Curbside Scavenging "The Expedition Edition"
Ойын-сауық
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!

I'll claim a little of that credit, thank you very much, a lot of us scrappers don't just do it for the chump change we get per hour of hard work that's for sure. I brought in almost 500 pounds of various metals this morning to start my week 😊
Man you can open up a bike store with all those 😂 Great video Mike 👍🏻keep on scraping brother 💙🧡❤

It's amazing how you'll get a run on things that you either buy or sell. Back when we had our salvage yard it would be headlight day or tail light day and on those days if we sold 250 items half of them would be tail lights or whatever was busy that day. It really was amazing what people would leave in their cars without a thought in their heads with their leaving in the car. One time I found $40 in change in an ashtray and another time I found a whole lot of cash that had just fallen out of the pocket I guess. The one thing you never did was look before the car was on the truck or back at the shop 25:55 it was something that was for a particular interest to the homeowner of course we would attempt to get that back to them but if it was a ratchet or a socket and they left it in the car that fell under their own due diligence and their own stupidity. As always Mike nice job. Best regards, Bob from Virginia USA

And a trampoline pole shop! 🤔😂 Must be a sale going on for trampolines & bikes. Everyone's getting rid of their old ones to buy new ones.
I hope give all these bikes away to kids who would love them... I was so shocked at what you got as well.... NICE LOAD well done Mike love from Australia
Mike Mike Mike!!!! Dude-a-saurus-rex!!!! So much stuff saved!!!! Thanks for taking us along with you! I appreciate you!!!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work !!! Stay weird!!!!
If any of your local fire departments or police stations do toy drives at Christmas, they make take all the bikes you find, service them, fix them up and do a big giveaway for kids. What a blessing!
I'm always amazed at some of the stuff you find, what people throw away is just outrageous. A lot of this stuff could be donated or least used by someone!

