A lot of us live vicariously through Shoestring, and the freedom he represents is very important for people to witness. Thanks for contributing to his safe return home.
Thanks for putting this out there. I’ve been following Shoestring for a couple years too. He is the nicest person around. We will keep praying and sharing all the posts.
Everybody and his brother is out looking for Shoestring. He's got to turn up. I hope he's ok when he does. I used to work in Ft Payne running a bunch of knitting machines. Lol next time you get a hankering to visit Choo Choo City, young feller, maybe try I59? Less trouble that way :D
Thanks for the video dude! Alot of us are worried about Mark. The more attention this gets the greater the odds of locating him are. Lets hope we find him before the police find him and escalate the situation. We want him safe! We don't want him shot by the police.
It’s a legitimate point, I’m from New Zealand and I still don’t understand why your police shot and killed Christian Glass from New Zealand when he called them looking for help, I mean he was giving them love hearts when the shot and killed him. Lots of people in mental health crisis are shot and killed in the USA, meanwhile in New Zealand our police don’t even carry a gun.
Rip shoestring and stobe who understand life and brought us so much happiness. Will be missed by all his friends family and viewers. Life is short so live it how it makes sense to you.
I pray for him to be found safe. To all the youtube people spreading the word. Thank you. A man can be measured by how many friends he has. Shoestring is a blessed man.
Unfortunately they found hobo shoestring in a lake by his apartment a fisherman found him i rekon the cops fished his body out and there doing an autopsy on him now according what the Johnson city news reported rest in peace mark nickles i found out on Johnson City news 11 i live 45 minutes from Johnson City and we get there news coverage i loved his videos
A body was found in Boone Lake this afternoon according to the Johnson City Police. Here is a snippet of the release A body was recovered from Boone Lake on Friday afternoon, according to the Johnson City Police Department. A spokesperson with the JCPD said that first responders were actively searching the lake using sonar for a missing man, Mark Nichols, when a fisherman discovered the body. The JCPD spokesperson said the body has not yet been identified. I would say this is not a good sign. Thoughts and prayers are with the family
Lord, I ask for your protection over Shoestring, wherever he is. Keep him safe, healthy, and resilient. Shield him from harm and ensure his well-being. I pray for his safe and unharmed return home.
Christmas day 2022, I sat down in front of the tv and loaded youtube. Hobo shoestring's channel popped up for whatever reason and I started watching. I switched between him and the documentaries on the whole hobo culture, one of which was narrated by Ernest Borgnine. I was hooked. I think I binge watched Shoestring's channel for the rest of the week. Undoubtedly the man has had a hard life and he's been dry for about 8 years, but he's enjoyed freedom we can only dream of and seen the country he lives in like very few of our generation has. I do hope he's found safe!
That's because they don't think this and they don't think that? They know better than the people who know Marks habits. It's why alot of missing people are never found. The fact that he rides freight trains automatically makes them not to waste man power because they instantly believe even with all his gear still there he hopped a train.
Because the police consider him a transient/ homeless person and they don't want to waste resources and manpower on a hobo. Let's just call it for what it is. But I'll bet if everybody in that town signed a petition that said they won't vote for the Sheriff in the next election unless he went and looked for him you'd better bet he'd have divers in that water the next day!
With the amount of people looking for him and concerned for him and his health. You can. See why he is truly the hobo.King and the crown was stoled from him.
Atheist here, after all prays, booths on the ground, knock on doors, ask for door/surveillance videos. I think he got out on the backside on the lake side, houses on the other side must have cameras to. Please inform the search team about the cameras before they delete them!!!
I’ll post again wen I hear more, right now a lot of people are speculating and assuming tha worst cus all we know right now is he’s gone some were and he’s not got any of his gear or wallet or meds and he’s not at his camps
He ain’t coming back. I strongly feel he’s dead. I live about 25 miles from Johnson City in Virginia about 3 miles from the Tennessee line. The JC PD and Sullivan County Sheriffs office are a joke. He probably jumped in the lake behind the apartments he lives in. They might eventually get around to dragging the lake but I have my doubts they’ll ever find him.
Mark only rides by him self. He hates riding with ithers. He says riding with others will get you caught or injured. He went solo a long time ago. He says that in a few of his vlogs.
I had heard about Shoestring going missing and I was searching you tube for that, and you were recommended because of that , you probably got a few subs today?@@kiddoutdoors1989
thank you for helping we all watch him on youtube

Why would the police shoot him. There is a SILVER ALERT issue for him.
Please tell me what you’re talking about. Does he have a reason to be shot? Are you a defund the police type? Lol

I posted videos and articles on my various social media … many prayers
What i dont understand is why the police department didn't use tracking dogs when they found his personal items like the bucket
That's because they don't think this and they don't think that? They know better than the people who know Marks habits. It's why alot of missing people are never found. The fact that he rides freight trains automatically makes them not to waste man power because they instantly believe even with all his gear still there he hopped a train.
He didn't have his gear with him. He left ANYTHING at his apartment. His Wallet, ID, gear, camera, phone and (important thing) his medication.
Because the police consider him a transient/ homeless person and they don't want to waste resources and manpower on a hobo. Let's just call it for what it is. But I'll bet if everybody in that town signed a petition that said they won't vote for the Sheriff in the next election unless he went and looked for him you'd better bet he'd have divers in that water the next day!
we're All praying for you Hobo Shoestring to be found safe and unharmed we all love you buddy you have a huge fan base that cares about you man
I hope they find him
Thank you for posting this. If more people know then more people can search.
RIP Stay cool
With the amount of people looking for him and concerned for him and his health. You can.
See why he is truly the hobo.King and the crown was stoled from him.

Drugs make your teeth rot 😂😂😂
Ol shoestring has a lot of folks worried about him. Praying for a safe return.
You might need a shower 🚿 😂😂😂
Will you keep us posted about shoestring hobo
I’ll post again wen I hear more, right now a lot of people are speculating and assuming tha worst cus all we know right now is he’s gone some were and he’s not got any of his gear or wallet or meds and he’s not at his camps
The Original is 6.1 165 tall thin Military Service Member Ret Vet.. but this other is 218 5.9 ht.. Something is strange..
Commenting to push the algorithm. Thanks to all for your work in raising awareness. Thinking and hoping for the best. Kudos from Australia.
Get this out shoestring is in the lake by his apartment. He slipped and that's where he is I know.
May God be watching over our only true hobo... wnc here. Looked at 197 highway ,mitchell mitchell Yancey.
I heard they used his picture for LRS in WARNO
How do you eat with no teeth 🦷 😅😅😅
Ur a sad person! Get a life. Jesus is waiting
If he didn't take his gear then I dont think he planed to go on the trains. Check around the lake
I saw Mark a few weeks ago. He was at home then, but haven't seen him since.
Maybe he started drinking again?
That's what I thought he might be 3 sheets to the wind 🍺🍺🍺
@@Marcuswelby-nx2teyou know that's a damn lie 😠
You eat baby food 😂😂
Clean the house 😅😅😅
I get my mashed peas from dollar tree lmfao
Maybe if you take a shower 🧼 😂😂

Every thing helps, than u
Man i am praying for shoe, but this doesnt seem right.

crying for us all
Mark only rides by him self. He hates riding with ithers. He says riding with others will get you caught or injured. He went solo a long time ago. He says that in a few of his vlogs.
Preserve yourself by not hopping trains or trespassing on RR property. It’s just a matter of time before you make yourself a victim.
Work in the coal mine 😂😂
That's my Son! Back off
this is what happened to shoestring ua-cam.com/video/7mHaf86ULUk/v-deo.html
