Hi Shoestring ,world famous Hobo ,there is not one bit of ugliness in you brother quite the opposite you bring a ray of happiness and hope into mine and probably a lot of other peoples lives 🇦🇺👍
Agree 1000%!
So very true indeed
💯0 % FACTS HOBO IS THE MAN !!!
I had the same thing happen to my hand this past week. It took two full days to get most of my function back. Great to see you on the rails again.
I get neuropathy from my shoulder. What fixed it for me was doing shoulder exercises with dumbbells. presses and shoulder raises. After about 10 days my troubles went away. I just do them 3 times a week now. You could use your water jugs for weights.
93k views should be sufficient to support the hobo lifestyle. Keep up with the videos. 👍have you ever dined at the y?
God bles you..Kingstring...
You are a special human thank u
Ride safe !!!!
Shoestring,
I hope you know how much value and joy you bring to so very many people.
We all ride the rails vicariously through your travels.
Stay safe brother.
Blessings from Oklahoma
P.S Happy 6th Birthday Luke!!!
Godspeed Mr. Nichols, Thank you for all you gave, and have given.. You will be missed..✌
Beautiful, so good to see you again, now my weekend is complete. Thank you shoestring for another peak into rail life. Stay safe and God bless
Rest in peace Shoestring.
i never ran across him and this is my first shoetring vid just today but i still get a little choked up. not too much but still.
i think its bc i can hear the good hard truth in his voice. and you dont hear it too often
Made my Saturday always looking forward to knowing your doing well and safe I'll always keep you in my prayers
I'm probably subscribed to about 500 channels here on youtube, i get more excited to get a new video notification from Shoestring than i do any of the rest of them
He's better than TV lol
😎 DEFiNiTELY !!! ✨️💪💯...
I have that pack. It is the Marine ILBE (Improved Load Bearing Equipment) Gen 2. Best way to tell between gen 2 and 1 is the tan padding vs the black padding for gen 1. Its designed by Arcteryx and mafuctured by Proper. There is an assault pack that goes with it and clips on the back. There is a corpsman version as well which is even bigger and even a predecessor that is huge and are pictured to be on donkeys when the "horse soldiers" went into Afghanistan. The ILBE didn't last long though, as the design was before the next round of body armor and the pack didn't ride well with the plate carriers and were soon replaced with the FILBE pack.
❤ Travel on Shoestring ❤ Thanks for taking us with you!! You are generous in sharing your adventures. May God richly Bless you, brother Mark.
I hear that train a comin, comin round that bend , and I seen the sunshine since I don't know when. ❤
Goodbye brother you brought not only an adventure but education and I am forever greatful for teaching about the trains.. Rip buddy
So many videos he left us, the more I watch the worse I feel I never met him.
Mid-50's here, it doesn't get any easier with the mystery joint and muscle pains! Makes my day seeing you out there adventuring!
first thing I think every morning: "what's gonna hurt today?"
Beautiful country shoestring thanks for taking us along with you. Stay safe during your travels & most importantly have a great time 😊
Hey shoestring. This is the truck driver that said hi to you in piney flats TN a couple of weeks ago. Stay safe out there.
The guy who have Shoestring the Granola bars and the 20 spot? You're a mensch, Sir. 🖖🙂
The ONLY bad part about a Hobo Shoestring video adventure is when the video ends. You inspire so many people, including kids. You are a gift to this community your legacy lives on. Thank you 🇺🇲🛤
Hi Big Ireland Fan 3yrs
In the sweet bye and bye you're gonna find Shoestring waiting for the Golden train . I'm going to miss you my friend. RIP Mark. See you there someday. 😊
😂😂 21:17 some kind of shit shampoo
What a great video Shoestring, a little bit of everything in it. I hope you're happily exploring the heavenly Spirit World now. We miss you!
This man is the king of hobos a walking encyclopedia living on the rails right on Shoestring you da man ✌️
Bishop Shoestring he certainly is today 😇
@@noneshere your so right and im devastated now
Glad to see you back on and taking it easy out there
on the tracks and seeing the wheels going over the
tracks and the boards were moving, another great video
just be careful and have fun seeing the country, Thank You
very much Shoestring.👋🤠✌️

At the 1:30 mark, when you point the camera up, the draw there. My wife's grandparents owned most all of that land. Her Grandpa was the one who would break the Budweiser Clydesdales that you would see on tv. Another cool thing about Bonners Ferry. That's where a lot of the hops are grown for beer as well, but that's on the other side of town, and my best friend is the head mechanic for all the equipment. It's crazy to see on your video a place that I'm frequently at. I hope you enjoyed it there.
