Dumpster Diving "That One Ate My Dinner!"
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!

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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

Mike- The Hercules of Dumpster Diving👍👍
As the blue metal cabinet goes over the top of the dumpster , Shhh...... Mike your a friend to the earth.
"Gotta be strong", brother Mike your an animal ! That Pallet jack would've kicked my butt fore sure. Awesome dumpster run, a plethora of diving goodness 👍✌️🤟🤙 Awoooo Y'all!
Anyone else clench when Mike was getting the pallet jack out of the dumpster???😬 Mike, I appreciate all Your hard work!!
The Scavenger Olympics Gold Medal winner in the Pallet-Jack-Lift-Out-Of-A-Dumpster-Competition is MIKE!
I say , Mike is crazy good at making his viewers happy.
That was an awesome haul you found today!! Lots of everything, new shoes👞, tons of wires, metal, etc.... Hard work and a big payday!!!
Felt knackered just watching you pull the pallet jack out.
After your epic battle with that pallet jack I think you need a minion or two. Please stay safe out there and take care of yourself.
This is better then therapy, relaxing and fun.
Mike you are a FIGHTER when it comes to money in the dumpsters. Stay strong and be happy 💪👏👍😉
12:30- that was a good lick man great find!! 👌
Holy hell you hit the jackpot on wire
That hose is good to use over tie down straps. To keep the straps from rubbing on metal and wearing out fast. Just use sections as a sleeve.
I am loving the close up shot of the wire ends. Thank you for including that Mike you're the best! 💯❤️
Oh my I didn't think you was going to get the fork lift out. Man it ware me out 😂. Got to be strong 💪😂
THANK YOU MIKE FOR DOING YOUR PART IN KEEPING LOTS OF THINGS OUT OF THE LANDFILL. WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST DONATE THINGS RATHER THAN THROWING IN THE TRASH, THERES PLENTY OF PLACES, NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND, THAT YOU CAN DONATE TO.

Dang Mike, there's NO quit in YOU! I can't even imagine wrestling with that pallet jack in that heat and humidity. 😫 Even after all the shelving, extension cord and EVERYTHING else, you give us a 40+ minute video. I hope you know how loved you are and I'm certain you have enough loyal fans, that we would stick with you if you wanted to make some shorter videos during this HEAT WAVE. We would be a little bummed, as some of us can't get enough of you, but...YOUR health is more important! Sending LOVE (but sadly no cooler temps) from Arizona. 💜 🤗 I 💙 MTS! 🐼💪🧦😍

Watching this reminds me when I was a kid and the electric company through all their unused ends and scrapes made over 300 in aluminum we took all home and stripped all down
Kickass evening I say, that's knocking it out of the park MIKE! Absolutely loved that episode, Well Done. Until the next episode or follow up get some well needed rest you most certainly deserve it.😴👏🏻👊🏻
Enjoy your videos.... hope you're doing well staying 😎 cool 👍👍👍👍
Had to remind myself to breath while you were lifting the Mighty Lift.... You have earned a steak and tall cool one!!!!
So glad I found you! Always a treat to watch what you find! Watch your head! 😁😁😁
If this video gets 100k likes, Mike will do a scrap run on those high heels!
Man, it amazes me what people throw out, I've found tons of neat stuff too over the years, that pallet jack looks like nothing is wrong with it, it's not leaky looking and the wheels look fine. Good scores man!
Good luck there Mike sold comps on Ebay for the Mustang shoes are 40 bucks and above depending on the style!! Just never know what people are going to throw away !! Cool little ice maker as well a little vinegar will clean it right up !!
Awesome haul! Take care of yourself in that heat, and thanks for the nice long video!
Can’t wait for the wire follow up and scrap yard run! It’s like Christmas morning when you find a mess of wire!😃
WOW! this yellow kable container! looks like the motherload of kable,hahaha lots of scapping but a decent ammount of cupper! good for you,buddy. stay save and hydraded in this damn heat outthere! have a good one, greetings from germany!
Bet you slept well after that night of scavenging and well done for getting the pallet truck out not easy to get 👍 👍
I'm watching a fella look through bins and I have never been more entertained, fantastic stuff!!
Mike! You are a real stud! That Pallet Jack must have weighed a ton, and for you to pull it out the top of that dumpster! You are truly an inspiration!
That mighty lift looked fun!
Congratulations to you on all the wire and everything else GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Just an idea if you are unable to sell them, almost every city has a place where women running from domestic violence can find shelter. Often they leave with the clothes on their backs and little else, items like the shoes might find a great home there. Thanks for the great videos. I enjoy them very much!
