Dumpster Diving "I Just Come For The Scrap"
Рет қаралды 170,183
5 ай 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!

The funny thing about big heat shrink tubing is that when you need it you REALLY need it, and then you find out just how expensive jumbo size supplies are.

7:18 dude, as someone who's run an office for the better part of a decade I gotta let you know, those boxes of folders start at $20/ box for simple manilla folders and just go up the more intricate they get. Those folders on the resale market could easily go for $30-50 per box.

I was thinking the same. I just bought 10 really low budget folders at WalMart and they were 7 bucks!

Mike the Scavenger, in his natural habitat! The tangy perfume of discarded dreams, the symphony of clinking bottles and rustling plastic bags - these are the scents that stir his soul. Tell me, where has Mike's nose (or perhaps, keen scavenging intuition) led him today? Is it the back alleys of a bustling city, or the forgotten corners of a sleepy suburb? And what secrets might this particular dumpster hold? Is it a treasure trove of vintage vinyl, a forgotten collection of dusty comic books, or perhaps something more… mysterious? Author Unknown

Mike the large heat shrink is used on large power cables and we use that on our large transmitter cables. Some of them will have glue inside giving it a tight waterproof seal. Connector. That 3" to 5" heat shrink isn't cheap. Have a good weekend to you and yours. I was hoping you would put out a video today. PS: Watch the movie The Bee Keeper.
