Dumpster Diving & Curbside Scavenging "I Hope I Fits Through The Door!"
Рет қаралды 538,767
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.

This was a riveting scrap adventure. Pallet Step Stacking was a brilliant maneuver 💡. On a side note, it might have taken three or more people to load the metal scrap and pallets into that dumpster. It took one man, Mike the Super Sc-Avenger, to depalletize, unload the scrap, and reorganize the pallets.

I want you to think about how you jump in and out of dumpsters. It is very bad on the knees. You might regret it when you are older and can't move as well. Take care of your body! Love watching you!

Totally agree with you. Also, the slamming of your fists into the dumpsters. Gonna regret that one too. I cringe every time you do it.
