Brother I have been a subscriber and a fan of yours for quite awhile and these types of videos you do are my favorites. Not just this but you are so genuine too. Keep them coming.
This channel kicks major a$$. Have you seen The Townsends?
Former 50 of 74 years a hobo. Very good video and so true to life. A travel buddy & I had grabbed a train from El Reno OK not far from Oklahoma City heading north. Was on the old Rock Island in the early 1970s. Tracks were bad and train went under 20 mph the whole way. It stopped in Herrington KS and broke up so we were going to be stuck overnight. We ducked over a fence to keep an eye on the yard but it was getting dark. We quickly found a nice clean jungle there . A large fry pan and a mirror hung on a tree. We grabbed some more rocks to rebuild a small fire circle that had been there. Used some old shredded splinters from a worn out rail road tie. Two cans of beans, a can of water, a few torn up tortillas, and we had supper. Had a candy bar for dessert. Tied a rope between two trees and hung a tarp over. Staked the corners with four tent stakes and sacked out early in our sleeping bags. I woke up for a "pit stop" very early morning and heard cars being banged around. I started a tin can of water to boil for coffee. Had enough instant coffee for a couple cups. Used the bean cans for cups. Kept an eye on the cars they were banging together. We built a couple of cigs from from our Top tobacco package and enjoyed a second cup. Cleaned up the fry pan and hung it back up. I looked again and a long string of cars had pulled almost in front of us. We tore down and packed up quick like. We head a short ways down track, found a fairly clean box car, and hopped in. We saw a couple of engines heading past so we had got on just about the right time. The engines banged into the string with a jolt. The brake man walked past checking connections heading to the caboose. 10 minutes later air shot thru the hoses, a bang pulling the slack, and off we headed to Kansas City. Heading there looking for work.
Thank you for sharing. You wrote it so well, I could almost smell the dew of the early morning and feel the excitement of securing a ride to a hopeful lucky break.
God bless.
My grandpa would tell me stories of the depression when he would run the trains from Breckenridge, TX. To Salinas, CA. To work picking veggies in the fields during the harvest and tend to the livestock afterwards. He told me of Hobo camps with dozens of men living there and how they would share food given to them by the farmers amongst each other. As a 10 to 17 year old kid listening to him.. he could transport me back in time with each story. You two would have some stories to share. I never knew my Japanese grandparents. My mother was a Hiroshima survivor and lost her entire family when they dropped the atomic bomb on the city. Ironically, she was 3 plus miles north of ground zero helping her aunt and uncle pick fruit. So harvesting… saved them both. Thank you for bringing back some very old memories.
I really appreciate the prayers before the meal, even if it’s just a pot of coffee. God truly does bless us.
My grandfather, in the late 20's & early 30's, hoboed so he could send money back home to my grandmother in Roswell, GA. Great video. You have a talent, & I don't mean Bushcraft. You're a great storyteller. I look forward to each & every one of your videos. Thank you for telling the true way most of these hobos lived.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Happy Thanksgiving to you also, Earl. This video has a real Thanksgiving feeling.
@jamespaul2587 Hi my friend
Yes
Happy and safe Thanksgiving
to all. Be sure to reflect on
everything you have to be thankful for. No buckets of
money for me, but things that
are worth as much or more.
@maxpinson5002 a fact and truth my friend
Honestly, I wouldn’t even bother to peel the potatoes. Straight Jacket!
I would an save them for the morning to fry up and have with a coffee.
@@acuraintegra101 great idea, right there
Back in my parent's or grandparent's day, which I think he's portraying, taters
weren't washed like they are
today. Most all vegetables
were harvested and sold as
they came from the field.
Additionally, as a bo, he might
have bartered for those taters
from a farmer's wife by drawing up several buckets of
water, or bringing in an armload of stove wood.
Vegetables weren't usually washed until being prepared
for cooking
i just rinse them good
This has got to be one of if not the best videos you have ever done!
Such men have built this country by their commitment to their families even in hard times.
I do beleive this is some of your finest work to date
Happy Thanksgiving to all that’s watching the video! 😊😊😊😅
This is a good video, thank You .
0nce had a stue with one squrl and two potatoes a onion and two chicken backs. In our platform in the woods. Was a very good stue and a time I will never forget. Was about 14 or 15. Wish all could enjoy it as I did.
Greetings and blessings to all on their paths. From Montreal with love.

