Dumpster Diving "Joined In Holy Matrimony"
Рет қаралды 158,737
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 can confirm that was a heavy-duty explosion-proof box. The hardest repair I ever made was replacing an explosion-proof dial telephone on an EXXON gasoline receiving dock on the Cumberland River dock in Nashville. I had a narrow window of time to do the work between two days of delivery and departure of the barge at that dock. Got-r-done though.

the red housings are possibly for environments with explosive atmospheres. They are built in such a way that an explosion of gas can occur inside, but does not reach the outside. And they are really expensive.
