About Adventures Made From Scratch: I’m just a regular guy who likes to find adventure in day to day life. We may not be able to go travel the world, but there are plenty of opportunities at our door step. I do a mix of vintage car stuff, scrapyard stuff, nature hiking, and who knows what else?!? Come with me as I take you along for a ride in my world! My 2nd Channel: / @moreadventuresmadefro...
A friend of mine owns a grocery store. One night she put the deposit bag in the pocket behind the driver's seat. Stopped to grab some gas and car was stolen. They found the car 2 weeks later damaged and abandoned. When she went to see the car the deposit bag was still behind the seat! Over 80K !!! The thieves never looked
I enjoy every video
Going through a car is my favorite part of junking them !!!😊👍👍👍👍👍
Keep going with your adventures. I've been layed up since January with a health issues. When younger I loved to roam the auto salvage yard's.
I'm right there with you I spent the last six months trying to get over major shoulder surgery
Do to a bad back I'm retired. Hopefully by next summer I'll in shape to find my own
adventures. But an till then I'll enjoy your adventures.
Love videos like this. Always been my dream to own a junkyard and or to have free run of one for a day. Wish I could get to where you are and snatch a rust free 80-86 f150. Trying to restore my 81 short bed and finding a good parts truck is becoming a job. Congratulations on your success, well deserved.
I love the universal wrench in the Ford PU that u said would make some wild glasses. I LOL when you put them on your nose and they were perfectly set for your eyes
My favorite segment! I really enjoy watching you go through the scrap cars finding treasures left behind.
Silas, the brass rings and steel bits in the glove compartment at 15:45 are a grommet set for adding grommets to tarps. It can be handy!
The best change find I ever had was back in 1970, The city of Boston cleaned up hundreds of abandoned cars around the city. I found the yard they brought them to and spent the summer harvesting the change. The cars went back to the 40s up to the early 60s, so the interiors were metal with Phillip screws. I would come out of there with both front pockets full, maybe $10.00 in each.
Man, must have found a lot of silver doing that!
@@ZaibatsuHeavyIndustries I wish I knew then what I know now.
Standard shift knobs are cool. That's what you need to save. Just having a box of various shift knobs. Your vids are popular because of the subject, the experience, how you explain the economics of junking, and watching somebody else's junked auto go off to glory. I hated to see the Studebakers go, but they were absolute junk, and the land is better off with them removed. No go clean up your back woods wrecks and some of the heavily damaged hulks you've saved, and clean the land! I'd also like to know how the stuff sent to the Texas antique show paid off.
An old freind ran a scrap yard years ago and he would save all the tools found in the cars. When he closed the yard,the wrenches and other things filled a pickup tray. A couple of tons!.
A penny saved (from the crusher) is a penny earned. Money is money. When it is free from a junk car it is even better. And it adds up really quick.
I enjoy watching your videos your camera work and volume is nice you don't ham it up for the camera or constantly tell us how good you are I'm a humble man and I see it in you you were brought up to work for what you have I call it old school
Several of my friends salvage yards save all the keys from cars going to the crusher, both some key fobs got value to other buyers & the rest of the brass keys go into 55 gallon drums, a 55 gallon drum of scrap brass is good money & they do add up quite quickly, bullets go into a brass bucket too ,specifically cartridges & casings as well as live ammunition, the same goes with the found change, much of it is dumped into old compressed gas cylinders with a slit cut into it & every year they cut it open & split the money among the crew members, he doesn't keep it ! & it does really add up quite quickly, & it cannot easily be moved either as its spot welded to a iron beam ,it gets cut off every Christmas season & a new cylinder gets welded up every January
The Zenith TV is pretty collectible. It's a white & salmon looking color. It'll be cool if it works.
The colorful older TVs are usually more valuable than the solid black or woodgrain ones.
Silas you are one of the best. The world needs more people like you. I wish you were closer to the north I'd be all over your yards. Keep it up.
Congratulations on 25K subs, Silas! It's been an absolute blast watching you over the past months as you crush...um......wait. Uhhhhh...is that a casket behind you?
The the heck , a wooden coffin in the back ground,is that your final resting pin box, lollll, thanks BigAl California.
that was a nice pistol cleaning kit you tossed when you found all the ammo. that was your best treasure and I find it hard to believe you dont recognize a gun cleaning kit when you see one
Who knows how old it is. Cleaning supplies don’t have a long shelf life in the elements. I’d just buy new stuff.
Congrats on 25k+ subs. Just goes to show you don’t have to bungee jump naked to get the views. Thanks for the great vids. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
7:06 I know it’s not a white Bronco but finding gloves in a 90s Bronco brings back some memories of a notorious slow speed chase and subsequent trial!
Good video . I used to find a lot of stuff pulling parts, I had a borrow tool box full of found tools.
Good evening, I really enjoy watching your videos, I to old to do anything else. Sorry about the wording. Thank you for taking the time to video from Steve Gullison st.Stephen N.B Canada
Hey Cy, fire extinguishers, turn, dry powder type upside down and give a tap to loosen powder that will become compacted. Hold it to your ear, youll hear the powder drop when you rap it.
