    I hope for posterity, Hobo Shoestring's videos are catalogued and preserved. This man who admitted to some weights in life many of us have in some way, was actually a genius and a rare breed in our modern age. We are losing so many of our freedoms in the U.S. and globally where everything is hyped, spun or controlled by government politicians or our corporate masters in a new form of slavery that discriminates against no one
    but the politicians and their campaign funding bribers. Yes, there actually was a Hobo Shoestring in our day
    and time. It will be harder and harder to be another Shoestring Hobo in the future. His family and his many friends may be extremely proud of him. He was a teacher to hundreds of thousands of people and his videos will be
    up there for many more to experience. No TV producer in Hollywood or the TV network shysters could have come
    up with anything more honest than Hobo Shoestring.

    Mark, my brother got bite by the brown recluse spider. The doctor almost had to remeove his arm. Yet, it got cut up good from the bite it destroys the tissue on the inside of the arm. I saw one heading up towards Canada. Did not want one to get into any trouble! If I would pick up a drink today, just one it would sent me right back to where I left off at only way worse off. A spiritual death is worse than anything that I would want to have. I was so empty inside of me. It only take me picking up that one drink to get all that hell right back. I see one had the m and m's repackaged. I have the vaccum packageing and sealing machine. I tend to want to do everything fast and with this machine it is slow on the sealing of the bags. Both ends have to seal or the bag wont hold the vaccum and spoilage can occure. Then I treated me to the mileyar bags. These are the good resealable one's too. Expensive yet they keep the food good. They have the oxygen sensors in them too. I just made up 10 one pound bags of the Dakota Trails beeg jerkey on ebay. It comes in 10 pound bags and has to be put into smaller ammounts or it will mold up. This jerkey can be soaked in water and be soft enough to eat with no teeth. I have five with a space on the bottom. I just made up a big instant pot of pinto beans, and cook these first for two hours. Then I put in the rice and dried veggies soup mix. Then I will add two big cans of the Chunkey Chillie. This makes up a lot of eating for me. I have to eat every three hours or so. The mylar bags can be sealled up with the same sealer as the vaccum sealer I used for the other bags. Yet, the air has to be sucked out with a straw on the myler bags. They are thicker. In the boy scouts they want us to process and repackage out foods to fit into our packs better. That same beans and rice and veggies can be put into stuffed peppers too. The candy and drinking both have my liver fattey. And a fattey liver is responsible for belley fat, and side fat, and back fat and face and neck fat. High blood pressure, low blood sugar, and low bone density, and other things are just symptoms of this fatty liver. I have toe fungus and it is still with me. I have vercose veines blood vessels that will break near the heels and I have had the gout too. The docotor doesn't want me to eat corn or a lof of carbs. And he wants me to eat beets. I drink the beet juice too. Am using apple cider vinegar two teaspoons full and some real lemon with water and ginger root tea. Hot water and two spoonfuls of ginger and mix that up then strain this juice and use it. A lot of coffee and some of the ginger tea to help me out. I have to cut out sugar, salt, and bad fats for a heart healthy me. The newer go pros are comming up in so I can some add some more stuff to the back packs. I wanted to mention too that I too like to think about others and how I can be helpful to them. The one guy one can help if he wants to do; yet, I am not to be doing for another person what they are to be doing for themselves. He put himself out there on the streets some kind of a way. We are not to enable them in any way. It could be metal health issures too and their bodys are sick too and they need some exercise too. My thinking put me on the streets of Tuscon Airzonia in 1980. Every time we laid down to sleep somewhere the police would come and find us and make us move. One guy got the burgers and stuff out of the mcdonald dumpster and handed them out to us. The social workers wanted to give me a big dog ticket out of town to get rid of us. I just had them work with someone else instead of me. I took responsibility for putting me onto the streets. For me picking up again. I walked accross town each day for nooners group of aa. Have to stand in line for hours to get one big burretto to eat then go to the meeting. Yet, I did what I had to do for recovery. The mission would let us in one time in 30 days just so they could preach Jesus to us for a while then we could eat. I got to get a shower and eat and sleep then had to wait to get back in again in so many days. I was sleeping on a tall cement wall and would fall 30 feet to some concrete if I did not watch out. The police were under me on four wheels going into the sewer tunnel looking for people to chase out of there. This guy with a long beard with a bell on it came by and they invited me into the boxcar to sleep at night if I knocked onto the boxed car and let them know that I was comming in. It was dirty and dusty inside that boxcar too. Yet, I got to sleep. Have fun and take care. I have to care for me today and I do this . Greatful for just being alive today. Paul in Ohio

    Brother, another great video. I remember John from the picture you took together in the yard. You also had a picture of his police vehicle. It is really nice that you have made friends with him and you can ride 1200 miles and have a safe location to get some rest. That food looked absolutely delicious. I would have had to taken a nap after that feast.
    The festival you went to you said was for veterans only. Is this something that is a private affair or was it any veteran can attend? I would like to know because as a veteran, I am always trying to connect with other veteran's.
    The fireworks were great, they definitely spent a bunch of money on them. Is that the first time you have ever watched fireworks from a boat? The music that they played was very patriotic and reminded me of many of my days in the military. Of course anytime you play the Star Spangled Banner with fireworks, is truly special.
    great video brother, stay safe.

    Shroom says: I've woke up in simular situations. The condition of your mind and body ain't exactly refreshed. Only a few good cups of coffee and some grub could improve anything. I wish I could push you a cup of joe through the screen and place it in your hands. Back when I drank that's how I would end up wasted an hour or two, on those kind of mornings. It's easy to carry a pint of everclear
    I'd mix it 50/50 with water or juice or anything handy. I hope you get your batteries recharged. I take water pills too. Ain't a good idea to not have em. My legs swell when I don't take them kind of like yours. No lecture. I have gone days without taking my medication just because I didn't feel like it. I almost burned my kitchen table up. I left my cellphone on top of a folded washcloth on my kitchen table screen down. The heat convected hot enough to smoulder, because the screen wasn't turned off when I set it down. I woke up to a smokey, smoke alarm blarin,' apartment and a slow smoking washcloth. I was amazed. Be shure to turn you phone off and don't put it up side down is all I can say.🤔😉

    I guess when riding the rails you sleep where ever you can find shelter. Places like that usually have someone else homeless using them for sleeping. All I would be doing is worry about what or who is going to walk or crawl through the open door way.
    When it comes to grilling, smoking, roasting, I think men do it best. I know you enjoyed that meal. In this heat, the water must feel really good.

    I could only imagine you doing some collaborations with Basecamp Chris and the stories you two could swap. You two together would be HUGE on UA-cam!
