  • 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

    The thing's I like the most are tool's!😁 yesterday I found a cement mixer and wheelbarrow in a dumpster- rang the doorbell and asked if they were tossing it out , they said yes and I asked if I could take em they said sure go ahead, do you take refrigerators? I said of course I'll take that too! I do rockwalls and sidewalks and general landscaping as a living as well as welding and roofing! Been mixing by hand for year's! Now I'm the proud owner of a 400 dollar mixer that I can use to make much more money👍 and it didn't cost me a dime more than my time and energy to load it onto my truck!😁👍 half my garage is full of tool's other people just tossed out when they were done with them! It just amazes me how little value people hold in anything anymore! But hey- I'll take anything I can find and use! And if it helps make more- well that's what I call a win win right there!

      It blows my mind how some people just don't value items, tools included. I haven't bought a lawnmower in 30 years, bandsaw, table saw, toolboxes and so much more. I get that it's just stuff, but Holy moly to replace these things takes one's hard earned money. These are people that never had to go without I guess. My rants done,lol. ✌️

    Mike, Love your videos and commentary throughout! I used to do LED retrofits of lighting fixtures and we'd end up with so many hundreds of those ballasts on each job we did. The boss just took them and threw them in a dumpster usually. We only kept the High-bay ballasts to break down and scrap out the internal components.

      Ha! Mike usually has to go home and cook a meal, clean up, do various chores around the house, take care of 2 senior pups, edit videos and go to his "real" full time job, and if you've never waited tables, there's far more than meets the eye, and it's usually run your tush off your entire shift (IF you're really good, and I have no doubt that Mike IS). So enjoy your nap! LMAO 🤣

    Hey mike, Mel from Quesnel here. I noticed you are leaving behind all the aluminum soda cans, get a can crusher, you would be surprised how quickly the weight adds up. As far as the steel doors, take some time to study the seams, and how to open them to get the fillers out. Only other option is cut them open, that’s noisy and time consuming. Oh well!! Stay safe brother, love your vids! And remember keep on SCRAPPIN’
