Back in the '60s when I chopped mud for the brick layers and block masons they had the same bag as the weekender. Same features leather straps a wood metal frame at the top for open and close. Back then they were just plain white heavy canvas or duck cloth. That was a real good one the cheap one was just floppy canvas with double stitched canvas handles.
Hopefully you are feeling better from your bicycle crash. Another great video as always just love watching. Keep those adventures coming for us to see.
Silas I am continually amazed at the number of cars you cycle through! Our county here (Lake County, Ca.) is about the same as yours (about 60 K) and we are down to one auto recycler in the entire county, and I don't think he does anywhere near the volume you do. Kudos my friend, you are one busy hard working guy!
Hello Silas...hope you and the family are doing well. You mentioned wanting us viewers to let you know if we liked specific vid content, listen lol...anything you upload is awesome content man. So as far as I am concerned, keep uploading and everything will be phenomenal !
I keep seeing sheet steel and it makes me wonder. At one point you commented on a building you had where the roof was wind-damaged and I thought" why not use the sheet steel to repair the roof and make the building usable again?
To little slope, different levels on different added parts meeting in all maner of impractical ways, there would nescessary with to much building, very expensive.
You should put a walk through of what’s around your crusher it looked interesting I kept trying to look at all the stuff around it while you was crushing at the end lol
Keep doin what you are doing , the variety in your videos keeps stuff interesting Wish you where closer i see stuff come through like 5x100 bolt 14" aluminum wheels i need for race aplication or nice front clip for my 48 to 54 chev pickup
If it where me I would take one the other buses an Barry it then put the bus your using as a camper on top, I hear you have tornadoes there so why not have a shelter?
I just want you to know that people actually go to the store and buy lug nuts. I know that may seem odd to you because it's something you will never have to do.
Silas. I was wondering how much would you want for the back of a old truck cab in order to use as a bench for my patio. I hope you know what I'm talking about. Love your channel. I'm in San Antonio Texas . Thank you
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch thank you for getting back to me so fast. I'm looking for a 1940s or 50s . Can you if you don't mind let me know when you may have a few I would be coming from Texas. So I would have to make arrangements to pick up
I sent a request for some truck parts to your email address and it wouldn't go through. Said that the address was not good. now I am wondering how to contact you. Love your video's and watch all... Gene.........................
A quick question..i have seen some videos on TH-cam that shows glass being recycled into fine sand to be further used as raw material for new glass or as refined Sand for new construction. In this video I see glass being smashed.. would it be profitable if you are able to send the windshield in a single piece to a glass recycling facility instead of smashing and dealing with the mess afterwards. Maybe make some money.
Morning Silas! I do understand your investment gamble!! I work for one of the big three which pays the bills, but I have a expensive car habit, so I buy & sell what ever I can get my hands on.... sometimes I lose $$_sometimes I break even, but, then sometimes I do very well....
Hey Silas that's a lot of money for some rusty junk!! You could put one of your 2 ton cabs on the frame and sell it as a project, but you will make more parting it out, hopefully you have someone lined up who will buy some of it! How about making a solar project for your bus, lights, power etc. and maybe get some sponsorship for the panel? Save the good car batteries you get, I know it's not the best type of battey, but I once lived off solar cheaply with car batteries as storage, it does work.
Only idiots scrap out catalytic converters by emptying them first ... you only get a fraction of the value for crushed catylitic honeycomb without the actual converter with the identification number to determine the value of the contained metals....& the empty cat pisses off the scrap yard as well,,my friend Eddy use to bust open & clean out the catalytic converters & he was only making a fraction of the money I was getting for complete converters sold to the refinery
I don’t mind if people do that, but they are hurting themselves. The reason being that I can’t look the numbers up without the case, so I have to pay them based on aftermarket value to be safe.
So glad You are OK ! You are very Busy indeed and crashing Cars and Trucks - Lots of Fun for us ! Another Great Video and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Another great video of Silas running three ways to Sunday, lol I'm sorry to hear about your bike crash. Hope you're doing well and the bike wasn't damaged. I was wondering if there'd still be mushrooms this late, with all the rain we've been having. Scrap prices may be falling but the dern gas, groceries and living hasn't! It's getting scary crazy. We can watch your videos and forget the problems for a bit. Always happy to see a new one. Stay safe and GOD bless
That is so weird Silas, a couple weeks ago I asked you about people buying cars from you for derbies, now you get in a couple loads of what look like derby cars to be crushed. 🤔 😇😇
Good afternoon, friend, we love your videos. I'm a fan of yours. Because of what you do, it's my dream to do the same and have that passion. Tell him like this. From here in Mexico, we will continue to support you. Greetings from Mexico.
Be careful my friend. I rolled my ankle a month ago I was laid up on the couch for 3 weeks im still not 100% got let go from my job cause of it. Ouch!!

