As the Great Depression devastated America throughout the 1930's, there were thousands of young men across America who couldn't find work so they took the rails to live the hobo life. My grandfather was one of them. Born in 1917 he took to the rails for a brief time at 18 to find adventure. His family was well off but when the Great Depression hit they lost everything. He was from Roanoke Va which is where several rail lines met. The irony was that by the time he was 19 in 1936, he got a job with the railroad. He met my grandmother shortly after and they got married and then had my mom 2 yrs later. When the war started, he joined the merchant marines, became a machinist mate and then enlisted in the USN when his service ended in the merchant marines. He actually manned a gun battery during an aerial attack on his ship. The gunner was killed so he had to pull his body out of the gun emplacement to take his place. Amazing what he and so many others his age experienced in such a brief time period.

@galewinds7696 well fortunately 90% of the people aren't bums. Mark chose his life, and it's doubtful that anyone puts him on a pedestal. But if they did, that's their own personal preference, not yours. The only people I put on a pedestal is my Lord Jesus Christ and my kids. But since I work to pay my own way in life, my bills, my car and everything I am responsible for, I can put anyone on a pedestal as I see fit, not you. So if I wish him a Rest in Peace, so be it. If you don't like that. So be it.

It is a very easy way to travel light. Many soldiers on both sides of the Civil War carried their gear in a blanket roll. The gun blanket/poncho that you saw in this video was first introduced during the Civil War and remained being issued up to the Spanish American War in Cuba.

My dad and his brothers were born in South Dakota from 1910 thru 1915. They hopped freight trains and found work from Missouri up through North Dakota during the planting and harvesting seasons in the 1930's. They also hopped trains to the west coast and picked fruit, vegetables, hops in California, Oregon and Washington. They often used canvas tarps that were treated for waterproofing for ground cover and was also long enough to make a lean-too when raining or even just wrap over them for warmth and to keep dry.

This is so cool! I'm from Mexico, grew up in Oregon. I've always been an outdoorsman. So I have a special talent with ropes and knots, and have worked it for 20 plus years. I also make the horse shoe pack, with the hammocks I make! It's a hammock, with blankets tied top/bottom, with that pinecone grommet trick with a bite of rope. I then roll the fabric into the long roll, and then I tie it into the sling and horse shoe. It works for when I am traveling by bicycle, too.

This was very informative. Back in the '80s when hard times hit, I spent 6 years out on the road, trying to find construction work. Many a night was spent sleeping in the back of the pickup truck. I had a bedroll a lot like yours back then. Mine also included salt, pepper, garlic, and a fire-starting kit. At a minimum, you never want to be out fending for yourself without a fire kit and at least a pinch of salt. Old tough squirrel and groundhog stew are a lot better fare with a pinch of salt.

@@WayPointSurvival I had gotten to know a few HOBOs during my youth in St. Pete Fl. circa ( 1970s ) They would come into the city ( via ) the tracks, about late October, then work odd jobs and out of the labor pools until around April, then head North again. My friends and I learned some neat things from them, some of which I carried into the Marine Corps ( Infantry ) and later in life to this day. Thanks for your reply.

I always wondered what they carried in those rolls when I looked at old civil war pictures. I just thought it was just a blanket, but it makes sense to roll in items they needed back in the day. I can see why old civil war soldiers who became Hobos or Tramps looking for work would do this now. I bought the same Musette bag after watching the videos by Sarge. I keep it in my vehicle with my jetboil and cook kit in case I get stranded somewhere. I have always done this. I remember being caught up in stand still traffic moving away from a hurricane for hours. I opened up the back of my vehicle and heated up chow for my family. I could not believe how many people came up to us asking for water! We even gave out a few MREs to some of them. People amaze me at not being prepared what so ever!😮 I really enjoy all your videos because you present them so well and I learn interesting things!😊

This is great. I have a nice clean piece of canvas I've had stored for many years. It was made for a wardrobe cover but I never used it. It's ~6'x10' and after watching this video I've decided it's going to become my hobo roll. I have the wool blanket for that. I think I should install grommets all the way around the edges of it. This way, I can use it for a bedroll, a shelter, a hammock and many other things. Thank You for sharing! ❤

@@WayPointSurvival I forgot to mention that my Grandfather spent time riding rails as a Hobo in the early 1900's. He traveled to work the logging camps, where he met my Grandmother who was a cook in the logging camps. They got married and both hopped a train to their final destination in the Pacific Northwest. They told me stories in the '70's about their early days riding rails.

I just subscribed to his channel today i didnt know that!, I'm sorry to hear that, prayers for his family, but glad they found what happened to him, so they could finally lay him to rest.

That cook kit is great, what's the bet Dave C has a titanium version for sale in the next year or so? I have been waiting for this horseshoe video for a while, it is a method I would like to try out someday soon. Thank you for making these videos for us all to enjoy and take notes from.

My old boy scout book from the teens has this horseshoe pack technique made with a blanket. I'm guessing civil war soldiers and cowboy bedrolls also often had items packed inside. Really practical video thanks
