MEGA Wire Strip Session!
Рет қаралды 127,572
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.

You invested a tremendous amount of sweat equity to earn the $200. I suspect most of it will go into feeding Dottie and your furry kids. It was nice seeing the fur kids joining you in this video.

Hard work pays off. This is what gets me when people say they are "broke". There is always something anyone can do to earn extra money. Go run an ad to mow a lawn for $30. It's $30 more than you had sitting at home worrying about being short of some cash. For $30, I can make out a list and plan and buy quite a few meals for $30. I always tell people that there is no shame in any work out there. Everyone has to do what they can to help throw some cash in their lives. I love this channel. Mike is not only hard working but very entertaining. Todays big project for myself is to go outside and spray my gutters with some stuff I got to erase all those black streaks and spots. Imagine that. I will spray down the front of the house, 56 feet and that will take up all my energy and I will be done for the day. Enjoy your health while you are young. Masks save your lung so you don't have to wear oxygen in later life. Yes, it is that important.
