hobo

I thought this was a very good video by Professional Hobo Shoestring, who's been traveling for over 20-years across North America. His latest video goes over his travel pack and what gear and brands he recommends:

There's various ideas and misconceptions about the traveling community or those who choose to be homeless and free from Corporate America. With this video I provide my perspective, dismissing the modern ideology that tends to categorize or group people into one.

My First Tattoo that I got when I was black out drunk in Fiji a couple weeks ago. Found some guy on the beach who was a tattoo artist and got it done in a Hotel room with a few other friends I met. Was a fucked up night. Now im trying to decide on my next tattoo.

Just wanted to say hello. I'm a nomad, although, I live in relative comfort wandering the country in an RV with my wife. I love hopping freight trains, something I did as a young man in the 1970's, and something I do now as time and opportunity allow. I just returned from a hi-line hop and will...

My goal mid-late 2018 was to hike the entirety of the A.T. NOBO which I will begin in May. After one day a train hopping video appears in my youtube suggested and now I'm hooked. Stobe the Hobo and others have proved an inspiriation to me and I intend on catching out of Maine or GA sometime late...

Just wanted to drink an extra one for all of us that some how survived this vagabond lifestyle since kids and are some how still alive. Poor one out for all our fallen friends.

Wood boat project on the east coast. It’s beem wicked long since I’ve been here, but been seeing the world and circling the country perpetually. 7 years strong vagabond life! Yohoe yohoe!!

I'm thinking of quitting my soul sucking job this month. I already have a month long trip planned for Korea and Japan kicking off in the next few weeks. I'm considering extending my wanderings indefinitely through more of SE Asia but money will be an issue. (I have money, but I don't want to...

I stumbled across this interesting book called “The Tramp’s Handbook”, that was written in England in 1903 by Harry Roberts. Full of fascinating folklore for living the tramp’s life from back in the day, that’s still very applicable today. Click this link...

Hey guys anyone els use a IKEA hobo stove? Just tested mine out n it works pretty good for a few bucks! Pretty popular setup ive noticed online. If anyone wants to make one i can show more pictures :)

Breeze died last night. According to a Facebook post it was from liver failure. The last time we talked he'd just set up a really nice camp in Palm Bay. I never saw you be rude to a single soul. You were a special kind of person. You were sunshine. You taught me so much and brought so much love...

Scabies! Fuck! Dont Panic! :D During my years of traveling I've caught the scabies multiple times. Before I learned the tricks, it was a big deal. Without insurance, it can be a bitch to get prescriptions filled. Here's the trick : you don't need a prescription! Lots of flee and tick...

As mentioned in another thread on GPS units, I had a curious thought about using GPS units, or even older Letterboxing techniques to hide stashes of kick-downs, trades, and unneeded, or unwanted (BUT STILL USEFUL TO SOMEONE ELSE!) items. Basically, this is a STP version of Geocaching. Private...

I'm riding the rails for about 6 months starting at the end of the week and I've been wondering lately what everyone considers the ultimate "Big Rock Candy Mountain" (meaning your ultimate hobo/vagabond-friendly paradise) in the US or Canada? Where do you like to go to kick back, relax and chill...

Hello, I'm a french film maker, and I'm looking for American hobos, or worker-travelers, to make a documentary. I'm interested about people who are struggling for life, following dangerous or incredible path, doing special jobs on their way, or community who lives out of the grid. We want to...

Hi. Since summer 2016, I've realized that I'm not like most of the people around me. I see other people my age glued to their smartphones, doing nothing with themselves, just following the flow of our culture. And since around may of this year, I've realized that I can't do that. If I tried to...
