Thank you so much for your protective attitude about books. Books are so important. To see your confusion and outrage when people toss away all that knowledge - well, it tells us who you are, Mike. A damn fine human being.
I used to work for the railroad rebuilding locomotives, our shop was in an industrial area and I met a scrapper like you once, he and his wife scrapped exclusively, that is all they did. He did what you do and she got ALL the cardboard and pallets, They Left nothing in the dumpsters. Every time I saw them they were filthy because they scrapped the industrial waste from the complex I worked in. I met them out once I was eating at a restaurant and this man and just drop dead gorgeous woman came up and were like "Hey Jim!!" How are you/" It took me 20 seconds to place these two looking like movie stars in the old tee shirts and jeans I saw them in most days.
@@sharlinearce2280I used to help a neighbor show cattle at the county fairs. They would wear their barn clothes to whatever the nicest restaurant near the show. They went in and order the most expensive thing on the menu. None of the servers wanted to wait on them. When they were ready they handed their server 100.00. In the 70s that was alot
my friend who is also a youtube scraper uses a trampoline canvas as a cover for his dump trailer to keep stuff from blowing out going down the highway ..its better than a plastic tarp because air blows through it..
My heart was overjoyed when you rescued those books.. knowledge is priceless, powerful, and life altering--books allow us all to learn, explore, grow, and expand our lives..thanks Mike!!!
Mike is the most entertaining scrapper. I love how he always has a positive attitude. He works hard and has fun while doing it. I just wish I had a truck so I could go find me some good scrappity scrap.
Thankyou , you make me laugh and cry daily with your humour and philosophy of life. I am not sure if you are aware that the glass round plate that one finds in the microwave is easy to sell as it is likely many users have a broken glass rotating plate and very needy of purchasing a replacement for ten dollars approximately .. Also your respect for the use and saving of old dumpster tools and found books of all varieties is so good to the heart. Your values are so wise and I hope more people will follow your pearls of wisdom concerning never to throw out books or used tools , etc. Recycling is awesome !!!!
Some of those Andrew cables and connectors could well be useful to the Ham Radio guys, many use those "commercial" / "professional" patch leads and connectors.
Just got my amazing t-shirts. Fantastic,colour ,great, size perfection. Thank you so much . People they are so good go buy 1....2.....3.... Gotta be strong ......... jen xx
Jelly roll, my go to when my head and heart are at war. No words can explain his realness. You just have to listen. One of the reasons I love watching your videos. You get the good, the bad, and the ugly. Along with some dumpster juice! Keep on keeping it real!
Greetings Mike. This was an AWESOME adventure. Thank you for letting us come along. PLEASE be CAREFUL. Stay hydrated, humble and kind always. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
Man that heliax cable is EXPENSIVE. I use lots of it for radio systems. Some of those connectors are $50-$100 each. Let alone the cable.i’d be interested in some of those cables.
If my hubby was a scrapper I would be all up in his truck helping!!!! But my son and I love to “think” about dumpster diving but scared of going to jail lol 😂
Just do a little research on if it's illegal or not in your area. You can also go and talk to the owners of the company/business your diving. Let them know you're saving the environment and making a few bucks while ensuring some items don't go to the landfill. Alot of them won't mind and give you permission. Might make you sign a liability waver.
You found some Real Interesting Stuff again - these Dumpsters have been Good to You - wow ! It was a Brilliant Dumpster Diving Adventure again - we love it ! Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
There used to be a neat magazine called "Found" that printed pictures and stories of stuff like that- family heirlooms, photo albums, etc. that people found abandoned, in thrift stores, or in the trash. I don't think it's around any more, but it was a nice mag to look at.
Hey Mike just watched your video and did a quick search on Ebay and found a Racal recorder like the two you found and it was listed for $2,500.00 Australian dollars so you may be able to get some real cash for those two. Great video as always, keep up the good work and good luck with the recorders. Stay safe mate, your Australian friend, Rob.
Mike, those are real to real recorders, Dad would send us tapes while he was stationed in Vietnam, so we wouldn't forget what he sounded like, I'm quite sure they are collector's item now.
@@grannyandthebearscrappers1633 My Dad sent cassette tapes, two- one for the family and a separate one for Mom only. Decades later I was talking to my older brothers about them and they said "Didn't you hear the mortar fire and explosions?" , I said "No, I just heard Daddy's voice". Oh, to be that young and naive again.
Last racal reel recorder sold for 1200 plus shipping on ebay. Also those reels that were in there with it if they are emi or racal even used they get around 50 for 3 on the bay
I couldn't help but think of all the document boxes and the potential of then having old original user manuals and documentation for old computer/mainframe equipment. That stuff sells pretty well. I'd have probably gotten the reels too. Label them as unknown content, undercut the ori6of other sellers and pure profit.
Well scavenger might look like you had a successful evening in the jungle of dumpster diving some awesome footage thank you for sharing it you video it I'll watch it
Mike good to see you and another scrapping good time video. When using those 48" LED fluorescent bulbs replacement no ballast is needed and is wired differently. Save a few of them and make a video on wiring them up.
You are so right about people who throw out boots. It is disgusting how are tossed out. Bookstores are one of the biggest offenders. Dang, if you don't want them at the least you could do is donate them. Libraries, schools, retirement homes.... And yeah, Jelly Roll is great. His lyrics are sometimes brutally honest for some. Like song in the song, I only pray.
I'm the same way Mike, I can't believe it when I find old books in the dumpster. I can't believe that people throw them away. I find books, all the time, as early as the 1910s in a dumpster behind a certain thrift store. I save what I can when I come across them
The Cold Shrink Kit is basically a thick Rubber sleeve that has a stiff plastic liner that is keeping the Rubber sleeve artificially expanded to around twice it's diameter. Pull on the tabs at the end and the inner plastic unwraps itself from the inside (middle) shrinking the Rubber onto whatever it is placed around - normally placed onto one cable before a joint is made then placed across the joint before shrinking - you may have silicon grease or other product inside before enclosure. Good bit of kit, used to use these on Telecoms joints 30 years ago, so they've been around for years!
Hey Mike , loving your video's and appreciate your up beat attitude and hard work ethics. So happy you saved those books and many others that you save. Your local thrift and charity shops would love them. Thanks for the entertainment.
Insane find with those racal reel to reels. One is posted on ebay for 2K with the same stuff you have. You can definitely get some nice profit off of those
Those Racal tape recorders are magnetic tape recorders used in the early days of mainframe computers. The particular one with maintenance manual is worth a pretty penny as vintage industrial digital electronic machinery. It could fetch a nice price on the second hand market on Ebay or such. If you'd throw in a few of those magnetic tapes too, I'm fairly certain a digital computer buff will be glad to take it off your hands for a decent price. Either way, they deserve to be kept safe as authentic electronic equipment
I was thinking about all those document boxes that could have had any number of original user manuals for various early computer and mainframe equipment. I've had good luck with that stuff on eBay. Several months ago I found a mid-80s dot matrix printer that would have been worth a pretty penny if it could have been made functional again. It was too far gone unfortunately. However it had it's original owners manual in the box which sold very quickly.
Some times i find myself saying scrappy do da . I can only imagine where i got that from lol ! I enjoy the entertainment you provide. Thank you for being awesome.
Just to be clear folks... if Mike needs a Time off.. HE TAKES A DAMN TIME OFF! he doenst life for our entertainment. .. he live and show somes of his stuff . WITH entertainment... SCrappydy scrap scrap time.. we like mike (y) got get it scrap tiger :P
Mike, you are my husband and i’s favorite channel! Seriously, you make us laugh so hard at times. We are always so excited when you find great things! I do have one question…….what do your neighbors think when your out there late at night yelling alright, alright, alright?? Hahaha
I love old books 📚, the history is so amazing. Take the medical or anything newer to the college bookstore. They buy them and resell them. I always bought used books 📚.
Thank you so much for your protective attitude about books. Books are so important. To see your confusion and outrage when people toss away all that knowledge - well, it tells us who you are, Mike. A damn fine human being.
He finds the xray machine, and just by chance happens to be sporting skeleton gloves and shirt! What a country!

