Hobos & Hard Times - Historic Train Station, Railroad, Coal Fire, Hobo Can Pot, Hobo Bindle

- I have always been fascinated by the Hobo culture, especially during the years after the Civil War and on up through the Great Depression Era. In this video, I demonstrate the "Bindle" or Blanket Stick as well as trying to imitate a real Bindlestiff (Hobo). I also show an authentic hobo way to use a can as a pot. Please note that the can I use has already had the BPA plastic lining burned out. In the old days, tin cans did not have a plastic lining and you could open them up and simply warm them over a fire. Nowadays, you must burn out the lining first and this is why you see me using two cans in the video even though I'm officially only carrying one in my "Bindle".

This video was a lot of fun to make. To imagine how it would have felt to grab an armful of boxcars and head to some unknown and exciting destination. And for just a little while to step back in time to a simpler but harder life where a person could make their own way with just their two hands, their wits and a little help from above... Thank you for watching and please leave your comments in the comment section below!
I loved every minute of it!
Thank you!
Of course you had to know your markings... signs hobos would leave for others. Subtle Mark's usually. Scratches on a tree, this house gives handouts, this house hires odds jobs for food. This house avoid, danger, safe place... ETC...
Some towns really hated them. Some railroads were rough on them while others didn't care. Alot of books on it.
For some reason living like that looks fun😂
Look up Mercer county Missouri train accident. The most recent one.
I'm a simple man I see hobo's and their tools and I click 👍
Thank you for watching!
We lived across from the train station in my hometown of Peru Indiana, I can remember as a child seeing the hoboes. They would often pitch camp behind a produce market, from time to time my friends and I would take food to them. Never ever fearing them or disrespecting them, they were just men who had a different life. There were times when we would listen to their tales of travel. I guess life was more simpler then, those guys like your video showed true survival skills. Thanks for the memories of a wonderful childhood 🤗
Thank you so much! Glad I could help bring back good memories.
Funny, I grew up in Converse IN…
@@Ben77788 Small world, our parents always brought us over there on Friday evenings to a small cafe. Growing up in Peru you eat sleep and live in the circus but it was always fun to go to the Converse fair.
@@johnny56g it must be a small world. I remember being a kid and watching the Converse fair from my bedroom at night. I remember that big green/yellow double Ferris wheel. The fairgrounds were literally across the railroad tracks from the house I grew up in.
@@Ben77788 imagine these odds of us talking about the ConverseFair, by the way I currently live is Statesboro GA it has been my pleasure interacting with you. I pray that life has been kind.
My Dad was a railroad engineer who, prior to all of the prohibitions, and insurance regulations, used to take me on trips with him. I grew up with trains, railroad stations, and hobos, who had some of the most fascinating stories to tell that I believe I ever heard ... :-) He's been gone for many years, but I can still remember riding in the engine , with my head out of, what then was a glass less port, looking down the track ahead, and also looking back and trying to see the caboose, as we came around a bend. Thanks for the nostalgia and the happy memories.,, Peace & kindness.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting and for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it!
I been hoboing since my teen years took my first freight when I was 14 and left home at 17 . I'm now 23 and currently been in a house since last November. I do love the video and I hope we can meet soon. The only thing I stress is that you need to make sure people who watch your videos know the risks of being on the Rails . Most of my viewer's get the point but I hate reading in the news of kids especially , being killed by a train . Anyways I have done some bindle videos and I'm about to head out Friday night to ride for a few days . So anyways I'll see you down the line as we say.

Thank you so much for watching! Send me a link to your videos. Be safe out there!
I really enjoy these hobo videos. I think I've seen all of them multiple times.
Glad you like them!
I remember as a kid hearing a train every night around bed time. It was a few mile away but you could still hear the faint rhythm of the wheels on the tracks and of course the occasional whistle blow. Used to put me right to sleep. For me, besides the rain on the roof, there isn't a more peaceful sound to fall asleep to.
