Please everyone read
I don't know if you guys realize how much money he's spending to get those items so he can make videos for you to enjoy. the florence stove alone is around $300 on eBay, the Stanley canteen $30 and so on. It adds up quick. You might say he's buying it for him anyways. Yes, but still.. it's for our enjoyment to all as well and he's putting some good efforts into making those videos. And the Hobo little movie was great.

So the least that you can do is to give a thumbs up, and why not subscribing as well if not done already. He deserves that...
P.S. I won't charge you if you pin this. Well.... maybe a bottle of wine some day lol

My father told me about a “Hobo” that he would see a few times a year (late 1950’s). The man always carried a metal lunchbox with his personal items in it. When my father asked why a lunchbox he replied “ Did you ever see a cop stop a man with a lunchbox” 🤔

I know your main focus is on survival but I really do enjoy these historical videos.

It is wonderful and encouraging to me that so many people enjoy this content. Modern isn’t always the answer as our ancestors really employed practical solutions to their needs. History should not be lost but I fear it is.

This haversack is the most equipped pack yet. A hobo would be prepared for just about anything with that assortment of gear. A great model for any outdoor enthusiast.

Anybody who writes post apocalyptic literature can benefit a great deal from these videos. Just an amazing source of information.

I have a couple of tanned deer hides. You have convinced me that a haversack would be a good project.

I like how all your items are actually old!

Those flat carpenter's pencils are really useful, you can shave wood off the sides if you need extra tinder and, if you're careful, you can still have a usable pencil on you when you're done.

Excellent time for Hobo's and all. 🌻🌄👣👀🌲💫✨

As someone from Britt, Iowa. Why don't you come on over for the National Hobo Convention in August? Consider this an invitation. It's not as good as it once was, but you're closer to a Hobo than most people are these days.

The missouri pacific tracks ran behind my grandparents farm. My dad said there was a hobo that would get off the train and come to the house and my grandma would feed him supper and he would shapen scissiors for that supper. He would sleep in the barn and hop the train in the morning. My dad also made sure i knew there was a differnece between a hobo and a bum.

Thanks for sharing James. That sac would make a great bug out bag. Interesting

The amount of time and dedication you put into acquiring the era-specific items is mind-boggling. I really enjoy your Hobo series. Please keep then coming.
