I just absolutely love this Hobo series you’re doing. I have learned so much more than my dad ever talked about. He lived the hobo life until he met and married my mom. Then they settled here in Ohio to start and raise a family. I used to sit and hang on his every word. He was so incredibly intelligent and interesting. He was born in 1917 and lived until 2003, one day after my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Mom gave birth to a dozen children. Dad had 2 from a previous marriage and Mom had 1 from a previous marriage. They lived through the Dustbowl. They both taught me so much about survival. I wish they were still around sometimes so that I could learn more. I have so many questions. I should have paid more attention to what they were trying to teach me. Thank you for answering a lot of those questions. Have a wonderful day 😊

50 of 74 years a hobo. Your videos are so spot on. I would love a story line "day in the life of a hobo" video. Like walking down tracks near some boxcars. Then smelling coffee brewing. A hello can I come aboard to another hobo cooking tin can coffee. A sit down with the other hobo offering you a tin can of coffee. You offering some tea bags. The old rule " if you take something from the pot put something in the pot . A little chatting " where you been, is there some work there, and do cops or locals mess with you ? " Then maybe walking towards town seeing a marker, knock on a farmers' door offering chop some wood for a bowl of beans. The owner has you do some fence mending and hoeing also. You get a nice plate of simple but filling food, a night in the barn. Next day the farmer gives you a sandwich and some coins to help you on your way. Then continuing to walk into town while wondering if you can get maybe work for a week so you can send home to the family.

From the 1980's until I retired from the military in 2010 I did something similar--had enough stuff in my pockets to survive 72 hours or more. One cargo pocket contained a small toilet kit. The other cargo pocket had a small survival kit. I made use of both when I got separated from my gear on more than one occasion. There was enough stuff to keep me looking neat and pretty and provide a hot beverage and an energy bar or two--and if I could take the time, go fishing, snare a small mammal, gather wild edible plants, and make a shelter. Thanks for this presentation. Brings back memories. I wasn't a hobo, but I tried passing on similar knowledge to younger soldiers. Mostly, it didn't take.

The cook kit is awesome, and I would actually buy new gear if someone brought that back to the market. Titanium would be lighter, but I'd prefer stainless for heat resistance. Plenty of room in there for a match case and the like, and one of the pans would become a bowl for a chip fire. Same for the pocket candle lantern- I need to find one. Again, the more things change, the more the kit stays the same. I've pointed this out before, adjusting for technology, this is almost one to one with what a lot of your viewers are probably carrying every day. Only thing missing from that outfit is a good stout walking stick.

I've been doing it since 1974. At first as a mobile job and later for pleasure. And the habit still continues. That's why I appreciate and enjoy these excellent historical descriptions and hints. A surprising number of similar solutions have been used, these 'teachings' work anywhere in the world. Thanks.

50 of 74 years a hobo. Really great video. That cook set would be worth it's weight in gold to even modern hobos. There were a few differences in equipment from my "modern" days in the 1960s and 1970s etc as a hobo. Streamline would include wearing two sets of clothes. The "good clothes" under a "freebie" from a mission/salvation army thrift store to help keep clean and add more pockets. A 3/4th length army field jacket rather than a top coat. A "onion" type sack for extra stuff you pick up along your travels. A "penlight". Chalk or grease stick. A pocket memo book and pen for copying information etc. A container of "canned heat" to help heat food. A P-38. Always pliers. A wash cloth. Spare socks and skivies. A "hotel" sized bar of soap. A "Bic" disposable razor which are actually good for up to 10 shaves. A pocket mirror. Cork, fish hook, and 10 ft of fishing line ( tobacco tin ) I grabbed all the shoe strings I could find. Sewing kit in a tobacco tin. 35 mm film canister for matches. Another for instant coffee. Always a can of beans. AND a 2 oz bottle of hot sauce to give taste to those horrible soup line meals.

@@WayPointSurvival I did on numerous occasions. Like when I had to move very fast to catch a train in a "hot" yard ( ones that had heavier security or a mean bull ) "on the fly" when moving out of a yard. You might only have a couple of minutes to scout a ride and grab it. I found a few things about traveling that helped a great deal on keeping it to a minimum. Number one is the size of your back pack as most hobos carry a back pack The bigger your backpack the more you carry. A really small "book bag" type keeps it very light. Like the kind that looks like it would only hold 3 or 4 textbooks. Back packs would keep your hands free to grab a train. Almost most as important was my 3 pile method of K.I.S.S. When my pack started to feel a bit heavy I divided up my gear into 3 piles. The used every day pile. The used once a week pile. The used once a month pile. If I had only used once a month or less I could surely do without and gave it away. The once a week pile I would sort into can get it anywhere vs hard to find items. Easy to get gear I gave it away. The use every day of course I kept. This method would often half my gear load. Also important was carefully removing any pockets on a back pack. I would carefully cut the threads holding them in place. Most "book bags" style back packs have a medium size front pocket and two small side pockets. That much you might pack. The end product was basically a two strap haversack.

In the economic fall of 2008 R/R side spurs were FULL of cargo container shipping cars here in western Washington. Now, they are FULL of oil tanker cars.

These are such excellent presentations. Thank you! Story time. I lived in and around Champaign IL, for about a decade starting in 2000. At that time I had finished my first year at Illinois state university, and decided not to resume another year, but instead to wander around the tracks, taking short rides and drinking too much. I forget what year, sometime between 2002 & 2007, I met Hobo Stobe at the catch spot near Champaign. It was sweltering hot, probably early August. We spent an afternoon drinking, and cooling off in one of the little creeks that runs along near the yard there. He was super friendly and smart; we had a great time. Fast forward to 2015 and I had found his youtube videos. What a cool feeling of nostalgia to see him documenting his lifestyle. I was touched by sadness when I learned of his passing a few years later. Ride in peace, Stobe, we'll meet up at big rock candy mountain someday. Around this same time, say 2016-ish I came across Shoestrings youtube channel, and was hooked. Every Friday for a few weeks I would crack some beers and binge watch. I would have loved to meet Hobo Shoestring. Rest in peace rider Shoestring. Anyway, I came across this channel early this year, and once again those lazy summer days of wandering, and living free came back to my memory. How sweet is youths careless folley. Thanks for making these great videos. Im sure that many others are touched by them in the same way I have been.

I have enjoyed dozens of your survival videos, but man, you have really hit your stride with these hobo videos. As informative as Ken Burns, but so lively and not at all dry. And your collection of gear should be in a museum, but we wouldn't want that because a museum stays in one place, and your gear should keep moving. Cheers!
