Dumpster Diving, Getting Distracted by Better Scrap Hauls!
Рет қаралды 16,099
Жыл бұрынWent out planning on doing a full day dumpster diving, but ended up chasing down some scrap pickups from friends who called us in! Still found some great dumpster scores of course, and always super grateful for the help. There were some materials to take home afterwards too! There are plans for this stuff, mwua ha ha!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3jrO2iS
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
This is the cheaper version: amzn.to/2SwrYsB
And here are those grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl

I work in the door industry. A lot of the hinges that you find on doors are steel, but certain models are brass. It doesn't matter what the finish is it can still be brass.

Another great video, I love how you engage with your audience and you don't leave them wondering what's going on. Plus why you don't make a big deal with it you can easily tell that you enjoy doing the work. Your videos are definitely less about scrapping and our bottle picking their about Adventure and you definitely show us an adventurous time. I agree with one of your other commenters when they say you're the Bob Ross of scrapping have to fully agree, because you've often provided a calming effect on me when have been upset about something usually after having a run-in with a Karen or Kevin just wanting to cause me problems if you know what I mean. Thanks again for your wonderful videos and I hope you and yours are doing good. Can't wait for another adventure with thumb the Scrapper man, but maybe get some knee pads because us old guys whenever you jump filled-in those knees of ours haha.

I've noticed watching other scrapper videos that most scrappers don't see the value of certain things beyond the scrap value. And most don't seem to know how to do any other job besides collecting scrap metal, and most can't identify the non ferrous from steel or iron without a magnet.

Do you still go do your route of picking in the cans? When I first started watching you you did that in the bottles in the cans. Now you seem to be doing more scrap. I'm sure that brings more money.
@thubprint Жыл бұрын
To be honest, I miss picking cans sometimes 😅 collecting scrap metal is often better money but I wanted to move away from cans because it felt bad knowing I was potentially taking bottle money from pickers who need it more than I do. I’ll still make time to do it for a video here and there but scrap/dumpster videos seem to do better anyhow
