The Right Tools for the Job



I know many of us don't give dumpster divers a second look, let alone credit for being properly equipped for their forays. Whilst on a walk I came upon this diver's mobile tool center and was quite impressed to find:

~ Gardening shears
~ Bolt cutter
~ Electrical & duct tape
~ Extra plastic bags for holding bottles, plastic bottles and paper.
~ Bungee cords
~ A grabber like device for extending his reach.
~ A mini shovel
~ And assorted tools I couldn't identify

This is ingenuity!

While driving and running errands, I happened upon this cyclist who would park every so often to rummage through the garbage. I never saw him retrieve anything him but was most impressed with his set up and the ease in which he could cart it back home.
