You are a National Treasure. I hang on every shot and love how you take us along. I learn something every time I view. Love Officer Jon and friends, too.
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.
Hi Mark my father is a BIG fan of yours and watches your adventures daily. We live in Houlton and relatively close to where you just made this video. He was so hoping to run into you while you were here an meet you. #Hoboshoestringfans 🚞
thats it,its a Hobo's life for me!! Shoestring u have to made,never a dull moment for u! Friends who welcome and love u everywhere,travel far and wide,and now this beautiful fireworks display,in glad ur happy and traveling, enjoy,as always Godspeed
GREAT fireworks show and thanks for sharing, Shoestring! Yah, I was thinking of the spiders on that floor where you slept. Glad you had none in your area. And that lake reminded me of the video of that other lake where you tried to take a bath and almost drowned! Take care and be safe out there! 😎
Very nice caught a ride one fourth years ago in mountains and seen fireworks in four town from where we were there is those who stay put and those who see the world it's the person that decides good or bad so all y'all with money it's not what we want love ya brother
Thank you Shoestring for sharing your jurnney and travels of your life The fireworks set the night sky on fire . Made me cry and proud to be an American . Stay safe Mark . look forward to seeing your next one .
Holy Jupiter that was some prolific amount of fireworks! To see that from the water on a pontoon boat..Priceless! Nice. Hey, too bad I'm not in Montreal again until a few weeks from now. I could have tried to meet ya just south of the border for lunch. In due time I guess. Happy Sunday Shoestring..
Hello Rail King This is The Philosopher..got a little channel. I had one called Neco. I go by Neco I've hitchhiked every corner of this country, hopped a few trains. I'm a dedicated fan I really enjoy your videos Thank you for taking us along pal.
Glad its going well shoes, watchout for those pesky snakes tho, could make innertubes out of them for my bike ! ( Shoe tubes ) 😁 best wishes to you shoe, ...... Shoewop shedooby dooby doo 🙂👍🇬🇧
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.
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
I watch your videos alot and always wondered if you came up to Maine. Well welcome to God's country. I live in Washington County, Maine. Safe travels and I'll keep watching.
Hey shoestring I'm setting here watch were u were in Harlan KY at loyal yard I lived in white house on hill on video thanks for showing Harlan love yr video

Im so excited for you to see you having fun ole'son, if you you make to Beaumont tx, I'll take you out on the boat, we'll try to catch some big red bull and speckled trout. Love ya brother
Hey Shoestring! Not sure if you have headed back south or not, but I live near Waterville... if you happen to need anything while in the area, give me a shout! Love your videos, and glad to see you in my neck of the woods! Safe riding!
Lowell folk fest just ended, hoping it would be longer/wish to see you there but would’ve been a lot hauling your pack in large crowd annoyance’s, best wish on the ride back, shoe!
Godspeed Mr. Nichols, We would like to Thank You for all you gave, and all you have given.. R.I.P. Shoestring, You are greatly missed.. ✌
I miss you buddy you’ve not left my mind since we discovered you missing. I hope you’re up there riding til your hearts content.
My mind just cannot wrap around him being gone. It just doesn't seem possible. What was it about Mark that was so powerful to all of us...??
Mark,I marvel at how enriched your life is and the joy you have.Thank you for taking us along.Always look forward to new adventures.😁
You are a National Treasure. I hang on every shot and love how you take us along. I learn something every time I view. Love Officer Jon and friends, too.
The world needs more cops like John.
Absolutely John just got himself a new sub!
especially in NYC,more cops like him might to e things down,a lot🕊️👍
People need a moral compass and should follow the 10 commandments. This way less police officers would be needed.
speaking of Jon did anyone got a link to his youtube chan?
If a Cop puts their hands down a childs pants , they other turns a blind eye there`s no good cops

The fireworks remind me of the end of starwars episode 4, the first one from 1976. When they all got medallions
Shoestring is the genuine article, a real rail road Hobo. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. .

What a glorious fireworks show!
Great vid as usual. Have u considered letting people know ahead of time what town and when you you'll be coming through?? Bet u could get a lot of invites to stay in there house!! Cheers
Don't worry about spiders and snakes. God protects Hobos and Little Children and that's for real

He is already headed south. He was in NY today.
Lowell folk fest just ended, hoping it would be longer/wish to see you there but would’ve been a lot hauling your pack in large crowd annoyance’s, best wish on the ride back, shoe!
Great Fireworks !! HooAH !!