Yes, there is something oddly comforting about it.
I have always lived near a railroad my whole life for some odd reason. I'm currently living right on an intersection!😂I also am comforted by the sound of the old choo choo as it rumbles past my house 😂 makes me feel at home 😊
I swear I was a hobo in another life 😂 😭😊
Thanks for the pointer back to this one (from a more recent vid). I had forgotten about coal beside the tracks. Steam locomotives used to run on coal or oil and trains still ship coal across the country. Ofttimes, wind would blow it out of the cars. Hobos walking the rails could find chunks here and there. --- Interesting can holder with the stick and lid!
Incredible! Really really refreshing view on survival. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Love the sepia tone. Made an almost authentic feel. Thank you. Blessings!
Thanks so much, that's exactly what I was going for!
Great can & stick idea! Thanks James!
Glad you liked it!
Simplicity is everything. Great video with great tips. Thanks for sharing. Thumb up bro.
Thank you so much!
Yikes, I don't know how I missed this video. It's absolutely amazing. Thanks and God Bless.
You're very welcome and God bless you too!
James, I don't know how I missed this video. It's great.
The beginning reminds me of Buster Keaton!
Thank you so much, that's a great compliment indeed!
Interesting video, I enjoyed it. There are at least 4 theories about where the word Hobo came from: 1) Hoe Boy from migrant laborers who carried their most important tool, the hoe, with them. 2) Ho Boy, a common greeting. 3) Ho Boy (or Beau), a phrase used on the railroads when throwing mail sacks off the trains. 4) A contraction of the words "Homeward Bound." What is known is the first recorded use of the word is from California in the 1890's. Pretty fascinating subject really, and a fascinating bit of history. TY for sharing this.
Thank you so much for watching, for the information and for your kind words!
Great video bro. You are doing some amazing work my friend. Keep it up! The split stick can pot was epic!
Thank you, my friend!
Just found your channel, very cool content gonna binge watch tonight 😀
Excellent, glad you're enjoying the channel!
You're a man born out of time James. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks
Thank you so much!
Enjoyable video! Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome, thank you for watching and commenting!
Love the tools. Just found your channel
Thanks so much, glad you like it!
As I watched this video, I just couldn't help but be reminded of Johnny Cash's autobiography. When he talked about his dad having to jump from a moving train after finding work for a day, and roll down a very steep hill...on the days he did find work. I really enjoyed this video, thanks for posting it. God bless.
Thank you!
The black and white film really gave the right feel. Blessings to you and your family 👼🇺🇸 stay safe!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Heck yeah! That was entertaining and educational.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
This is neat thank you. I'd love to see some more hobo themed stuff in the future.
I have thought about it. Definitely worth exploring. Thank you for watching and for your suggestion!
Nice video thanks for sharing
Thank you!
I really like that idea! Very smart.
Thank you!
Good one brother. I enjoyed it.
Thank you, Chief!
This was good. Someday, I'd like to see you act out the story of "Stone Soup" I still remember reading this when I was a kid in school. Ask the kids now and none have ever heard of it.
That would be a neat idea! Thank you for watching!
Great job! I would love if you could do a vintage hiker as well. Old equipment and the look.
That's an interesting concept, thanks for the idea!
@@WayPointSurvival yes please do a Nessmuk vid.
How ingenious these men were to make such simple eating implements.
Indeed they were!
Just found this video..job well done! I was Blessed to have met 'Reefer Charlie' and spent hours with him during his last years on Earth. Hobos called him Reefer as he preferred the refrigerator trains they got from place to place faster than other trains, he'd jump on the moving train affix his walking stick to the latter and 'take a nap' the slowing of the train would wake him up. Charlie (Charles Elmer Fox) wrote a book Tales of an American Hobo. He also spent summers foraging with his Grandpa (full blooded Delaware Indian) in western IN. Back in 1977 he published a book 'Weeds and other good things to eat' but yanked it from press. By the time I moved to the town he was known as 'Doc' as he knew his weeds and local edibles.
Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful story and what an honor it must have been to have known those great old hobos!
Great job. I enjoy the notion of being able to have gear, but one can really appreciate the survival skills of hobos, early pioneers, and Native Americans. The ability to get what is necessary to get by on a very slim inventory. It all goes back to skills.
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
Love that old train station. And The history of it
It was a fun place to film for sure!
Another excellent video!! my friend
Thank you!
Thanks for the nostalgic look at self reliance. The jack\pocket knife looked like my childhood "Barlow" knife.
Yes, it is an old Barlow. Good eye!
Also had a Barlow knife, but haven't seen one for years. Don't know if they're still being made. Would sure like to find a source of such a great old American product.
Great video. Thanks again.
Thank you!
That's a good idea using a split stick for a handle on your billy can. I saw a hobo heat up his ravioli on a big roll of hot steel in a railcar one time.
Thank you!
Love those old black and white movies 😉 nice video thank you 😊👍
Thanks so much!
Great tip using the tin lid on a stick. Never seen that before 👍
Thank you! It is actually an old hobo trick.
I like how you 'Aged" the film. I remember learning in History class way back about "Riding the Rails " during the Great depression.
Thanks - I always wondered what was in that Bindle stick. shown in old pictures and cartoons.
Thank you. The bindles varied a lot depending on what was available but certain items would have been desirable such as a good knife and sewing repair kit.
Awesome video. More historic and vintage camping videos!!
Thank you!
Good idea for the tin can. Nice little kit.
Thank you!
One thing you should try is 42-42 size bandana. I been using one for years and it still feels amazing.can pack more stuff down if you know how to do it right. I think outside of the hoboing community your on the right side of TH-cam to make some more bindle videos .
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!
My favorite of your playlists, this is one possible of my disappear plans. Yeah I said it.
Thanks so much for watching it!
Great job
Thank you!
So nice
Thanks
in Russia at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century, wanderers and beggars used a “torba” - a canvas bag without compartments or a “kotomka” - things like yours, tied into a scarf and carried on a stick. The modern version of the "torba" is a helikon tex bushcraft satchel.
Very cool history! Thanks for sharing it!
I really wish times were this simple again no cell fones just a man and his wits to survive and get place to place
Indeed. They were hard times but people were much more dependable and definitely had better morals for the most part.
Love this movie style bushcraft!🇦🇺🤠👍
Thank you so much!
Hola !!
Maravilloso Video
Me encanto el tono " antiguo" de la imagen
Es muy sublime la vida Hobo.
Gracias por hacer esa bonita representacion de un Hobo.
Saludos desde Colombia Sur America .

De nada!
Watched this like three times, or four. And I can hardly watch any video through, because ADHD. I don't know why my fascination is, but your vids do help soothe it. Perhaps Grandpa. Mi Madre, before she passed, said they didn't know anything about her dad, except that he came back from WWI and her maternal family took him in...
Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad that you're enjoying the channel and find it helpful!
Hi there. an unusual but very enjoyable video, thanks fos making and sharing. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Thank you, my friend!
Mit M 43 Mütze, die ist sehr beliebt in Deutschland, richtig Mode war sie 1944 - 1950 er Jahre. Bergmütze, Skimütze, Landsermütze, Jagdmütze, Waldmütze. In einem Louis Trenker Film war sie bei einem Skirennen am Zieleinlauf zum ersten male zu sehen, die Basecap war damals ebenso unbekannt. Die Finnen nennen sie Blutpfanne. Sie kamen 1918 zu ihrer Feldmütze.
As a Californian, just lighting a fire on brush like that gave me Anxiety Lol! All I could think was that that's gonna burn my house down! I know your a professional and had everything under control. Great vid keep up the good work!
