The bullshit P•fizer bo•oster shots are p•fucking ppl up ....Ole shoestring is 2 or 3 doses in during this video. I hope ppl wake up and STOP falling for the fear they are peddling. Better chance of dying of the shot than covid666
Shoestring, I'm 64 and my body definitely can't keep pace with my mind anymore! Be at peace wherever you are now! It's all good considering. My friend, it's your story telling that keeps me coming to your channel. You can do that from the rails, or from home. Rest up and keep yourself well. God bless you sir.
I'm so sorry your not feeling well. If it hadn't been for you I would not have seen as much of the USA as I did when I rode with you. Thanks so much for the ride. Looking forward to more rides. Hugs Esther from Indiana
Hoping so much that you get your health back in check. I know for a fact when your health goes you don't feel like going. I miss your videos so much. Get well it's the most important thing
Shroom says: I don't think anyone would smart off to you about going to the doctor Channel. I think they were joking. I'm shut in can't hardly get out anymore I've tried humor and teasing with my comments 🙃 I appreciate when you send a heart, thumbs up or a smile face. I hope you can always smile to my comments.
Thanks Mark, you're a natural story teller and interesting to listen to you in a train or not. Good luck with the Dr. tomorrow and keep resting till you're well -
Man just take care of you, and not worry about others comments, I just enjoy hearing your stories, and the riding is a plus. Take care get feeling better soon.
I've watched nearly every video on your channel Shoestring. You've brought me and countless thousands of others such joy. All I can say is thankyou, and stay safe.
Good to hear from you Shoestring. I love the boxcar. It's perfect for you. I like this video. Anything you post is all good with me. Hope you find the answers to your health situation. I know you're probably going stir crazy not being able to catch out. Take it easy and get your health in check first. You are in my prayers. Every night I ask that He heals you and returns you to good health.🙏 Take care and God bless always.Much love and respect
I miss this gentleman. I wonder if he knew how much we missed him and the number of people who would miss him if he'd taken a few more moments to think about it, before he made that near last decision. We miss you Shoestring.
Living the Dream, Shoestring. You’ve earned your stripes and we all love the videos. Keep that urge for new adventure and get healthy. There’s a bunch of us rooting for you, brother.
@@TheHoboShoestring The woods are lovely, Dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep. That little hobo looked like he had a purpose! Thanks for the videos, the best onYT.
Iron meteorites are quite valuable, worth as much as $1,000 per gram. So 1 pound would be 1 million dollars. If it hits you/your house/mailbox and it's documented its price quintuples.
On of the last of the real true hobos. Keep going Mark, keep up the content whatever and remember Britt in August, you've got to get well for that! All the best for the future. 👍👍👍🇬🇧
Take care Shoestring, hopefully you get to feeling better soon brother!! Love the stories you talk about! Stay safe and take it easy and do only what your body allows!
We all been worried about you. I figured you weren't feeling to good since you had them tests. I hope you can get out a bit each day & walk a bit. That always seems to help some. I'm hoping & praying that you can get some good news from the doctor. They can do wonders today. I just had 5 stents & it helped me bigtime. Listen to the doctors we all want you up & running the rails again very soon.
Love the boxcar and hobo. Such attention to detail! I agree with Crusty Train Guy: Your hobo needs a bucket. Take care of yourself, Mark. We're all rooting for you.
"Nothing is to important than right now" Good advice my friend. I have learned that living for the moment and taking stock of where you are now works well for me in my older age. I like hearing about your life's journey on the rails! Keep on, keepin on!
Great video - as for changing the name of your channel I think The Legend - Hobo Shoestring would work. Sometimes legends go to the doctor too. (In case of any confusion - it's a compliment) Take good care of yourself.
Loved the different twist on the video, it’s good to see you, you look good, better than I was expecting considering how you’ve been feeling! You’ll be back out there, glad you’re being patient. You just came off quite a whirlwind, Alaska was a big trip, and then a basically unexpected move! No real time to recoup in all of that, so here you are with a little extra recouping to have to do to make up for it. That won’t happen again… no more unexpected need to pack up everything and then unpack it! At least it was for a wonderful reason, it was a great move!!! Made me tired just watching the videos about it though… it’s so much work. So now maybe the time is right to just lay low and spend a little energy enjoying the new base camp. You’ll be back out soon!
Mark. I love the stories. Like sitting around a campfire. You have amazing memory. The places and people you have met along the way going back three decades is amazing. I love it. We love it. It's good food for thought. Everything that's happened in your life has been for good reasons. Good or bad. We learn and become stronger. Your a man with good intentions and you share that in every one your videos. It's a big world out there with rails going all over America. Thank you for sharing your travels we all love to see and sharing the real you. Take care Mark. Canada.
That hobo shaped rail road spike is the nicest piece of artwork I have ever seen. The guy who sent it in must be a very nice guy, not to mention talented. With a great attention to detail.
Content Suggestion. Show how you pack and set up your gear. My USMC D.I. drilled into us 'The 7 P's: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance'. I'm sure you pack just a little different based on trip/time of year, but give us some general tips. Taping water bottles is a good example. Thanks
Wishing you good luck and great health with your lab results! I don’t care if you’re riding trains, talking about fission, or just telling stories of your experiences. Love watching your videos. Get well my friend.
You do what you need to do to stay healthy Shoestring. There are many folks out here that think the world of ya and we are sticking with you my friend.
Like many others, I enjoy hearing about your adventures. I think that kind of lifestyle is appealing to a lot of us and we have to live vicariously through you. I wish I had done some more stuff in my younger years. And I completely understand the appeal for being outdoors. I get out as often as I possibly can!
Great video - I always enjoy learning about your past experiences, The Q & A was great! That's a nice box car you got there! Garden Craft was a real business since 1947, but it looks like they've closed recently. This state isn't exactly business friendly, so I'm not surprised - I've watched several mom n pop businesses like that close around me over the years. I've never heard of Assinippi, MA, but it's a section of Norwell (02061). Well whaddya know about that? :D Been here 48 years and never new that! It's southeast of Boston between Marshfield and Quincy. I'm a central MA guy, so I wouldn't have known that. Interesting! Great stuff Mark - hope you feel better soon.
sorry to hear your not well shoestring.... the mind can heal keep a positive attitude man....I just had major surgery recovery is all in the mental attitued to life....
That boxcar is very nice, sliding doors and all. Garden Craft does exist, arts and crafts store. Can't believe it didn't go for more. We're all just kids playing with our toys. Thanks for the video, String. P.S. Be sure to spike that door so you don't get trapped.
Great update, Great Q&A & a very cool boxcar that needs your tag.. While you're on downtime how about tagging some tee shirts for some ebay $ or setting up a swag store. Lotta RR Modelers would be down for decals I'm sure. I watch a lot of train vids and always look for the tag.. I'll post it up if I find one. Be well Mark! Fresh air, sunshine and some walking time to keep ya in shape for the next catch. Jon in Maine
Thanks for the update you're doing fine with your channel and you always going to be the hobo. God bless and ignore the assholes they pop up here and there all amongst us and you just have to consider the source.
Thanks for the update brother, Take care of yourself and you'll be back on the tracks in no time! Looking forward to an update on the seeds you planted! Cheers 👍
Hello Shoestring , this is the first time I have left a message with you ....I think . I have a question for you . What is your favorite meals and do you go to any favorite resturaunts ? And just to let you know I really enjoy your videos and hope you start feeling better man !! Prayers to you and yours .
God I'm going to miss this guy. His advise to everyone... "just be happy."
Shoestrings Apartment is a Railroad Museum. R.I.P. our Hobo friend
Shoestring, I and a LOT of fans have been worried about you. Wish you well Sir!
Why you worried? Looks like hes living life
@@johnnyonetake9249 He looks pale.
The bullshit P•fizer bo•oster shots are p•fucking ppl up ....Ole shoestring is 2 or 3 doses in during this video. I hope ppl wake up and STOP falling for the fear they are peddling. Better chance of dying of the shot than covid666

