Hey y'all howdy from Saluda NC. Look brothers of the human friggin race, I'm a 60 yr old white dude that has done a whole lot in my days on this ball. I've thumbed to California,Texas, Illinois, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, florida, oh god and New York that one was crazy, so I get it. I personally just simply loved the absolute freedom that I have and had. I beleive that a man can go anywhere he wants to go in this country. We are free so do what you want to do just don't expect anything from anybody, and just treat people the way you would like to be treated and man I had a great time and I wish you guys all the best on your journey just becareful and stay straight with the law and you'll have the time of your life. Good luck and we'll be prayin for you
@@davidwadsworth8982what you talking about. Travelers work. I'm pretty sure they talked about working in the beginning. I'm pretty conservative but i can respect travelers. In used to be one. So eat a dick
Oh Gawd what a nightmare when I was a real housie with an apartment and a Prius. I felt like I was working my guts out for the landlord, the Toyota Motor Company, the utilities, the restaurants because so often it was easier to shell out $15 for a meal then cook for myself due to time constraints, etc. Thank God the 08 crash freed me from that.
@@davidwadsworth8982 you fucking kidding me? im genuinely asking you, are you kidding? that shit is traaaaasssssshhhhhhh my dude. ill give you a list of way better musicians to listen to: 1. arctic monkeys 2. jane reynolds virtual bird 3. these guys 4. sub urban 5. pat the bunny 6. ajj 7. just nick 8. ramshackle glory 9. johnny hobo and the freight trains 10. wingnut dishwashers union 11. dead kennedys 12. honestly anyone else

I was a traveling musician for over a decade. It was a lot of fun, but the drugs/ alcohol got the best of me. I had to straighten out my health and spirit in the ICU for a few months. It feels nice having a home now, and a healthy life. The time I spent traveling was fun, but it takes a toll on your body, mind, and spirit. Thank God that traveling life lead me to Jesus Christ.
honestly, what you say seems like more of the truth to me than the glamour of this supposed freedom. i hope all these folks are doing ok, but it just seems like a very tough existence. i'm very glad that you are doing well. keep it up!
I cherish and appreciate the days of travel where I was looking for answers. Didnt know what I was looking for till I found it. But there it was laying at the end of the tracks. Closeness to The Creator. I found Islam, finding that spirituality out there, man thats a blessing right there.
You are a poser. See freight lines do not roll into the middle of a town.Usually the out skirts,some very not nice area,really do not see much except trains.
You can get paid to do that like in he service or Merchant Marine.Hey how about working for a rail company. But that would require you being able to take instruction. And be responsible and ADULT!
@@davidwadsworth8982 Yeah, okay, we get it your life is so righteous and we all need to be more like you. You clearly have all the answers and see no need for individuality or personal variance.
