Your Favourite YouTube Hobos

[WyldLyfe]

Some of you on here make YouTube videos, like Crazy Hobo Johnny, Koala, Coywolf, Matt Derrick ect.. But also what are some of the other Hobos/Travellers from youtube that you think are good, entertaining, informative ect..

 

[Jimmy Beans]

Where are these Koala YouTube videos you speak of? I guess I'm out of the loop, what the heck?

 

[Etown961]

Hobo Shoestring is good, and of course nothing beats the late Stobe Jim Kanobi

 

[Jimmy Beans]

By no means a complete list but here's a couple missing from the list.
RanOutOnARail
John E. Ringo
I think these guys create really good content.
Oh I found Koala's chan too, was already subbed so nvm that.

Lastly, shameless plug. Here's something not so much directly train related but it's a fantastic channel a buddy of mine does. A low-brow crass approach to plant ecology as muttered by a misanthropic Chicago Italian. Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't. There's definitely some train stuff too. If you spend enough time geeking out on this channel you'll actually find numerous videos of TrainDoc sprinkled throughout, if that's of any interest to ya.

Brian Cray is a fuckin oogle. Fuck that dude. He posts pics of him riding onto google maps. And his videos suck. Don't even care that I'm talkin shit rn, fuck him.

CPBBD - I love that guy

He's a wonderfully delightful human being. If you know my Boxcar Party story, that's "Tony". Fella with the blurred face in da pics.

 

[Jimmy Beans]

If your paths crossed earlier, he could've saved you from your Datura delirium!

Haha, perhaps. I think he's about 12 years younger than me though. I probably wouldn't have taken a 5 year old very seriously regardless.

not really a hobo, but Edd Pratt is pretty cool, took a unicycle tour around the world

The best ones I ever seen are legendary old school - Wizehop, Railroad Ron, Shoestring, and @Matt Derrick (and someday Stobe the Hobo!)

I do support the current ones - John E. Ringo, Owen, and Brian Cray - good stuff.

Then the ones I excused myself from supporting - Jeff Seal, Adventure Katz, Stu the Jew, Metro Man 5150, Brave Dave, Trevor Jacob, the list may go on...

 

[Jimmy Beans]

Good to see you're off that Brave Dave train, dudes a massive chode.

I always forget about Wizehop, what I wouldn't give for a new notification from his channel.

I like TC!!!!

I don't watch YouTube train vids, my internet is slow and I find them incredibly boring for the most part. Thats just me though, more power to all who want to make videos and tell us riders some insights on the road baby!!!!!

You can count me in as bad videos, I need to make them better! lol

Speaking of Shoestring Hobo, he's coming to my hometown to meet me in August next year.

I like TC!!!!

Who's that? Today's Coffee aka Trent Cole? Coffee cup with two rail spikes behind it moniker? Or someone else? I was gonna link Trent's channel but I can't find it idk if he deleted or what. That's the homie though. Great footage and music selection.

Nice, shoestring is an awesome guy. He has a lot of stories to tell, and a lot of tips about train hopping.

Hopefully I'll be meeting Shoestring, he's been to Milwaukee before. We haven't worked out the meeting dates yet, August is a long way off. Hopefully we'll do a video shoot and I'll post here.

 

[Coywolf]

Good to see you're off that Brave Dave train, dudes a massive chode.

True. That.

Ya I have to throw a +1 out there to Stobe. He is pretty much the reason (not the only) I got into riding.

Also, I do love Showstring, Owen, Ringo, and some other obscure documentaries about riding out there on YT.

Some of those docs are so fuck in ng bad though. There is one that this English dude does, where he picks up some seriously oogle kids on a filming adventure to capture Americas 'travel' culture, and proceeds to use the information they give him as though it's the scripture. Cant really blam him I guess, he didnt have anything else to go off of.

 

[Coywolf]

And ya, where the hell did @wizehop go?

 

[Zbart1108]

Hobe Mud...

 

[beersalt]

Hell yeah @Engineer J Lupo !
Crime pays but Botany Doesn't makes me fucking smile, and take a load off.
You know him??

Seriously, that dude's train of thought is the shit. Ramblin' about riding freight trains, while identifying plants in between with the whole "SQUIRREL!" dog mentality, almost.
