Beware, this is kind of a deep rabbithole.

I suggest to look up his trip up from Mexico, following the migrant route. For a different view of the same trip, his travelling companion (automous something) has his own channel.

RanOutOnARail isn't really a hobo though ... I think he's a software engineer in Texas somewhere.

Hobo Shoestring has an interesting channel also, albeit with a home base. You'll learn a lot about trains, and hobos' most hated adversaries, the 'homebums'. :D

And of course, there's a 10x hobo, in stobe-the-hobo (RIP), well worth watching all his videos.



Stobe's videos got me through lockdown. Was so sad to hear he had died. Stunning videos, huge character, and so much soul in the journeys he went on.
