Ruffeo Hearts Lil Snotty's Belt Factory Raid

LUCKYS! Ruffeo is a sexy man.

daaaaaang!

that is totally baaadasss!

:D

I love the Star Trek Captain's log thing at the end. Made me smile. :)

by any chance r they selling any of that stuff?

Reading through the posts it seems like there was a lot of confusion, regarding a video we couldn't even get anything out of. It would have been better if they would have been up front and told us where we could find places like this and how to go about getting the ok to go in and get the stuff. That would have been helpful. This video?...well beside a couple of people wanting to make a batman belt from stuff they can't get a hold of, it wasn't helpful.

isnt that stealing

that's really cool to be able to raid old places like that.

the only dumpster I'm allowed to dive is the JoAnne's dumpster and the winter weather has caused some issues with that practice.

HEY just the other day on like the red carpet or something I saw Ruffeo Hearts on TV!!!! i was like whoa!  i didnt know that he was on that! keep up the great work threadbanger!!!!

Man wish I could be so lucky as to get permission to rummage through a belt factory for stuff.

i think i have a crush on ruffeo...

Thank you for recognizing that you can't use all of it yourself and are willing to share

when they post this stuff on craigslist would you post a link to it. please!

Dear Upcyclests,

We will be posting this on Craigs List very soon, I promise.  

I feel like I have to level with everybody, a lot of stuff was covered in pigeon shit, and lots of it fell apart and we had to throw it away.  Sadly we only got two van fulls, But whats left we will be posting on craigslist, some for free

(984 studded bracelets and belts) so you can get all those for 2o bones

Some for very cheap and the cost of shipping.  We dont have endless space to store all this, but we are working on a system to temporarily keep it and make it available.  We really want to give it back to the people, its just taking some planning.  Please be patient and keep the faith.  Threadbanger, rhls and Parachute will work hard to get it to you.  contact us personally through rhls.com and email us through our contacts section, we will work with you on a personal basis.

It's great that they got permission and all, but you should say that up front - I don't think we want the news blaming a series of petty theft arrests on Threadbanger!  And until I read that they did get permission, I was actually pretty pissed off.  Plus, I really don't like RHLS, the obnoxious glasses and candy coating of pretentious and are a little squiggy to me.

I love that they were able to save all those items from the nuisance ground. I would love to see the vinyl strips woven and made into a large bag or funky coat. Please show us what you come up with!

woahh!!! that's lucky, how could all this stuff was left alone? well, then Ruffeo Hearts Lil Snotty's may show us the thing they have done with it ^^

idont really like this ep, yay theyve found cool stuff but when can i do with that info? just feel jealous... :-(

Wow. That's totally like, like, a kid in a candy shop. Except, like, a Threadbanger in a, a, hmmm... Sewing expo XD

Damn I wish I was that lucky to find all that stuff!

WHAT A JACKPOT!!
I think it's awsome you were able to save all that from the landfill.I would love to had been the one to find it. Upcycle for life. :^)

That's amazing!!! The only closed factory where I live is filled with mercury and other pestilent chemicals. XP

OMG HE HIT THE FRICKKEN MOTHER LODE!!!!

awww.. im so jealous!!
that was awesome! great find!
were they really just going to demolish that place?! that would've sucked!

"at an almost nothing fee, just come and pick this shit up people" 1:04 - 1:01

Did I understand that right? The fee is just to come pick it up? ;)

ruffeo should have gone to specksavers

That's awesome, just awesome.
serious jack pot.

RUFFEO HEARTS LIL SNOTTY!  I dream of y'all! I have so many favorite episodes of Threadbanger but I have the permalink from their first appearance favorited on my i.e. I pull it out when there is a frown on my face.  I quote it often.  If some broker gets all made at me for a million dollar bond trade that got 'f'ed up I just simply state, "It was a sweet scene so I had to make a unicorn costume with an orphus to birth a vaccum cleaner and that kind of sparked my sewing. My teacher was like, 'Woah you can really sew a straight line, maybe this is your gift.' " Okay so I don't really because I would lose my job, but I do quote you allllll the time: to my mom, my cats, my ex girlfriend, to the postman and most grocery store employees.  

I love you so much RHLS!!

Comebackcomebackcomeback again and again!

ok... NOT.

That's not "up-cycling".

That's a Section 155.30, Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree. A Cass E felony.

And you've given the DA all the evidence he needs.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMHG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww no fair!! Disclose location!!!

BUT I do agree with tongodiva, I'm 80% jealous and 20% happy. Maybe more ;O)

O.M.F.G You've struck goooooold!
I'm soooo happy, and jealous.
like 20% happy and 80% jealous.
but jealous in the best possible way.

That's so sweet! My friends found a dumpster full of buttons and other strange stuff here in Portland, OR, I now have more buttons than I will probably ever need. Vive la dumpster!

If anyone's in Portland, I recommend checking out SCRAP (www.scrapaction.org). They sell awesome cast-off and reused materials for wicked cheap.

Daaaang! I wish I could get that lucky *le sigh* Well, more with fabric, studs, and thread though, haha.

Now don't get me wrong. I think that recycling is hella cool, and good for you guys in not letting shit like that go to waste and being resourceful with people's forgotten stuff.

One question, though: isn't that technically called theft? 

Not trying to start anything, just curious.

I find dumpsters by walking the alleys of the town I live in, and also by drive-by observation like Snotty. I just peak in to to see what the container holds. If there are treasures--I'm IN. I built all of my furniture with found wood. If halted by a dumpster/guardian/nazi I always say I am TAKING, not adding. Critical to conflict avoidance.

When you are ready to re-sell the raw materials will you please post the info on our dear threadbangers.com website. I would be available for a bag, sold by weight, of any selection of the stuff--ANY SELECTION of the STUFF. 
I could hyperventilate at the sight of such a find. GOOD JOB.

FOR REAL?!

ohhh yeahhhh .... awsome..all the things they found down there...
but who told them about that old place..? thanks god they got there before the demolition . i cant imagine all that thrown away

So awesome! o my gosh!   where the heck did they find all that?  can we share?  :)  

that's jut too cool, please show us some thing they end up making with all that...  especially the bat man belt like stuff

Ruffeo Hearts Lil Snotty's BACK!!! YAY BABY!