I doubt they're eviction. He goes through very nice neighborhoods. Eviction would have pure garbage at the road and not neatly either.
That black shelf thing was for golf clubs and sporting stuff
You have enough bikes to start your own bike shop.😂😂 Love your videos ❤❤❤❤❤
It always surprises me with how you can fit all that stuff in the trunk. God bless u all.
You packed and stacked Dottie, Mike. The scrap hunt was amazing .
Unbelievable Mike! It was an awesome trip. Thanks Mike, go rest you deserve it.😊...
Here comes another great scrap run.
You Crack me up. Don't ever let one tell you take some calm down meds cuz you make this what you do fun. Thank you for making my day brighter !!!!
I am always amazed at the amount of new things that get tossed out. Must be a neighbourhood with more stuff than I own. What a fun scavenge great work Mike
You have no idea how excited I get when I see a new video from you! You teach us something, make us laugh and do great work all at once. Keep doing you, Mike! You’re making the world a better place. Thank you. 😊
I wish your video’s were longer. They are just over too quick. This is my favorite channel on you tube. Thx Mike.
Haha, Mike you are unstoppable. CB radio is still widely used. keep on scraping Mike, it's fun for me to follow.
As one of you "ham guys"... I'd love to come across a hoard of old radios like that! Good stuff Mike.
I love riding along Mike. You out did yourself on this trip Way to go !!👌👍👏
You are absolutely the best. I would love to see you handing out the bikes and toys you give away. You’re a good man Mike.
So the Suncast line of stuff includes outside storage and stuff like that. Bike heaven! I'm sure you'll make sure they find a good home! Crushing on the huge chandeliers! Thanks for letting us tag along!
It’s 90 degrees in southern Minnesota today. I hope that you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
💕 for hard working Dottie. 🇨🇦
You always fill that truck up Mike. I can't believe howmuch you manage to get stuffed in the back of that truck! 👍👍👍👍 love it! ❤❤❤❤❤ God Bless you and ALL your loved ones. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Look like a very profitable night for you great job. You really need to do a update on this load.😊
Half thought u were going to grab the Pirate blankets. Lol great as always love y'all and God bless.
Holy cow, I sure would've liked to have seen all those humongous chandeliers hanging up in that house! Those ceilings must've been reinforced big time!!
Hola mike I enjoyed your video. Have a wonderful evening love and God bless.❤ 💕♥️🙏🙏🙏👍✌️😇
With your hilarious audio commentary and distinct voice, I can't help but think how good would a "Mike The Scavenger" character be on The Simpsons or Family Guy.....
ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE! Wow - Wow - Wow! I never thought I'd see such an amazing haul of such awesome things that are usable and valuable. I sure wish there were great things to find around where we live. Anyway, thank you So Much for sharing with us. MTS You Is The Man and nobody can EVEN Compete With You. So once again Wow, and Thank You, Thank You Thank You! I am so glad that years I came across your channel, started following you, and never quit. You're just the best, just the Absolute Best, and nobody could possibly EVER be better than Mike The Scavenger!
That's a good lick Mike. Nice tool box. I like watching your videos. Good clean entertainment. You come up with some funny stuff. ✌️
I am just blown away by ,,,, not only the amount of scrap that you can find,,, but also the amount of resalable merch,,, I can see why you get up before the chickens do,, lol,, :-)
The way Mike fits all that stuff on Dottie, I can guarantee that he played Tetris when he was a kid. 😂😂
Mike, great haul. I do miss Texas, but you bring a little bit of home to me
Thank you Mike, for bringing some sainity in my insane world, by giving some escapism from the day to day grind. Scavenge safe, you little dumpster diving devil you!!! 😁
Wow amazing finds. Lots of bikes, great tool box. God bless you and be safe 😊
Wow you had a great haul. All those bikes and tool box. Amazes me what people throw out! Keep on hauling that good scrap!
Mikethescavenger hit the motherload!
Mike~~~~~what a great day/night you had!! Would LOVE to see a follow up on that Truck full for sure!
Mike Thank you for another video. The weather outside is 94° today and near The St.Lawrence river.
Nie spodziewałem się dziś kolejnego odcinka. ❤
Tool Box was a score in itself!!
Wow, just wow!
Love your videos😊 and follow ups, can't wait for another one😃. Oh and 👊 from Estonia 🇪🇪!!!
It amazes me how much good stuff people throw away.
That is an incredible stacking job. Poor Dottie! And I know you find new drivers for the better bikes. Good on you.
I just love it when you find all that cool stuff!! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
Oh man! That pillow on the patio furniture reminded me I was supposed to be pick up a new one at that orange big-box store I was at today. dang it I hate it when I forget stuff like that!
Another dark morning start nice.
Did everyone at least chuckle when Mike said " pickn up some scraps on the curb" when he was fiddling with that first set of broken chairs? In that hilarious voice he makes. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love when he has me laugh in the first minute. Way to go Mr. Scavenger Sir. ❤
The thing that cracks me up is you never find just one. If you a bike , you'll find at least two. Think about it. Hot water heater, BBQ, Microwave, bed frame, washing machine, ect. Never one. Thanks for taking us along.
Dammmmm mike....that was the best stuff...so jelly when you found the punisher hitch...all good stuff...even the bike and the tool box...🤙
Lots of reusable goodies on that run. One man’s trash is another’s treasure.
When i was in washington state my wife took me to a restore i think it was called, people donated all types of hardware, tools, lumber, fixtures and more. I bought a king size pine bedframe with the coolest big posts and headboard for 50! It was huge place and fun to shop at! I wish there was a place like that close to me.
Fine hall of goodies right there!! Some resealable items as well!! Fine run!! Peace ✌☮!
Resale value on this stuff is so good
Wow, amazing what people throw out, glad you got it all!
That’s cool you name the frogs Pete. I live in south Florida and we name all the little lizards Freddy. Great video Mike. ❤
What a haul! Good for you keeping all that out of the landfill!
I get the old CB's to local farmers. They use them in the tractors to communicate with each other or the shop to get more seed or towed or flat fixed.
Loved it. As usual. Keep on scrapping.
Mike you can fine anything great video keep them coming love to watch you scavenge .
.Nice haul Mike you need to open a second hand shop and sell your finds. You will get more than the scrap yard would give you. Scrap the junk sell the rest and you didn't have to jump in the dumpster juice. Peace Brother stay safe God bless.
The doll head could've been Dollys mascot. It would have looked great on your hood.. 😅
That's how you stuff a truck awesome video bro happy scrapping
Beautiful time scavenging.

That was a hell of a scrap run. I'm a bit of a hoarder I probably would keep a lot of that stuff especially those chandeliers

He said in early videos his wife puts a limit on things and I don't blame her. Did you see the video where he remodeled his kitchen? Nice job.
always a pleasure

No wonder you were tired! Holy moly! What a great haul, those bikes and light fixtures alone will pay for your gas Mike.

Tremendous!! The Expedition Edition is the best I have ever seen for ya. Not much scrap but in resellables, Wow! Wave and wootwoot from KYgirl.
This video reminds me of your video, when you said the sides were too high. Nothing is too high for Dottie!! Dottie rocks!!❤
We need you to start up "Mike's Bikes" free for the taking to kids of all sizes. Great run todays
Every day is like Christmas! What another great video. So fun and relaxing to watch. So funny to hear the comedic narration.
Great video. You had quite the haul between the bikes and the trampolines! ❤
Once again you conqured the beast.Great haul.
So many haul today sir keep it up be strong always
Real nice finds , some amazing bits ...A.T.V.B. from sunny SCOTLAND
That sewing machine is worth something. I've seen those go at auctions for $200+
Nice haul, that tool chest is a nice score! Keep the vids coming, best entertainment on the tube my friend 😎👍🏾
That looked like a lot of fun. Animal
Bikeopolis!!! Cheers Mike
Your videos just make me happy.
Excellent haul Mike
Cant wait to see a follow up on this one !!!
That's a really big load! Sweet!
Hey MIKEY!!! you are gonna have to make new side rails for hauling bicycles.🙀🤣
*Edited bc I didn’t proofread well. I love that Mike has fun with words. I do this as well! There are just some words…so many different meanings can be construed just by the inflections used. “SHAFT” is definitely one of those words. 😂 Much 💕 to the Scavenger Family!
