      bought from china , many times if theres an issue with somthing like that its down to you to pay return shipping as its kinda expensive its often cheaper and or easier to just dump it and take the loss

      I hate when you see stuff that's now with tags on it and the store destroys it so you won't get any use out of it.

      You should check with your doctor about that. Your blood should not be getting anywhere close to boiling.

    Mike you make my heart smile every time! Mike's throwing all the heavy boxes full of weight lifting belt buckles and says "maybe I need to start lifting weights"! 🤣🤣🤣

      I hope he doesn't harm his hips and knees with all that jumping down into dumpsters and then lifting up heavy items out of there. He certainly doesn't need a "gym" membership.

      I remember the episode, when Mike found a dumpster full of some heavy machinery (maybe chinese excavator?) parts and he moved all of them into the truck. The weight he moved in a couple of hours, in the end was out of this world.

      That’s how you realise how wealthy a society is: in their throw always.
      Did dumpster diving in 1970ies in Germany, but only for antiques and other fleamarket objects. Found a lot of stuff from 1900 to 1950ies, brought me a lot of money.

      Be weary... When that plastic starts to fail from UV, it will all disintegrate soon afterwards!
      My brother has the same set... It only lasted 3 years! And it was kept covered when not being used!

    Hi Mike, I love your videos. Your energy seeps from the screen. Or maybe that's just the juice. 😊 Myself and my wife were looking at your latest video and we were wondering if you have ever had an injury from dumpster diving. You know fell into or out of a dumpster. Just looking at how you jump into those dumpsters I'm in total fear you might land on something you might not want to. Anyway take care out there and stay safe. Nigel and Michelle in Ireland. 🇮🇪.
