Dumpster Diving "It's Not Even Good Crap"
Рет қаралды 147,505
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!

Those red racks in the one dumpster are for keeping cold beverages in a neat and tidy order in your fridge. They would sell fast in a garage sale.

I have said that before Fiber Optic cable goes for $$$. I use that in my stereo equipment and my Amateur Radio. My friends and I have a laser transmitter and use it for line of sight transceivers. We use the fiber optic cable to modulate the head.

When I was a little kid, the local dump put in a recycling area for household glass and metal - before there were recycling trucks. My mom used to take us up there with a load of bottles every so often. We called it "going crashing" from the sound the bottles made when we kids threw them in one by one. Reminds me of that scrapper truck at the end of your videos.

Since watching your channel Mike I find myself looking at dumpsters I can’t get in them like you but I often wonder 💭 is there wires, or scrap in there? Funny 😄 how one’s adventures can cause others to imagine. Thanks Mike! I truly enjoy your videos. 🥰❤️ Oh and be careful around those types of lights when they pop there’s a gas of some type which is harmful to people.

There is a couple comments below referencing the 18 to 20 volt adapters it's definitely the way to go when you have several. All of our cordless tools are DeWalt 18 and 20 volt so when the 18 volt batteries started dying a couple years ago, my hubby simplified and brought the adapters, converting the older 18volt to 20. No more making sure we have both types of battery chargers with both batteries when we are on the go, with our tools.

split wires are fiber optic. believe the red plastic things are drink holder, put them in the top they come out the bottom. great for refrigerators. New sport dumpster magnetic fishing. Love the Dewalt. they still make the 18v batteries and they have an adapter to go from 20 v to the 18 v
@robertschwartzman195 2 жыл бұрын
Mike that fiber optic cable is great to have. I have a splicing kit for them. I used them in Amateur Radio. I can put the main unit in the next room and use the fiber optic cable some 40' away. Many of my stereo equipment uses fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable is worth money. Don't overlook it. You would be surprised how much it is worth.