I got cancer surgery in my leg end of this month at Shands in Gainesville Florida, but soon as I recover I'm heading out too.
I just ordered more 96 gallon trash bags. They're the best hot weather bivy bag there is.
You can even ride a nice flat lip porch grainer out of town looking like trash bags left on deck.
✌️
Hey Shoestring, I live between Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry in a town called Naples. Glad to see you made it this way. It’s Going to start getting colder and wetter at night in a hurry. If you head north and start camping be aware of grizzly bears and moose. Stay safe
Shoestring is the last of his kind folks. Believe it. He's one of the most interesting people on UA-cam.
Lake Pend Oreille is Idaho’s biggest, at 43 miles long with 111 miles of shoreline. It’s also the deepest (at 1,158 feet deep, there are only four deeper lakes in the nation). Dug out by Ice Age glaciers and located amid three major frontal ranges of the northern Rocky Mountains.
Very interesting. Check out Lake Chelan in WA as it's very beautiful.
Lake Chelan in Washington State is a bit deeper, 1486' deep. Who knows what's down there?
Crater Lake DEEPEST IN NORTH AMERICA
@@kens.213a democrat that makes sense… ✌🏻
@@MISCIFMAKERGreat Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, at 2015 feet,is the deepest lake in North America.
HEY BROTHER..... YOU MAY HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY SPIDER OR SOMETHING.... SOME BITES CAN CAUSE MUSCLE PARALYSIS ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍❤️❤️👍👍
Pinched nerve is nothing to joke with. I’m recovering from surgery back in May. Docs removed a piece of bone that was putting pressure on the nerves. Got titanium rods and screws in my neck. Physical therapy daily resistance training etc. So far so good. The last thing to return to normal is my hands. Still have pin and needles and my grip is back 100%.
Best thing about my surgery? I quit smoking! Been a smoker since 1972. Can’t smoke because the nicotine can cause a reaction that slows down the recovery process.
Love the videos. Looking like you’re going hit 200k subscribers soon 👍🏻
I'm tramping to cancer surgery in Gainesville Florida end of this month.
Tumor trying to grow under a siatic nerve.
You rite, nerve pain will make you want to die.
But some of the drugs make you the living dead too. Make you walk rite into fire without a thought.. Best of wishes, keep living 👍
J.B. THAT'S GREAT YOU STOPPED 🚬 SMOKiNG & YOU ARE RiGHT ABOUT CiGS MAKE YOU HEAL UP SUPER SLOW AND CAUSE TONS OF PROBLEMS ✨️💪💯...
0:55 Looks like a white birch to me.
18:00 My bag is very similar to that and I added on to it. Spent $85 brand new all-in. Amazing what you can find now days.
Hello Shoestring, I'm sure you must have been through here numerous times, but I don't recall you ever mentioning New Orleans. We would love to see you over here. a lot of people who ride the rails stop here and hang out. I'm sure you would get red carpet treatment from everybody. I live next door to the St. Louis cathedral in the French Quarter and could put you up if you wish. Give a holler, and be safe out there...
Awesome place. 👌 nice and cooler up there. Have fun shoestring.
I'm surprised to see Mark is fan of Star Wars. Did everyone catch those tattoos. Only a truly devoted fan would do that.
Hey man thanks for showing that diamond up close. I have seen them on google maps satellite view but never up close. Wondered how they would pull it off but the actually cut grooves in the steel. Makes total sense now. As always great video.
i saw the loose bolts bolting on to the ties guess it floats a bit
Back in the eighties i hopped my first train in havre,montana,heading east.I was in the box car for a night and a day untill i got to minnesota.
Good morning Mark good view of the Diamond close by.. every time I see your videos I have a good day.
