Dumpster Diving "Comin' Home With Some Spaceship Stuff"
Рет қаралды 258,374
2 жыл бұрынHowdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

I dont know how the youtube algorithm brought me to your channel, because i've never watched a scrap/picker video before. With that said, this channel has become one of my absolute favorites over the last six months or so. The commentary is straight up gold, reminds me of a old friend I worked with ages ago.

Agreed lol, I have no idea how this ended up in front of me but I've been following for about 6 months now, Mike is hilarious and loves what he does . Even have my 4yr old sitting with me following along. She loves all the little noise he makes and all the voices he does lol.

My brother is an electrician, he brought two big fans off a job. We built big boxes to mount the fans in, then we put casters on them and wire over the open sides. We could roll them around to where we were working. They not only blow great, but the bugs can’t even land on you. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅

Mike, that long piece you found at 17:12 is part of a ups.(uninterrupted power supply) the batteries you found shortly thereafter usually fit in that sleeve. I found one in an office open top a couple months ago. It had 80lbs of batteries in it.

Mike those batteries have probably been used in some sort of cable avoidance tool (CAT) we use them at work and they use a certain percentage of the battery before the replace battery symbol starts flashing. the batteries i remove from the CAT's still register as full on my battery tester. they are good for a few months in a radio etc.
