  • 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.

    I can't figure out why I keep finding myself watching your vids bro', who would ever think watching some random youtuber dumpster diving could be so entertaining. It's more you Mike than what you are doing, you make it what it is. I've tried the other DD vids but they just don't have the humor and personality that you have. Anyway, this is by far the #1 scavenging channel.

    I’m sitting here in Carlsbad NM watching Mike dumpster dive and waiting on my daughter who’s in the Dr. office.. I smell smoke and shut off my car thinking it’s getting hot and I just ran over a VW Bug sized tumbleweed so I’m looking around and low and behold the dumpster in front of me is smoking!!!!! There was a towel just burning 🔥! I dumped out two bottles of water and half a sprite but it’s out!!!

    Ohhh Mike, please don’t leave those samples in the dumpsters. You can give them away at your yard sales. What a great thing to do for your customers. It will always bring them back to the next one. If there’s one thing any fan of yours can attest to is that you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to doing. You’ve lifted things into Dollie that I Never thought you could do. 😊. Love you. 😘😘🌈🇨🇦

    Little tip for ya , if ends of your grabbers seem to slip off things. I wrapped elastics around then ends to give it more grip. Worked for me. Love your vids Mike always know I will get a chuckle or two .

    • @pinkerbot
      @pinkerbot 2 роки тому

      Or you can buy a product called 'plasti dip'. It is a thick rubber goo that you normally would dip tool handles into to make them more grippy. I think it would be perfect for the grabbers!