My friend, it's your story telling that keeps me coming to your channel. You can do that from the rails, or from home. Rest up and keep yourself well. God bless you sir.
The miniature hobo is nice and all but you need to get him a bucket to carry around during his travels. Makes the model more prototypical lol!
Yes, maybe a bit of track and a loco?.
Don't listen to the trolls. They got no life. Keep your channel as it is and rest until you think you can ride again.
I'm so sorry your not feeling well. If it hadn't been for you I would not have seen as much of the USA as I did when I rode with you. Thanks so much for the ride. Looking forward to more rides. Hugs Esther from Indiana
Fans care about your health as much as the content. Keep us updated and hope you feel better soon.
Shoestring your health comes before anything else so just worry about getting healthy and you can get back on the 🚂 R/R🙏
Shoestring your health is what’s important! Take time to heal now and there will be plenty of time for riding videos. Hope you feel better soon!!
Hoping so much that you get your health back in check. I know for a fact when your health goes you don't feel like going. I miss your videos so much. Get well it's the most important thing
Love it when this guy lays down for story time. Seen

Thanks for the answer, Mr. Mark!

Thanks Shoestring!! Great answer! They do sell single pieces of track for the boxcar. Great Q&A video. Hope your feeling better!! B Safe........

Love, and prayers for healing and peace, my friend!! Whenever you do travel, I am right there beside you riding along.
I think the mini HOBO needs a bucket with Stickers on it and a video camera! 😁😁😁
It's amazing His videos in the last few years were pretty much solo rides, even His Alaska boat ride was private👏
Love this video! Thanks for answering our questions! ♥️
The video format was awesome! Especially liked the meteorite story. What a neat thing to find.
Take care Shoestring, hopefully you get to feeling better soon brother!! Love the stories you talk about! Stay safe and take it easy and do only what your body allows!

That is a nice cedar chest you have there, best to you. In the end one has to deal with the cards he's dealt so hang in there and it'll work out.
Add a magnificent beard to Lil’ Shoestring!
Love seeing you cozy at home