👍👍🙏🚂🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃 . 🇨🇦
I live right near there. Wish I could have met you and sang you a song with my guitar ✌️🫶🌈🦋🎶🎵
I'm this close to walking away from everything. Maybe the new shoestring soon.
you know its going to be a good day when shoestring uploads
I think I'd rather get shot than to be stuck inside of a train with no waterr food That is a living nightmare✊️
Thank you for the videos. I look forward to every single one. I learn something new Everytime. Absolutely breathtaking views
Great video Shoestring! I've had trouble with my right hand not working right for quite some time, mine is pinched nerves in the neck, can't hardly even sign my name anymore, I hate that feeling, hope yours don't flare up on you alot! Safe travels out there and Happy Rails!👍 And Happy Birthday to Luke!🥳
Beautiful scenery
look mommy, that man has rabies, he's foaming at the head
I've got a brother in Sand point I'd. Haven't seen him in 20 some years. Probably never will
How entertaining is this? I turned off an apple plus tv program to watch my man HSS from Idaho. Outstanding video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Shoestring, That's probably the same RAIL that my grandfather a great-uncle and my Uncle Al passed by on back in the 1930s sometime during the Depression ! my grandfather was a steam engineer up around Altoona Wisconsin Chippewa Falls ,colfax. he used to feed the hobos when he was an engineer, take food down there to the jungle and bring them home to work. For some reason gramps lost his job during the Depression! Thay jumped the rail your on probably? that's when they went to Portland from Wisconsin.. then they must have sent for the rest of the family cuz I was born in Portland in 1956 saying hi be safe Mark southern Missouri Ozarks USA I forgot what year it is it September is it 2023 yet?
Great video Brother. I was looking closely at the crossover and I was surprised to see all of the loose bolts. Of course you cannot report it because they will get you for trespassing. But that seems like it has a big potential for being a site for an derailment. I guess that when the railroad workers watch your video, they will see that it needs some attention.
Obviously the scenery is amazing and your knowledge is always on point. The golfers didn't seem to mind you being on property and making a video.
Here's some interesting history. The locomotive that was parked there is a GP-39-2. Not so special so far right. Well it was originally built for the Missouri Kansas Texas (MKT) as part of a 3 locomotive purchase. They were GP#'s 1210-1212 however the MKT numbered them 361-363. All three were built and delivered on April of 1984. Before UP reset it's locomotive numbering scheme, they were originally UP#'s 2360-2362. According to the UP roster information that I could find. The MKT purchased a total of 6 of the GP-39-2's and 3 GP-39N's in April of 1984. I was not able to find any information on the GP-39N locomotives or how they differed from the other GP-39 loco's.
Looking forward to seeing some daytime riding and hearing some more knowledge. Stay safe and "Drink Water."
You are so funny Shoestring! It sounds like carpal tunnel in your wrist. It will get worse so get it checked. Thank you and be safe.
Top man shoestring I feel so much happier for watching your content matey.big respect from uk and stay safe✌️
Hey Shoestring. So glad you made it through my hometown. I've lived here most of my life and always heard that familiar "duh duh duh duh" sound echoing across town. I knew it was the train passing over something and making noise, but I never knew exactly where. I just learned today that it's because of the four-way you talk about at 7:40. This is a nostalgic sound of my childhood. Thanks for solving the mystery. I always love watching your travels. Keep on keepin' on.
I live in Sagle!
I love it when Sir Shoestring starts off trackside at camp.. I haven't watched this yet tho looking forward to it. I'm out western NSW in Australia looking at railways and 'Grainers' big arse menacing looking American Pride vehicles seem to be on the rise out here with RAM trucks on the increase. I think they are sold here now..
I'm starting to monologue..
I like shopping at Super-1 Foods for meats and produce, I was hoping you’d get a chance to ride across the new trestle over Lake Pend Oreille.
Thank you so much Hobo Shoestring from Little Luke! He didn't know what to say when his hero gave him a shoutout! We hope you have a good trip and be safe. Im glad you got that beard under control! 🤣. Have a good one buddy! we'll see you soon!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🫡
Shoestring rocks! Great to see you, your videos are so good! Thanks for taking us with you on your railway travels😊👍🇺🇸⭐️
I bet thats a way better way to spend your life than in an office.
Just what I needed on a rainy Saturday evening. Hope you're doing well Mark!
My Friend., go get check for T.I.A. pinched nerve Shouldn't make fingers not move
Also Get someone to braid beard,keeps clean an looks wise ❤
Your knowledge of geography is amazing!! Of course so is your railroad knowledge!!! Quite intellectual you are!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Grew up in Spokane, good to see you out that way.
Sandpoint was a pretty decent place back in the day too.
Great video, appreciate you!
That was sure funny you taking a shower for your beer sorry beard. One gallon idea in the sun , I should try that around the house. I fell off a ladder and september’s that month for me. .see if I heal ! You know you’re bless’d when you have one good side to lay on. Things will change forget it and see what’s happening later ‘cause if it’s real bad it will change.
