    *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

    I think that Stanley “thermos” is actually a “hot water bed warmer”. I have an old Palco one and thought it was a Thermos as well but I believe it was Sarge that educated me and pointed it out they are actually bed warmers. That’s not to say they could not be used as a canteen … and probably a few Boy Scouts did back in the day.

    My grandfather was never a hobo, that I know of at least, but he carried a GI musette everyday. His contents were a lot like yours, the biggest difference being you're not carrying a notebook, and his canteen was a metal GI with the cup. He also carried crackers, tea, coffee, and a small stove for wood chips in his car. These days, my neck is too dinged up to manage a bag over my shoulder, so a small pack, and I'll be darned- I'm carrying the same kind of stuff. :P

I've been rolling my bedroll like a horseman but think I'll try the horseshoe for my next trip! Ironically my fishing kit is a 'Hobo Reel' made from an old flashlight tho my kit is kinda styled about 2 centuries earlier than this but made of modern materials. I call it Modern Voyageur, being Canadian. Very similar to your 17c Longhunter series; in fact almost identical except made of modern versions of the materials and no gun; I use a bow instead.

The fun of playing marbles, going to a pond skipping stones, catching frogs, fishing. Just being with friends. Even hunting with friends. I went hunting with my grandpa. 1st. i was able to carry a gun. I took my bb gun. It had the bbs in the barrel. Walking along I heard a rattle, boy did my mind go wild. Of course a snake. I tried to take a step a rattle. Not wanting to call grandpa. I then picked my gun up and heard the rattle. Thank God. Those were the best days. Later I realized grandpa didn't get any hunting done till years later. He took me to learn. When we were hunting I almost shot his rabbit dog. That's another story.

    Good Evening James, You got me thinking again back to the year I was unemployed and the years of exploring the Highlands. If the weather took a turn for the worse but you could hear a train in the distance you would pick up the pace and walk towards it. When you hit the track you knew that a Railway man's hut was within 2 miles in any direction of track. Built by previous generations of trackmen and usually made of railway sleepers, they would also have either an open fire or a stove of some kind. Coal was gathered from trackside or wood gathered from the nearest forest. A very pleasant and "toasty" night was to be had. They knew I or others had been there because it was good manners to leave spare tinned food and replenish the coal and firewood. One winters night I had to go out for my toilet, the blizzard had died down, I heard small noises. There I was standing in the middle of a huge herd of Red Deer bedding down for the night. Best Wishes. You produce interesting and engaging videos. Jock McIntyre.

    Good video. Your canteen is actually a hot water bottle (although I'd wager you're not the first to call it a canteen or to use it as such). Both Palco and Stanley sold hot water bottles and made canteens for the military (and later for the camping gear market as it expanded after WW1). Its interesting to note that the screw caps for both companies are the same as used by the Army for the ever popular 1910 canteen. Originally both used a cork stopper. Both were in the process of making millions of canteens for the military during WW1 and when the war ended about a year before anyone thought it would, they were stuck with the components and material, so the hot water bottles got an upgrade to a screw cap using those components.

    Ammo for the slingshot cheaper than marbles? When I was a kid, I would walk the rails picking up what we called Steelies, little balls of metal we were told were made by the friction of wheels on track. I don't know if that was true, but we would pick up hundreds in a few miles walk. They made great slingshot fodder. Seems natural that a hobo would have seen these too.

    I like that classic gear. I also respect the trials and errors that the first Hobos faced and how they decided on the items that were worth carrying.

    Love this minimalist old style. Just did a 3 day section hike on AT using Bedroll (22x48 ground sheet outer wrap, 2 layers torso size reflectix for ground insulation, inflatable pillow, down top quilt, SOL Escape Bivy, 7x7 polyester tarp, waterproof windbreaker, jacket, gloves), bedroll is diagonal across my back using shoulder strap with molle water bottle pouch/1L water/filter attached to lower end of strap plus a sling bag (food, hygiene, poncho, phone). Weather was cold windy & wet but I did just fine.

    I absolutely love these videos of the hobo series. I work primarily outdoors for extended periods and my gear that I carry is practically identical to that of this video minus a shaving kit & the metal canteen because mine is the green plastic army style. Instead of fishing line I carry nylon braid which can be used to repair clothing, craft items and of course as fishing line.