You should pick a random subscriber at 50k at let them come hangout for a few hours and maybe do a treasure hunt and crush a few cars. You are better then any garbage on TV and its awesome to see you taking off.
If I was the winner he would probably never be able to get rid of me 😆
@@waynecurrie9017 If you have junk cars and a crusher, you can get rid of anybody!
I am not watching TV or sports anymore,I am hooked on these videos. I hope he shows more treasures found in the treasures.
Who doesn't like snooping under the couch cushions or under car seats for loose change or forgotten goodies. 😊😊😊
If you tape a quarter to your back, you'll be a quarterback, or 2 quarters, and be a halfback, and so on.
I’ve been subbed since 1-3k I don’t remember exactly but I love your channel and always have! Hope to see you at 50k then 100k soon!
Always a thumbs up from me. Been watching since the 3 part farm clean up
Keep it up. You're videos are being enjoyed in Maine. Stay safe.
downeast maine chapter checking in.
Poland Maine chapter checking in.
And now its over 87k subs. People like your positivity. At least I do. Thanks for that
You should put all owners manuals to the side & start slinging them. That's a pretty good Hustle. There are a lot of vehicle owners that would pay top dollar for the manual. I bet once you start doing that you'd be surprised on how much money you make
You should keep the stuff and have a drawing for what you have found . Perhaps when you reach 50 thousand subs. Give all the money in a jar to closet guess. .just a thought. Love your videos keep them coming.we will keep watching.
I owned a salvage yard for 36 years. I once bought a Camaro and found almost $30.00 in change in the trunk.
Science when I'm down and out and feeling sad you're the person that picks me up and and entertains me with your videos have good values you have a wonderful family I wish you the best you're the man keep the good work up thank you for being you
in the Dodge you are saving has a grommet kit and tool for tarps in the glove compartment . great tool for fixing old tarps.
I betcha there is at least one lincoln owner looking for a car phone. Super great video!
Silas - Junkyard treasure choice to 5 subscribers, drawn randomly, their choice of one treasure selection! Love your channel - lets grow more! Chuck in NE Kansas
Congrats on 25K! Always get a big kick out of watching your videos! Next treasure hunt....dont forget to check the ashtrays on the older cars...thats where I always use to keep spare change!
Congratulations!
Keep up buddy 👍 we're all behind you love the videos 📹
Congratulations on 25,000 subscribers!
Silas: "What do we have over here?"
Us: "Hepatitis. You have hepatitis if you keep touching those sketchy ass interiors without gloves."
It’s all good. Just a few precautions and common sense and I’m good to go.
I like your video's.
I AM from the Netherlands.
In the past in work at a car junkyard
I have find some good stuff.
I can watch IT all day.
I AM a new sub.
Many greetz from the Netherlands
4:41 The car you are climbing on looks exactly like my '94 Acclaim, we paid $5500 for it in '97 and scrapped it in 2013 when the engine wore out. One of the most reliable cars i ever had.
A penny saved is a penny earned! I’d love to see you get a clear container for the coins you find and show it’s progress over time… just a thought!
Congratulations , I always enjoy your vids!
Well done, shows you are doing it right. 🌻🇦🇺
Hi , hold onto keychains , people collect them and will always want more , thanks, great shows
26.9 subscribers now , fun fun fun times , watching the corky stuff that you come up with , lot of ideas 💡, thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏.
I could watch you do this for hours.
You have become one of my favourite channels to watch, whatever you are doing.
Keep up the great work.
David in the U.K.
Just a little learning secret to treasure hunting in junk cars. From working in the junk business in my past. Rip down the glove boxes. I've found big cash in my past. They sometimes get over filled and end up inside the dashes. Was nice going home with a nice lil bouns after a hard day's work.
Im a junker at heart , I love love love get on the excavator and crushing a bunch of yuppie cars, that’s a none. American made in name cars, 1975 and older, lolll, nice 👍 thanks BigAl California praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏.
Best stuff was the road reflectors and the Fire extinguisher! I also seen a JVC stereo in one of those cars. Love watching Keep up the good work Silas.
@13:43 I got that very same fire extinguisher 🧯 it's a old General that's made in Virginia, those are very good reliable & refillable fire extinguishers, some are collectable too ! That's probably from the 70's thru the 80's ,my fire extinguisher maintenance company guy wanted one of mine & he traded it for a massive 20 pound ABC dry chemical truck fire extinguisher....PS I like those old school metal reflective mirror flares ,got old NYC police ones from decades ago
Hey Silas, I would like to see the tri 5 video with the road graders..... definitely like your channel, when I was a kid, we grew up in Michigan gravel country, my adventures as a kid was seeking out the gravel pit junk piles(after hours of course)....be safe, God Bless!!!!
You put together a great informative show. Thank you
That orange 1960's TV is my kind of treasure ;)
Congratulations on 25k your growing and getting better look forward to the next video
When they inspect dry powder fire extinguishers here, they just check the pressure gauge, then turn it upside down and hit the side hard with a rubber mallet. The powder settles and compacts some in the bottom, and hitting it shakes up the powder so that it will flow easily. I have found a nice set of jumper cables, tools, and a commercial pet hair dryer that works good. This type of dryer sells for $200, but the cashier charged me $5 or so and rang it up as a heater blower. Congratulations on the 25K.
