  • 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.

    This guy just makes my day. I love his way of talking. He keeps me laughing. He's a hard working dumpster diver. He can jump in and out of those big dumpsters like Superman, but you really need to be more careful Mike . I'm so afraid you're gonna break your leg. I have a son so much like you he does anything to make a living including always getting any scrap he comes across. He's broke himself up so much through his work, but he keeps going. Ii have much respect for men like you all. Keep scraping and may God bless and keep all that earns an honest living.

    Dude I did it myself just like you do in montana for years i used a bicycle 26" and bike kids trailer to recycle 50 pounds copper aluminum and brass a day. Jumping in and out of a thousand blue dumpsters a week. It creates a phychosis that is addictive. This guy know what everything is. I miss recycling. I should get back into it. Its fun to see what is out there. I talk to myself like that all day/ nite too, that way the neighborhood knows who I am. Hey Great Falls , Missoula, Helena...was fun.

    Mike the Scavenger, you have without probably knowing made it so much easier for so many of us throughout this pandemic! Providing for us some good and a interesting form of entertainment. Thanks for the help! I appreciate you and look forward to seeing what your next big reward will be. As you seek out and find so much that can either be repurposed in so many ways and also thanks for your part in keeping some great items from ending up in the landfill or maybe even the Ocean 🌊.

    Hey Mike, you should go easy on those big letters. A lot of parents put them on their kids walls. You could probably get $10-$20 dollars each just the way they are. Just a thought. Happy dumpster diving.

    Hey Mike, you can buy one of those back plates for a couple bucks. Then you have a nice bathroom light. Also, that brass lamp you could hang on your patio if you have one. That would look nice too.

    We had a couple of the old fancy chandeliers you talking about in our yard. My hubby wasn't to keen on them, but the neighbors loved them. When we moved he sold them for $10.00 each. They had no wire anymore and no semblance of being a lamp again. We had a gravel yard and had other items in the yard as well. Many a person said it looked whimsical.

    Love the video as always. I do a bit of bin scrounging here in Turin, Italy. If it looks like something I can use or re-purpose, I grab it. That has saved me quite a few euros over the years and enabled me to get some stuff, free. I still got stuff that I use which I scavenged out of dumpsters and neighborhood trash bins in the SLC UT area when I lived there over twenty years ago. Once scavenging and scrounging gets in your blood, it never leaves.

    The roll of gray tubing with the metal interior is generically called "Sealtite", or merely "liquid tight". 'Spensive stuff if you go to buy it. Installed a heap of it over the years. I believe the largest size available would be 4" trade size. BTW, without the outer plastic cover, it would be called "Greenfield", without the metallic inner, but quite flexible as well as tough, it would be "CN". CN is usually orange, and liquid tight. Used mainly in heavy industry machine tools, such as auto plants.

      @joegilly1523 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That seal tight is worth money ,should have kept it on the role to sell it. I have used it a lot. The bigger it is the more expensive it is. It’s on my hot tub to the GFCI OUTSIDE.

    Mike I was thinking I should invest in a GoPro. Today A business left out a Canon Color Laser printer. I did manager to re.9ve the idea hard drive and the memory.
    I did remove the power supply boards and that was a job doing that. I removed the heavy duty power cord without destroying it.
    So much of this printer has aluminum plating on the back.
    I couldn't even move it due to the weight.
    It was left outside I f a dumpster. I unplugged everything without cutting.
    The tempature was 93 and sat on the grass to dismantle.
    I wish you were around Mike as this job required your strength.

      Every time he jumps from the dumpster he’s contributing to his future knee replacement(s). My plumber friend just had his done at 55. The Orthopedic doc said it wasn’t so much from kneeling but rather, jumping three feet off the back of his truck everyday for thirty years. It adds up.