Hap birthday, Luke you’ve got the greatest best friend ! That pound sign like shape of the cross tracks, was sure noisy.
Smart water is the water you have in your possession, take care shoe string
You got sailor drunk arm,it will come back,if it don't get a doctor
Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I have almost the exact same problem and I decided to try stretching by finding something to grab on to and, and then leaning away using my body weight to apply pulling pressure straight out to the side. Sort of the same direction and motion you would use to set a dislocated shoulder. I do that when I get up and before I go to bed, just for about 2 minutes. If it starts to hurt or tingle anywhere I just ease up a little. It's been getting better for me every day.
Dang shoestring you used more water than a horse
Good to see you again Mark. Stay safe out there Shoestring!
Man were you been was waiting for a new video ❤❤
Shoestring sure does know his Rail Lines, he's a wealth of knowledge.. Your a great American brother Shoestring an Old School Gem.. Safe Travels brother
If you hop into a Walmart and you have $20 on you, get a sawyer mini water filter and you can screw that on onto a smart water bottle. Take care buddy!
My birthday is October 7. I will be 61
Happy , pre b'day
You need to go to the emergency room. You may have had a mini stroke.
At the 10:00 mark...... what is that section of track for.?
The main rails kind of flare out a bit on each side, and then there is an extra 5 foot section on each inside rail
Thank You
Make sure you didn't have a mini-stroke! My left hand did that right after I had a heart cath and stent . See if you have any other problems on that side of your body. I couldn't hear out of my left ear. Weird stuff. I couldn't whistle.
If u sleep naked then no one will mess with u while u sleep.
Mark, follow Bob and Brad or Squat University (physical therapists) to learn about shoulder rehab. Start hanging from things and get some bands to rehab. Eat more meat and get plenty of sun. Stay strong.
Always good to see a new video. Take care of that shoulder and get well soon. Stay safe out there too.
Damn buddy, a lot of slow and slurred speech in this video but I ain't mad at you. Have fun and be careful 👍
🙄
That old UP, GP39-2, switcher, #1210, used to belong to the Katy railroad. Back then she was known as number 361.
Made my day seeing this video come up. Shirtless hobo pouring water over his head. Hey… got to give the ladies something too
I was born and raised in Sandpoint Idaho
Good to see you Shoestring, as always!
Amazing video Shoestring. 👏👏
@HoboShoestring, can you make a video on how hobos find food in nature, mushrooms vegetables, and what kind of berries there is, maybe hobos fishing?
US hobos got cash and plastic today.
Many ride buses around america .
You also learn missions & real organizations along the ways.
Get food, shower , even laundry done by 1pm at some places.
Hygiene is a Must, even for travelers.
@@noneshere True! This hobo knows that! Very well said!
@@noneshere can't we remember the old days when there was nothing but nature's offerings on the way?
Good to see ya out on the rails. Thank You for the update. Stay Safe !
That shampoo is horse shampoo. It is real good to use for humans to
Tresemme is not horse shampoo. It is shampoo for people
It's good for bald spots too
I like watching your train hopping videos
How come you don’t get your eyes fixed. I had mine done, only cost $400. The VA COVERS IT
He has Ocular Histoplasmosis. Surgery will not correct his eyesight
Hey, you’re in my neck of the woods. I’m here in Spokane!
I'm allergic to ragweed too. Some fool next door where I use to live planted it Infront of their house. I told them I was allergic to it and they so it's so pretty when it turns. I almost snapped that jerks neck. I said so you like planting weeds around your house? She said it is not it's shrubs lol. I went to a town meeting and the next day they told her to pull it up not cut it pull it. Sometimes people are so uncaring and stupid. Love ya ShoeString stay well and safe my friend.
Are you homeless?
No he is not. Has a home in Eastern Tennessee.
No he has a home!
Good to see you. Out on the rails. Hope your arm is feeling better. Prayers to you. Stay safe.
You have to be the cleanest hobo on UA-cam! But it sure feels good to be clean. Ride on Shoestring.
Keeping clean is part of the hobo code 🙂
RIP "shoestring"😢
Thanks for another great video Shoestring !! Ride that train 'till it run out of track, can't wait for the riding video and scenery it will bring us. Hope the arm gets better:) 8/2/2024 RIP Shoestring........Thanks for all you shared with us.......Bye.
My brother rocking that Millennium Falcon Tattoo! ✊🏿💪🏿🤛🏿
