    That "go cart" is- or rather was a Quantum powered wheelchair base and the back of a seat. 4 casters and central 2 wheels were removed along with the seat.

    There is something so satisfying when you find all that scrap metal that was going to end up in the landfill, making some money from it, and it being recycled to be reused.

    Mike the fishing poles with the tips broke off you can replace the tip. And the other reasons you punch and kick the bumpers is easy to figure out you do that to see if there is a animal in them and to see how full it is by the sound it makes

  • @MrPhil1969
    @MrPhil1969 Год назад +4

    I have seen such a thing. The ol' Thermos Fire and Ice. I do love that thing. It's an all in one picnic. It looks like you got all the accessories with it too. The white container is a grease catch that goes on one end and the black things in the cooler are shelves that slide into each side. And the regulator goes on the 1# propane tanks.

    My friend Brad. He save all his copper from dumpster diving. After 20 years of collecting. When #1 copper price rose to $4.50Ibs. he decided to sell to scrap yard. 40ft container full of copper. It ended up being. Just over 8500Ibs. He used the money to buy a new truck. Fully paid. I wish I had the commitment to save copper for that long. As of rite now 02/10/23. copper prices were I live is, $2.95Ibs.

    I'm an experienced long-time dumpster diver, and what I hated most was when I found a dumpster that was a regular gold mine for me and some other dumpster diver would always leave a big mess to the point where the store would padlock their dumpster, ruining it for everybody else. I'm happy to see you don't do that. 😊
