If it were not for the information you have shared here in your videos, I would have thought the word "hobo" means "bum."

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 🙏

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.

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.

In Germany this Hobo culture is completly unknown. But we have something called the Walz. After his three year training a hardworker travels for one year by foot on the search for a several masters to learn from. He wears traditional black clothing and when people see someone who is on the Walz they pay for his beer or meal. It is very uncommon nowadays, but enough people still do it that you see now and then someone in the black clothing of a hardworker on the Walz.

I like all your HOBO series. I've had an interest in Hobos since I read about their Code signs that they marked on things to help each other. I read It in a Childcraft Encyclopedia when I was in between the 5th and 6th grade that summer. I pretended to be a Hobo. In a renewed interest O read online about the Hobo Code signs online and true stories and about Woody Guthrie and such and somewhere I came across your videos and then you started doing the Hobo series. It has a lot of meaning for me because my Grandfather who owned a rather large farm for the time, had several avenues that he and 10 Children and my Grandmother were involved in from farming cotton and grain crops, an orchard, raising Angora Goats and shaving them for Mohair, Molasses Mill, Saw Mill, Hewing cross ties, making illegal corn whiskey, raising and canning garden vegetables, raising mules, hogs, cattle during free range, slaughtering their own hogs and smoking the meat in their smokehouse. However with all these avenues he still hopped trains to go work places. He once fell and broke his leg while trying to hop a train. While laid up with his broken leg he taught himself how to play the violin and would later play and call square dances down on Black River in Southeast Missouri. He also carried a hawkbill knife similar to yours but its handle was biggeraround at the base and had only one blade. My cousin has it n, my Uncle Tom gave me something else and gave her the knife. I really like the two blade hawkbill with the extra grafting blade. That's a full setup in one knife for grafting trees. Thats another thing Grandpa did. I wish I were closer and in better health to where I could take some of your classes. Thanks so much for your videos. I lost my left leg below the knee 3 years ago and I have lots of time on my hands and watching your programs are interesting and comforting because I know your a Christian. Again many thanks.

I like the knowledge you are sharing on this hobo series. I don’t believe anyone else is doing it. And everything you are mentioning does pertain to what is going on right now. How to live off very little. Plus, the materials they used back then, wool for example, is actually a healthy material to wear. As for the brush, if you looked up how to make a broom, that stitch could offer another video. Making the brush you just made more flat, and potentially more useful. Living off very little, this knowledge is going to be very valuable in the near future.

It's such a shame you do not have millions of subscribers (yet) because you deserve so many more viewers and subscribers than you have. I subscribed when you had under 75k subs and it's so awesome to see you approaching 300k. Hopefully the next time I look you are at 3 million subs. Again, thank you for all your videos. I also watch them to help me fall asleep. Not that you are boring or anything but because it calms my soul and helps me drift to sleep. I can rewatch and rewatch and rewatch all your videos. They never get boring!!! Thanks again! I look forward to many more amazing videos!

I agree with many of the comments I’ve seen on the hobo topic. Keep it going!! There are very few covering this topic and is one of the things that recently drew me to this channel. Can’t wait to see what other information you’ll find on the hobo lifestyle to share with us.

interesting content, my parents knew a "hobo" back in the day and when he would make his way back thru my area, they would feed him and put him up for a night or two. always a friendly guy, never took a thing as a matter of fact the last time thru he left his pocket watch for my dad as payment for all he did for him, my parents are gone now but i still have the watch. which still keeps time great. Kind of a side note,, my parents did find his grave and took care of it i don't know where he's buried at just that it's somewhere around the Pittsburgh pa area.