Once again thank you for your hard work. You do such a fantastic job on these videos.
Hey that was a nice video of a moment in one's day , good to see all the gear we take for granted when we are at or have a home . thank you
Love that intro
Excellent editing 👍
One of your best videos ever, I love it. Longer form is way better showing all the setup and cooking stuff.
Thanks as always
You should’ve enacted him landing that job. Perhaps even receiving and sending that paycheck.That too was part of the survival
My favorite RUclips channel, especially the Hobo series 👍
Another fine video sir. Since I discovered your channel last year, it’s reawakened my love of camping. I’ve been slowly getting my gear accumulated and hope try camping like this video shows. That is the way my friends and me camped as kids.
I like when you bring history to life in your videos especially frontier series keep up good work your videos.
You are Truly a Man with Many Talents...
Thank You So Much for Sharing them with Us All over the Years. ❤

You are a class act, sir.
Great time. You should play harmonica in front of the fire as my old father used to play.🎉
I LOVE ❤❤❤ all these 1930s Hobo videos. You could even talk about 1930s hobo shoes and I’d be riveted. 👍
I really like your ( hobo) coat and hat ! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Great movie!! Really like the new soundtrack songs! And as always the cool little pieces out of the haversack! Thanks James ! Bob
I have to admit I find your videos very interesting even my grandson likes watching
Another terrific authentic video. It brought to mind 2 questions. 1st, what's the expiration date on that authenticly old looking tin of corn beef? 2ndly, I was sure I could hear your wife calling out, "Jim, quit playing with your antiques and get in the house. Suppers on the table." LOL. 😂
Seriously though, I love these videos!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃mt man here watching 👍👍 another hobo story great thank you

Excellent story telling
Somehow I acquired a little razor like yours. No tin though. I keep it in my jewelry box with my other treasures. 💚
19:44 .. as I listened and watched, I thought of Steinbeck’s ‘Grapes of Wrath’ that I had not so long ago had read. The words impacted my thoughts of the hardest times for our population, that are upon us once again. God Bless and Thank you.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO 💜🙏💜
Thank you for another great video, I always look forward to them.
If you can locate this forest clearing on Google Maps, legend has it this Gentlemen buried $ 50,000.00 in US Funds in a hollow tree.
He is well known as the Father of Geocaching.

Damn that scrape from the shave in the morning couldn't have felt good...
Any day is a good day if you are alive and can thank the Lord you are able to keep going and thank him for protecting us from harm.

Great video. My maternal grandfather traveled a lot looking for work. He heard about a lumber mill hiring two days travel south. He went with his brother in law to get a job. At the end of the first day they split one boiled egg. They had nothing the second days until evening at the mill. He said the bean soup was some of the best he had. Oh and those weren't 20 mile days. Both he and grandma would walk 50 miles in a day to visit family.
James, A Heartfelt Thank You For Being A God Fearing Man, and For Making These Hobo Series Video's! They Are Top of the Line For Learning and Entertaining. God Bless and Be Safe My Friend.
If you don't want to waste any of your potatoes you should keep the peels on them .
How did you get to be so smart. Smart ash

I really enjoy these longer form story-telling videos. Thank you!
This is so good. Thanks for helping keep those memories alive again.
I love these video stories. Great concepts, narration and video creation
Your other hobo camp video was my favorite video of yours, I love that you made another.
Awesome video. It was like watching a real hobo!! I'll watch it many times. Thanks!
Great video James. The quality of your videos has improved very much sense you started. 🙃
You did the video camping i was going to do come spring. Looks great. Thankyou for all your time and effort.
Wow what a lovely video!! Just BEAUTIFUL!! Well done!! ❤ Sure would be nice to go back in time, wouldn't it? Thank-you for this enchanting trip into the past.
Love all these videos. Love all the comments. Not sure if I'm a hobo or a millwright...
This is so cool. Thanks for making and showing us this video.
These are wonderful to watch. I recall pictures of civil war Confederate soldier's carrying their possessions the same way. Thanks for your hard work. Happy Thanksgiving
Wonderful is the first word that came to mind. This was just wonderful
Prepare for a video like this must be half the fun !❤❤
I was hoping you make a video like this one. Like always it was great.
That looks awesome and what they had on Thanksgiving back then .
These videos are great, you've inspired me to do something similar with old west era equipment.
Thank you for another great video Sir !
Coolest one Ive seen yet. Love to learn what they may have done.
:) Safe travels
I am loving this content
Pretty good quality video for a video camera in the 1930’s. 😊
I really like your videos , you really go all out , BRAVO , thinks and have a great blessed day AMEN .
Yup, you make a pretty good hobo!
Have a wool sock-cap but the it got washed in hot water; now it fits a toddler. Tried all manner of remedies but to no avail!
Anyway, like the long format, rather than a bunch of jump cuts that spoil the mood!
always lovely, that background music wrecks it though
Great video! Well done!
the music sounds like he woke up in narnia. 😂 i enjoy these theatrical videos. youre having so much fun. i wanna play too!
Thank you
Time has moved on my good man. Lol..
Where did you find a can (sausage) that still takes a key?
Just a guess- probably corned
beef.
