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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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..

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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.
