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!

TPASS or PASS (personal alert safety system) are use by fire fighter on their SCBA (air packs). If it's not moved for around for a certain time it will start to alarm. If still not moved by the firefighter it will start to alarm even louder. Thus alerting others of you located and possible distress.

@robertschwartzman195 2 года назад

I hare those alarms as when I was down at 9/11 was an Erie sound you heard coming from the debris field at the site. Yes I was there and that sounds haunts me to this dag. I was a First Responce Team Member and was down there.

@emanonevahisey5841 2 года назад

True but the TPASS4 can also send mayday signals to and receive evacuation signals from a command control system such as "in command" which can also perform a roll call to all tpass4 devices assigned to it.

@beaverc2884 2 года назад

Tpass 4 worn by fire fighters and other emergency responders, it has a whole range of capabilities but mainly is used for motion detection, if the person wearing it doesn't move for a certain amount of time it will give a warning tone if the wearer does not press a button on it the Tpass will send out an emergency single and the wearer can then be found through GPS. For reliability and safety they are inspected every so many hours, the ones you found probably failed inspection or that department upgraded.

@robertschwartzman195 2 года назад

Mike nice woodworking you did in your last video. I say Bravo. As per ammo I most F.D. will take unused ammo a d dump I se of that for you. I could have a battery holder with a led lights and can label it Homeland Security and call it a day. Anything with a label like that on it goes back to a surplus yard to dispose of safely or auctioned off. Mike there can be dozens of scrap collection places and will always be more to collect and cash in on. That blue electrical cord is more valuable then scrap. Thar cable costs more then $250. Have a good weekend to you and your furr babies

He usually cuts off the copper-bearing cord and leaves the rest, but that's out of dumpsters, not at the curb due to not wanting to leave the non-functional result still sitting there.
