  • Howdy, 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.

    Mike, please watch out for any rats. Some leather from an old coat can make some sleeves for around your arms and legs or just long baggy pants. Thousands of years ago I believe it was the Chinese that would attack on horseback with bow and arrows. They would wear those baggy shirts/capes that would fill up with air as they rode and these air-type bubbles on their backs would prevent the enemy's arrows from hitting them. Kind of like a cushion and the same idea could prevent a rat's bite from getting you. Just an idea, I have watched "Scrap and Pallet man" for about a year but got hooked on your show this past month. You don't let things go to waste as he does and your jumping in and out of those dumpsters so quickly is impressive. Go man Go ! :)

    @neil6212 Před 3 lety

    The RIDGID pail, hose, pump and strainers are made to use with a power pipe threader, where the cuttings and used oil drop into the pail, and the oil keeps getting reused. That said, the pails are aluminum, and the strainers at least used to be. The pump handle is also of cast aluminum. Good things to clean up and sell! New, they ain't cheap!

  • @jamesh4966
    @jamesh4966 Před 3 lety

    Love your channel. It brings back so many memories. I done the retail and grocery store dumpsters for many many years until I got too old and in 2016 had to have a hip replacement and now can't climb. My favorite was KMart dumpster. I never made any money doing it because I gave the most of it to the needy. I knew the time of day when the merchants would throw their products and was watching and waiting. On meat days I had my ice chests with ice and sometimes would fill them up. I never had to buy meat, cheese and other stuff. Never bought any appliances. Everyday I drove by a little Black community church and dropped off all kinds of stuff, they loved it. A word of advice, don't tip off the stores that you are digging in their dumpster because they will totally destroy everything, that is the law. Be a little more Quiet!

    Those are Oilers for a pipe threader. All those shavings that you picked up, is what falls off of the pipe, and into the bucket. And with the gun, you Lube the pipe. So it doesn't burn the dyes on the machine.

    Around 13:00, those "cable locks" are called carseals. Usually used to seal the caps or manways on tank trucks. Also use them to "lock" our valves open or closed. And yes, they are tamper evident.

  • @georgecypher4568
    @georgecypher4568 Před 3 lety

    A lil FYI , Mike, those Resmed Bags are like a dime a dozen ....
    Everyone who gets a new machine gets a new bag and most people DO NOT TAKE THEM so thats why they end up in dumpster land !

  • @RJ-er3gv
    @RJ-er3gv Před 3 lety

    They put cutting oil in the bucket and use the manual hand or foot pump oil to cool the pipe as the treads are being cut. Hence the metal shavings.

    That homefill2 is the machine that fills the empty Oxygen O2 canisters, that you can take out on outings, then come home and connect it to the homefill2 to fill for next time. it sits on top of the concentrator connecting to the two of them my mom had one.

    Great scores brother!!!! I picked up a few items at a local dump I was able to get into.

    Would love you to one night go after cardboard, stack it up high like the pallet man does with pallets and take it to a recycle place to see how much money you get.. thinks its about 200 a tonne. Cardboard is deceptively heavy and IMO you can fill that truck real easy in a night. Use straps to hold it tightly down.