That old Ford truck 15:24, they were a great workhorse back then. Pity the cabs rusted. Well down under they did.

I've wondered the same thing.

Use car hoods
You should put a walk through of what’s around your crusher it looked interesting I kept trying to look at all the stuff around it while you was crushing at the end lol
Appreciate you including the dollar amounts in these videos, help educate us that aren't around this all the time.
Silas, your business cards should have a slogan. Something like:
Have sawzall, will travel.
Keep doin what you are doing , the variety in your videos keeps stuff interesting
Wish you where closer i see stuff come through like 5x100 bolt 14" aluminum wheels i need for race aplication or nice front clip for my 48 to 54 chev pickup
Great video I loved it glad you had a good time on your vacation hope prices go backup for you
Sell the hydraulic pumps and motors off the combine to Flint Hydrostatic in Memphis
Love the buy and sell videos
the music 3:00 was very sanford ans sons very appropriate
i NEED A BLUE DODGE MINI VAN LIKE THAT ONE IN THE VIDEO FOR BODY PARTS.
Hi Silas. With the high price of fuel now is there any advantage for you to recycle the gas from your scrap cars?
I remember few years ago saying something about somebody growing mush
Love this kind of video
Question what do you do with all those tires?
Keep up the work I really enjoy your vids
What’s up Silas. How was camping?
That was my tornado video that posted a few weeks ago
Put the videos with subtitles and that way more people will see them, thank you very much for teaching us what you are passionate about, greetings
Silas is the man.
FabRats is looking right now for a 41-46 Chevrolet truck 12or3/4 ton. If you have one or know of on shoot him a line. Front not bed. Thanks
The badly rusted truck cab was a 1941-46 Dodge.
Make a junkyard hot tub....sorry scrapyard hot tub!!!
What happens with all the shattered glass that seems to fall everywhere?
If it where me I would take one the other buses an Barry it then put the bus your using as a camper on top, I hear you have tornadoes there so why not have a shelter?
When do you recycle batteries, bikes, and other stuff?
I just want you to know that people actually go to the store and buy lug nuts. I know that may seem odd to you because it's something you will never have to do.
that is too cool being that wierdo that builds cool and un-usual stuff! individuality is what makes this old world go 'round!
i sure do like watching your videos they re always something differant take care be safe
Love your work. Wish I could go there and get some stuff.
Sorry about the wreck, we enjoyed the video, keep up good job.
Silas. I was wondering how much would you want for the back of a old truck cab in order to use as a bench for my patio. I hope you know what I'm talking about. Love your channel. I'm in San Antonio Texas . Thank you
I typically get $100 for those

Its all cool
I never thought I'd hear such beautiful music watching cars being smashed.
That was cool
Very cool!!!!!!!!!

Silas Nice job and Video
Why Don't You Save & Sell The Topper's On The Back Of Trucks For Cash?
Question
What do you do with the old gas and oil from the crash vehicles?
Thanks again for antohher great vidio im 4 hrs away from you maybe one day i can come anf visit im in nw ark.
what area do you get these cars? i,m in seattle washington, and half of this stuff are just junk to you are unfindable here and worth top dollar
Silas, I've always wondered, buying catalytic converters, how do you know they weren't stolen? Do you only buy from people you know?
We report everything we buy to the state. People know that, so they sell their stolen stuff to other buyers who pay less but operate illegally.
Yes 1
Hi
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎 👌 👍
Nice
👍👍👍
Wassup
Seems like a small profit for a lot of work Silas. Time is money.
We only make about $30 profit per car that we buy by weight, so it’s much better than that.
Put in a carbon monoxide detector.
Asian girl mushrooms inside I've heard and you won't have to look for them

In case you are interested I have some oceanfront property in the state of Illinois I will sell it to you cheap
Keep on crushin'....never get tired of it. Always lots of neat cars and trucks.
I agree!
Makes you wonder how we survived those bike wrecks when we were kids. Right, dude?
Interesting fact about me, I was 16 before I ever learned how to ride a bike
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I had bike wrecks that would kill me now.

In Georgia, we call it "Skwushing" cars.
Love your stuff! Also love the way you incorporate the sponsors into your vids! Very smooth and seamless!

Congrats on the sponsorship!
Today, 05-25, I know you've been getting a lot of rain. I know it's much needed, but hard to work in. Stay safe and GOD bless

I'm a long term investor. I Withdraw my profits of over £56,000 during the covid-19 pandemic
That's 100% true ✅ Please how do I start trading with him?
I’m tired of only making measly thousands a month with great health insurance and retirement. I already quit my job, How do I start this?
What does that have to do with this video?
Best thing that the snake didn’t bite you.
What about those wheels can you sell these
You need to get the junk pickup trucks make trailers into them
I buy pickup trailers for scrap all the time. They don’t have much value here
