SHOESTRING! We met out by the tracks near Shreveport LA and you kept me from burning up in a tire fire after Id gotten too drunk to notice how close I was sleeping to it. The next morning you kicked me down an ALICE pak that didnt have a frame. I go by the name River. I got myself a frame for that pak and still use it every time I go out. So cool that youre still around dude. Safe travels bro!

I learned a trick in the Army. Ticks prefer to crawl upwards. If you sew a small band of fabric onto the legs of your trousers, leaving the bottom unsewn, the ticks will crawl up to the band then get stuck in between it and your trousers. For some reason they do not have the sense to crawl back down. Works on sleeves and your mid section too. You can then remove them with ease. Good luck shoestring glad to see you happily chooching along.

I was a tree planter in British Columbia for a long time. Up in the mountains around Arrow Lakes one summer, never saw so many ticks (some reason the girls chose me to do the daily inspection at the shower tent-verrry interesting cuz there’s two female places where ticks go that men don’t have). One afternoon me ‘n’ my buddy Bruce were taking lunch on a big, flat rock outcrop about 150feet in diameter-and we were sitting right in the middle. I thought I felt something hit me-like a little pebble or something. Then it happened again. Finally I saw something hit Bruce’s long, bone-straight hair and fall to the rock below. I picked it up. It was a tick. We were looking at it very up-close cuz neither of us ever heard of a flying or jumping tick. It was flat like a tiny empty hot-water-bottle-empty of blood they feed on. We were just talking about how long they can live between blood meals-about 17 years, I heard someplace. Then, as we were watching it very, very up close we both saw it roll up its flat abdomen -like rolling up a magazine-never saw THAT before, either-and then it just vanished, quick as a wink. We realized it had unrolled itself at super high speed and basically sprang right outta sight. So that’s how an empty tick can jump you from, I imagine, dozens of feet away. Everybody on that crew was bitten by hundreds of ticks each before we got the hell outta there! So watch out for them jumping ticks. Remember: it’s only the ones that haven’t eaten for maybe up to 17 years-although I expect they get pretty weak by then. Good luck!

Love the trains! As a kid living in W. Pa., we'd grab our fishing gear, a truck inner tube and hop a coal car that went up the creek, then jump off after about 5 miles. Then we'd float our way back fishing all the way. Great memories! Surprising thing was the engineer would always slow down for us and knew where we liked to jump off.

I married a train riding tramp in 1978. He had a hard time giving up traveling that way. He mostly rode from Arkansas to California. He never could get me to try it. We were married for 34 years, and they were wonderful years. He died in 2013. I miss him every day and still love him very much. I got to meet quite a few tramps in those years....all very nice people. I love watching your videos, but most videos I watch are 30 minutes or less so cutting yours back some don't hurt my feelings at all. Take care of yourself. 😅😊

There's a great difference between a tramp and a HOBO. You just didn't care to find out. There is a old saying and it goes like this.

when I rode the rails in the 80s we used to make little fires in tin cans with twigs to heat water for coffee. For a larger fire, a steel garbage or oil can could be used with some modifications. We would put a flap in the bottom of the can and one on the rim, open them both and flip upside down. Base becomes a cooktop, rim flap feeds the fire, bottom flap is the chimney. Making sure the fire is hot enough to not produce smoke, we were able to conceal the light by aiming the flaps away from sight lines. A tin can even let us cook in a moving box car with splinters for fuel, enough for coffee anyway.

My husband and I just found you this summer. We are now diehard fans and tell every train lover we know about you. We live near Clinton, TN. We love riding trains and spotting trains. I wanted to let you know that GATORADE makes a power for hydration WITH PROTEIN. It might be good to have with you. We hope to run into you sometime, somewhere on the east coast...our stomping grounds from WV to GA😊

Pepper spray is more likely to deter an attack vs a stun gun. Stun guns don't incapacitate, they just hurt. Whereas pepperspray incapacitates. Gotta check legality of either in the areas you're in, be careful with that.
