As far as I'm concerned, you could keep doing this hobo series as long as you want to. You always seem to have something that helps me understand that era of history a little better. If it were not for the information you have shared here in your videos, I would have thought the word "hobo" means "bum."

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks so much! I am enjoying the series but I don't want to wear people out with repetitive content.

[@melindaroth5796]

I know , this is awesome information. I thought hobo meant bum also

[@melindaroth5796]

@@WayPointSurvival You're not wearing me out. I love it. I cried the last video bc how lonely they had to be. And how brave and strong minded they had to be. I have a great respect for Hobos now. Thank you Brother 😊❤️

[@michaelmichael8406]

I'm with them - this series provides unique crafts and information. Good quality stuff, and your presentations are well done.

My friend, I live along the Platte River in Denver Colorado and my dog and I hike the regular and unseen trails around the river. There are railways along the river and UP & BNSF have a few trainyards along the river, too. I see and interact with "hobos", homeless and rail-riders at times during our walks. I live in my grandmother's old neighborhood and both she and my mother told stories of how my grandmother would feed and give chores to the hobos for money with never a problem of trouble. I appreciate your hobo series very much. Thank you, James, and God's Good Blessing's always be upon you 🙏

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you so very much for watching the videos and for the input and may God bless you as well!

I was jumping freight cars all thru Colorado in '75 and '76 ,was up on the Platte River connection,spent a couple days,waiting for a southern run.Met a man who bought me dinner,just for the "New York" conversation.Good people up that way.

[@anthonychihuahua]

@@ThomasAnthony-m9z An experience to remember, for sure! It would seem that you're doing okay, now, and wishing you all the best 🙏

[@ThomasAnthony-m9z]

@@anthonychihuahua Anthony,It was a wonderful experience I started out hitchhiking cross country-N.Y to L.A.-and in L.A. I had heard of some bad things happening to hitchhikers,so my Dad convinced me to get a freight train back to N.Y.-I went everywhere,saw the USA as no else ever has,some rough stuff,some great stuff.Colorado was great,thanks.

[@Reading_Rainbow_]

This channel really combines my love of outdoors and history. Reminds me of the “Townsends” channel but focused on a different time period

[@lauriemclean1131]

I also enjoy Townsends with the 18th century theme. It started out as 18th century cooking & has expanded to be about all things 18th century.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks so much! That's a really great compliment!

[@davidgraemesmith1980]

​@@WayPointSurvivalkeep on with the modern history that wasn't really taught or talked of in schools, the folks who raised me were preppers or survivalists just from being born a hundred years ago, I learnt bushcraft type stuff as normal life even in a city, please keep spreading knowledge, amen.

[@alexlewis3405]

Dude, don’t stop researching this type of information. This is why I’m here.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks!

[@craigeckhoff99]

Me, 50 years a hobo. Ingenious . A half step up was corn/wheat straw brooms. We had Amish not too awful far from where I grew up. They would made the traditional "round" brooms by using wheat shafts after harvest or stripping corn stalks and tying a small "bundle" around a wooden shaft. I dinged a bit using wild grass " shafts" tied around a stick to sweep out a dirty boxcar just to kill time. For hobos, or anybody in general, knots of various type are worth their weight in gold. An old WW2 sailor told me about learning 64 types of knots while aboard ships.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Very cool! Thanks so much and I'm glad that you liked it! It means a lot coming from someone of your experience.

[@stefanbearsjr.9253]

This is shaping up to be a really cool series...

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks so much!

[@davidhoare4144]

The hobo series has been brilliant, we have learned so much. My family are farmers here in the UK, my elderly aunt tells stories of the travelling farm workers that used to travel around the country following the harvests. She remembers one time a man coming to the front door with frost and ice in his beard asking for a cup of hot water for his morning tea, he'd spent the night under a hedge, he didn't want for food, he was just happy and grateful for some hot water for his tea.

[@WayPointSurvival]

What a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing it!

[@FredFreiberger-pk6wc]

This hobo series takes me back to my childhood we occasionally had hobos show up dad all ways fed them we never had any trouble. I am learning a lot of useful skills

[@WayPointSurvival]

My great grandfather made so many things from old coffee can metal, scrap pieces of wood and rope. From kid’s swings, dustpans (to go with your fiber brush), boxes to store nuts & bolts, and all sorts of things. I’ve really enjoyed your exploration of hobo skills and mindset. Thanks so much!

The stuff my uncle would make after coming out of jail /prison was crazy. U remember the door mats made out of beer lids 😮 got the mud off your boot's. That was alot of beer cap's. My uncle was a good guy but just add alcohol, instant asshole

This was very good informative information thank you. I won't take a strand of this stuff for granted anymore if I see some I will get it and make one of these

[@WayPointSurvival]

[@Flashahol]

It's not about the bushcraft vs Hobo stuff but about the nature skills and projects with the perk of understanding where they came from.

[@WayPointSurvival]

I agree, my friend!

Hi James, I enjoy all the content you put out. The hobo series, the pioneer series (finding a homestead in the Ohio), the old school camping, the more modern bushcraft... You just keep doing what you enjoy, and we'll keep watching. Kind regards Alain

Excellent little project for us adults and for children. Great skill to learn.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Indeed, my friend!

[@CalmBeforeTheStorm76]

The hobo series is a great series to fall asleep to! That's actually a compliment, James. It means that you're capturing history, and have learned story telling of a particular way, that's calming to people. Many Americans need this kind of content right now... With a lack of sources we can trust, I think people are looking for content that is simple, down to earth, and a bit of an escape from the times we live in... Also, a little preparation for the hard times that are likely in store for us, collectively, is a good thing for all. Thank you for the trustworthy content, James!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you so very much for all the kind words! I really appreciate it and thanks so much for watching the videos!

Both are much appreciated. THANKS!

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

This series on the historical aspects of the hobo life continues to provide great insight into the ingenuity of the people who did the best that they could with what they had. Times were hard during the height of the hobo period. These men were able to adapt and make do. James goes to great lengths to not only share his knowledge, but to also demonstrate how the innovations of these hobos made their life better during hard times. I greatly appreciate this series. - Tennessee Smoky

@@WayPointSurvival what do you think those could sell for today ? Compared to what do you think a Hobo of the time would have sold for ?

Probably back in the day a hobo could get a nickel for it maybe. Today, you could probably sell them for five bucks a piece.

Save the trimmings from the end, put it with your fire starting kit maybe your frying pan or pot. These rope strands are good for starting a fire maybe when the wood is damp or you need to start a quick fire and conserve matches. You can use one match and light some of the trimmings to catch the wood faster.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Good point!

[@rebeccasilveous8898]

I want to tell you that I watched you put the fishing. It's not a fishing pole but it is a fishing apparatus out of the Irwin chalk line while I bought one and I took it apart and I put all the line on it. But I have yet to get the sinkers, the hooks and the leaders and the little tube that it goes in. Plus a little fingernail clippers yet but I've got it and it was so awesome. So now I have a fishing apparatus to go fishing with. I just don't have it all complete yet, but I loved it. Thanks for sharing some of your unique things with us. It doesn't get old watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
