- I got Ken a stuffed animal puppy and a stuffed animal chicken hen with eggs and nest and Brandon was at his dad's house spending Christmas so I didn't get to see him. He got a B17 poster and a B17 model. He absolutely loves WWII aircraft!
Shoestring is VERY smart and frequently surprises me with his knowledge on/in many subjects. I am well educated at one of the U.S.'s major, elite universities and am certain that he could have easily graduated had his life taken him in that direction. Someone mentioned in a comment below being envious of Shoestring's freedom, and I am too. If you think about it, isn't FREEDOM what each of us wants, strives for, to eventually have the money to do whatever we want? While you (I'm retired.) sit in your office, or where ever, working like a gerbil on a cage wheel, Shoestring is free, living his life the way he wants it. I admire him. To you, Shoestring, if you are reading this, best wishes. I am 78 and not much time left and wish I had lived a more free life. As you near the end, people, It is interesting what you look back on and decide really mattered.
Hope youre doing good, buddy. Our friend Shoestring passed away last week.
"I clear my mind and think about the good things." Good advice!
That was some advice, i find myself doing it alot these days
You honestly can't find much fault in what the hobo says. I really would like to hear him answer life questions from viewers. Something tells me the man's well of experience runs deep!
That's also great advice when you can't sleep. Think about good memories from when you were little. I fall asleep easily when I do that.
Jerold Wolford. Much agreed Jerold. Shoestring reminds me of the Jordan Peterson of Hobos! I would love a Q&A with Shoestring pertaining to life’s mysteries and wonders. Call it mysteries and wonders with shoestring. I’m hunkered down in my minivan bedding down for the nite. Probably right below freezing here in Lower Michigan. Had a sad Christmas. Laid up in a detox bed for the day. Left the next day. At least my boys had a good time with family and there Mom. Even if I was sad that she seemed to move on without me. Not to make excuses but talking to her on Christmas took the wind right out from my sails. To all my brothers and sisters struggling with addiction, don’t give up. We got one life and even when all seems lost there’s always things to be grateful for. Stay blessed out there you all. Much Love.
Very good advice . I'm going to try it. Thank you.
You possess a kind of freedom that few of us will ever have, or understand. I envy you that!
Well said.
Shoe,
Please don't ever forget that many lonesome people all over the place probably benefit greatly from your videos, stories, and general presence. Especially at a time such as Christmas Day, 2020.
Thanks for all you do.
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.. ✌
Who would give any of Shoestrings Videos a Thumbs down 👎 👎?!?!? I guess there are some people that are just Mad at life!!! I don’t see how a mans Biography can have a thumbs down...God Bless You, Haply New Year!!!

Happy Christmas and thanks for sharing your stories with us Hobo Shoestrings. 🎄
I stumbled across your videos recently because I’ve been thinking about hopping trains for a while to clear my head and deal with a lot of the mental struggles I’ve been having with the monotony of life. I’ve got everything I need together now, and I’m soon going to catch a train out of my small coastal MS town. Thank you for documenting your journey and hopefully I meet you on the rails one day, Merry Christmas Shoestring and safe travels
Happy new years! where ever you may be
cheers from Chicago!

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954,still get a tear in my eye when I hear an old train in the night.
Merry Christmas all 🎄
Would you believe that I waited for 3 hours at st Denis last night just to see q137
@@centralMDrailfan haha, yeah i believe it!!
Happy Christmas from Ireland mark , stay safe buddy .
Watching that walk was kinda cool. Got to be honest, thought I was gonna see all sky all of a sudden.
Merry Christmas shoestring im watching from northeast arkansas love your story's
Hello there! Would it surprise you to learn there's a place in Canada that normally enjoys warmer winters than NE Arkansas? Snow is also extremely rare there. Would that fact surprise you?
Adam Pierce If interested, copy/paste the following searches to Google's search engine 1. Jonesboro, Arkansas average winter temperatures 2. Race Rocks, Canada average winter temperatures. Do so, and you'll see Race Rocks, Canada has warmer winter temperatures than Jonesboro - (MUCH warmer overnight!).
That was quite a 'stretch of the legs' there. I'm exhausted .. lol Merry Christmas Shoestring !
Merry Christmas from New Zealand. This is our official start of summer. If the trains came this way I am sure you would be too. All the best for 2021
that's an incredible opening. I love the high speed silence
I live in northern Maine and you got more snow where you are right now then we do, we're getting rain on Christmas day
Merry Christmas mr Shoestring!!!

Merry Christmas Shoestring! Nice to see you having a White Christmas. God Bless You. Thanks for sharing...
Merry Christmas shoestring. Be safe riding those rails.
Last time I had a white Christmas was in Amarillo. As with you, it's a time for reflection and counting blessings. I thank God I'm only a sojourner on earth. I live in this world but I am not of this world. You said something about peace in a video. Peace is not out of reach. I recall Jesus said, peace I give you. Not as the world gives. I pray that you and everyone finds this indescribable, not calculated peace that surpasses all understanding. No matter what happens in this world, we can have peace. I don't know of a better Christmas present. And thank you for keeping the hobo way alive. I would hate to see all the hobo history to be lost.
Merry Christmas Shoestring !!!! Stay safe and ride on !!!!!
Great stories as usual my friend. Merry Christmas and safe travels.