I’m a book lover and I appreciate you liking them too! Yes! I have seen videos on those dumpsters being full of books and videos!
I love that you rescue books,knowledge, history Mike. Savoring for the next generation, when shtf.
Some of those Andrew cables and connectors could well be useful to the Ham Radio guys, many use those "commercial" / "professional" patch leads and connectors.
It's great that you save books too! Knowledge is more valuable than much else in this world ... You are doing a great job!
You just earned a viewer for life. Saving books and liking Jelly roll. Love both.
Just got my amazing t-shirts.
Fantastic,colour ,great, size perfection. Thank you so much . People they are so good go buy 1....2.....3....

Scrappity scrap scrap! Mike the Scavenger is in the dumpster!! Oh yeah

Should’ve picked up those reels too. Might’ve been some interesting stuff on them. 🤙

19:32 Maybe retro computer stuff enthusiasts are interested in those magnetic tapes. Those are used in old mainframes.
Awesome videos. your a natural. Your the kind of guy that can get along with anyone.
The best scrapper in the USA
Best Loved poems of the American people my mom raised me on that book. we still read it together today. She's 89 this month.
Send us some of that 🌧️ Mike!! We DESPERATELY need it up here in Wyoming and Montana!!!

You are so Blessed Mike with scrap!!
If you like jellyroll look up Ryan Upchurch has music is fire...and he does rock , rap , and country. And he's a down to earth AWSOME guy.
Sooooo soooo great!
Mike good to see you and another scrapping good time video. When using those 48" LED fluorescent bulbs replacement no ballast is needed and is wired differently.

The big lights from green open top. That's what i would work on in the Air Force. Lineman loved the job
Ham radio community will be interested in those cables.
I wish people would stop throwing books away. There is always somebody who would like to have them. Keep up the good work on books mike.
The current administration doesn’t want you looking at old books
Really!! I did not know that!!!!! I going to camp out !! I love books, if I could take all books from thrift stores, yard sales, I would!!
So glad to see your back Mike 👍👍👍👍👍

Yup I’m a cable splicer and used to use them all the time. We used to bring them home and use them on shovel and rake handles.
Mike you would win Gold in the dumpster olympics man
MIKE Thankyou for the video
Hey Mike , loving your video's and appreciate your up beat attitude and hard work ethics. So happy you saved those books and many others that you save. Your local thrift and charity shops would love them. Thanks for the entertainment.
Insane find with those racal reel to reels. One is posted on ebay for 2K with the same stuff you have. You can definitely get some nice profit off of those
think the tapes would have been worth picking too honestly. maybe not his deal but those would sell in facebook, vintage audio groups or ebay
Doing good Mike. Go get 'em.
Jellyroll is one of my favorite artists
Watching old videos of yours been listening to jelly roll for a very long time also love yelawolf! Got a slumerican sticker on my scrap getter!
