 😂 I guys gotta really work for the like share and comment 👍🏻🤣 hope the weather isn’t keeping ya down the last few days have been brutal for being so early 🥶🇨🇦🤣♻️🤘🏻

[@stephensmith3708]

Hey, King Trash Panda, all before this scrapping gig, what was your previous line of work? I work for a bottle manufacturer that would of been 32yrs but only retain 31yrs. Still working, just a few more years I'm outie!

[@DB-jd9ht]

Can you please do a video on the laws reguarding scrapping curbside? If I was doing what you were doing to start this video I would get fined by police. I have been stopped before going curbside to scrap. I would love to see your video about the laws per state or USA about being able to go through curbside trash like that. I was told only people than can touch curbside trash were waste management employees. I don't know if it's different for each state or county or borough. Thanks

[@paulcoenen7918]

It goes by location, your local laws and ordnances apply to your area only but if no local ordnance you are free to take what is deemed tossed or abandoned.

[@Derbyhobbiescrapper]

Some people aren't happy unless there moaning about something mate

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Kinda disappointed in this one. That heavy duty rolling cart was a perfectly good working item that needed no repair. Ditto for that BBQ. Times like that I say, just leave it for someone who'll actually use it for what it is, rather than turn a $300 item into $3 scrap. Or Kijiji it. Hell even the shelves, shelves resell easy and are pricey. I know if you pass it by it might just be the next less-scrupulous scrapper that'll take it and make their $3 on it, but, sucks that those items are going to waste.

[@patchy6635]

Where I am in Aus, the cord you cut would be low grade with or without the plug, I'm really surprised at how particular your yards are.... Love ya vids

[@nickburns9470]

same here in Arizona. ours rarely even differentiate between stainless and non stainless steel.
