Dumpster Diving & Curbsiding "I Was Curious Once Too"
Рет қаралды 185,807
4 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!

Usually battery backups either start beeping because they're low on charge, or because one (or more) of their cells are dying. Since that thing fired up the fans right off the bat, they may have just chucked it for a newer model (if not, you can easily find a cheap replacement cell for the one that's dying). That model has three prong high voltage out and in, so, if you can fix it, if you're a bad enough dude, you can probably use that as a backup power supply for, ummm, the entire house next time there's a blackout.

Everything you grab from these dumpsters or trash piles is hopefully one less thing that ends up in landfill. Melting down old scrap (regardless of what metal it is) is better for the planet than pulling new fresh stuff out of the ground. Good to see someone doing something that improves the planet (even if it also makes money)
