    For scrapping, you are spoiled in Calgary. Maybe a new video series as well? Scrapping across the nation.
    Re the wire - you have a stripmeister - run it through, it will cut one of the inner wires at the same time. One pass = two bare bright.

    Well, I haven’t said much even though I am still watching, but my 4Runner was involved in an accident a few weeks back and was totaled. Not my fault, luckily, and the other guy’s insurance is going to pay out (hopefully soon!) but I have been out of the game since then and I am going crazy! Luckily my buddy who let me borrow his S-10 a couple years back is going to sell it to me for cheap, so I will have a scrap truck (an open bed will be sooo much better than an SUV) that is already… not trashed, but let’s say I won’t have to worry about it if it gets dinged up a little as it already has some “love” to it. But I have been going stir-crazy, not to mention not making any money. Ad thing is that I keep seeing stuff I would pick up, including a passel of brake rotors nearby! I just hope they are still there when I finally get the truck. My plan is to go “HAM” on some scrapping and save for a car I can drive that looks decent and gets good gas mileage. Cross your fingers for me!!! Oh, and as always, great video! Thanks for helping me want to keep doing the thing. Take care, Drake!

    Been watching for a while and love the fact that you can make a little money and leave the environment better than you found it! Quick question that may have been asked before. Do you have any friends that are contractors, plumbers etc that might be interested in some of the select scrap? I am a handyman and I would give 2 to 3 times the amount you might get for the pipe, fixtures, electrical etc. Might not be worth the hassle? Thanks again for everything.

    So many collecting scrap around London nowadays.