Lol, your content is addictive…. Brings back memories and the urban Indianajones
You need to save all the owner manuals to resell good luck love your videos'
I’ll tell you why I watch your channel is that you are a nice bloke and you make great videos
Maybe you could come up with a clear plastic 5 gallon water cooler jug and challenge yourself to fill it up with free change. Would be a great draw to the channel and a great Christmas down the road for the kids.
Junk yard Treasures hunts are a blast i haven't done one in a long time I use to do them when I went to get parts
Congratulations on 25K
Cool sci-fi glasses make you from the planet “Silas”.
Congrats on 25k. I'm sure that's going to keep going up. Thanks for the video 👍
I am so glad I found your channel Silas. It’s all because I happened across a channel about tons of old cars sandwiched next to each other on concrete and I watched it. Then your channel was recommended to me through that. It was right around when you were doing the big 3 part cleanup. I was hooked and went back and watched all from the beginning. Haven’t missed one! Just something about Silas and his life and adventures that I love!! Congratulations on 25k+! 🎉🍾🎊♥️
Hi there
All good stuff and happy day be safe god bless
Awesome video as usual! Thanks for sharing your days with us!
Awsome vids Silas keep up the awsome work NO MATTER WHAT YOU POST WE LOVE AND WILL WATCH EVERYTHING
Love how you just threw the ring box down!
Can't explain why i enjoy the RUclipsrs i follow,, other than i enjoy them. As i enjoy yours. You enjoy what you do & that is contagious. You are positive & follow your dream & i respect that. All that change & money you find would be cool to put it all into a jar & save till Thanksgiving next year. Bet you could feed your whole family & still have money left over. Or donate to a cause you are fond of. Just a thought, do what you want for it;s all yours now. ty for taking us along & i appreciate your ty to us subscribers.
Silas, love your videos. Be careful with those little USB car adapters (there are many more cheap ones that melt than good ones!). You recently passed up on a USB "battery bank". That would've been easily cleaned up and they can be expensive! Also, very helpful as you just charge it at night and then carry your extra power around with you (no car/car battery required)
I have never seen those reflector flares, they are really neat. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video, keep up good job. Thank you for carrying us on another scavenger hunt. Have a great week end a. we are patiently waiting for the next adventure.
Congrats Silas. I like all of your videos. I could watch you go through cars all day long. Your clean up's are fun to watch as well. 26.9K Sub's currently. Keep up the great work my friend.
My favorite! Junk yard treasures!!
Congrats that old TV would be cool in junk yard cabin u go silas 😅😅😅
Congratulations🎉 I have to say going thru those junk cars for treasures is my favorite part of your video too!
That TV would make a great prop for a local theater group!
Congratulations. I've been here for awhile and you are one of only 6 I am sub with notifications on. Good job
Bahahaha back in Christmas in 2017 when in Virginia I decided to clean out my car looking for change with my friend.....ended up finding over $110 just in quarters & around $40 in mixed pennies ,dimes ,nickels & a few $1 and 50 cent coins ,used that money to cook up a Christmas eve dinner for my friends parents
You're a super nice guy , that helps ,
You should look under the liners in the consoles the little rubber inserts I found folding money in under those
You’re stylin’ alright! 😂
Silas, a close friend was man old m Buick collector. He once bought a 32 Buick sedan that was owned one time by a bootlegger in Portland,Ore. and he pulled out the back seat and found ten thousand dollars.
You should start a jar and put all the money you find in the jar and at the end of the year or something see how much you collected or my dad use to put it in a piggy bank for us kids but that was when you could buy stuff with a penny
Love watching you do treasurer hunts.
I like watching you search the scrap vehicles, and sometimes you find some good stuff. Here in the southeast you would have to be very careful of venomous Snakes in and around vehicles. The reptiles know rats and mice live in junkyards so that is a good place for them to find food.
Ignition key design has changed from when we were kids.
Plain stamped GM etc.
A relative of mine had 1969 Mercedes. It had the first exotic key, at least to me.
It was a flexible handle (black bit).. and bigger.
Collect the keys and display all the designs you find..video suggestion.
Love watching all your Videos.Congrats on hitting 25000 God bless you and your family and God bless America!
It's the content, your politeness, NEVER ANY BAD TALKING, GOOD WHOLESOME FUN ADVENTURES!!! THANK YOU!!
A junkyard is my Disneyland
Silas, I took a look at your Analytics, You are doing fine $$$$$
Congratulations on your 25,000+ viewers. I always look forward to your videos, I like car and love going to junk yard and going through cars, my best find was a vintage Seiko watch, one car had $40+ in change in it. Keep these awesome videos coming😎👍🏻
Oh yes, some of those car owners books are in demand especially if their older👍🏻
Silas congratulations on hitting 25 thousand subs man.Your content is educational and cool and very useful.👍✌️☮️ God Bless