Actually, I filmed that in March and everything was green. The black and white makes it look like everything is ready to go up in flames. Thank you for watching.
I'm always had that desire since my youthful days to live the life of a hobo for a while. I'm sure there are good times and bad times or a hobo but I think it would open my eyes do a different world.
Agreed. It would be challenging at times but the sense of freedom would be amazing.
I believe that's been a secret desire of a lot of men; you've left your old troubles behind, and haven't arrived at the " new ones " yet ... :-) :-)
As a retired hobo of 50 years. My hip went bad and I stopped at age 66. You are spot on. Not just anyone is suited for this lifestyle for tho with the kind of wanderlust I had. But I really liked the fact you didn't badmouth hobos. From personal experience I think about half the hobos I ever meet were vets. The survival tips I gained from these knights of the road keep me alive as a 15 year old escaping a horrible childhood. My home situation got to the point of getting beatings from both parents. But you beat any animal enough they just may try to kill you in revenge. I left just shy of that. I also noticed most of the young hobos are from really rotten homes.
Danke für diese Ausführung. Gott segne und schütze Dich.
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your experiences!
As a railway hobo the first priority everyday must have been to secure enough food for that day, not knowing where they would lay their head that night.
And sometimes it would be a few days before they could find any!
If it wasn't so cold I'd head out tomorrow...hahahaha
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful
Thank you!
From Spain. Deer friend, do you need a good cup of spanish wine. 😆🤣. Many thanks for your nice vídeo.
Thanks for watching I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Gran vídeo. Solo comentarte si pudieras hacer uno desde casa en el que pudieras explicar como preparar algunas cosas para el hobo bindle ( algo de comer y otras cosas básicas). El hobo bindle es algo que me gusta mucho porque lo puedes hacer con cosas sencillas. Es solo una idea. He visto otros vídeos donde explican que llevar y me parecería divertida tu version. Saludos desde España.
Thanks so much!
Hobos got a hard knock life!
Indeed!
Maybe the best survival/bushcraft [yes, I noticed you only cut one stick/minimalist video I've seen!
I was born in Muscatine, IA, in 1953. It's located on the Mississippi River. With the barges and locks and the train traffic it was well known for its hobo traffic. I don't remember the particulars anymore but do remember frequent talk of them as a child. They weren't looked on in a favorable way, as I recall.
Yes, it's unfortunate because many hobos were just men looking for work. They differed in that aspect from bums and tramps. Bums were alcoholics and tramps were too lazy to work unless forced to.
@@WayPointSurvival probably true but you know how people can be about labeling. I've definitely come across my share of bums and tramps in my life although I'm sure they wouldn't call themselves that.
@@florarix7091 That's true.
Hobos knew how to survive, sadly, for the most part they are extinct now. One of the most interesting books that I have read is called tales of an American hobo, by Charles fox. He passed away a few years back sadly. But I'm sure you can find the book online for free. Good read. You did a nice job on the video, hell, as a boy I hopped the rails to get from one end of town to the other.
Thank you so much for watching the video for the heads up on the book!
Here is a hobo story for you, one day a hobo walked into town and sat down to rest. Well a few men were talking near by and the hobo hear then say they had a rat problem at the granary. The hobo spoke up and said I can kill those rats for you. The men looked at each other and after a few mins said, how much would it cost. The hobo said a good meal and cup of coffee and a little food to take with him. The men said done deal. After the hobo had his meal and the food to take with him stored away. He went and sat back down were he was before. The men said, hey aren't you going to kill those rats? The hobo said sure am, bring them to me.
Lol. That's really funny story, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you sir.
I recognised some items from the 1880's in the bag. This is certainly a highly educational video, sadly a lot of their memories went with their passing but there must have been books written on the subject holding such treasured memories of their times.
Old Timer folding knives rings a bell, can you please include a review in another video?.
Thank you so much! Yes, there are a few books out there on the hobos and their lives, but a lot passed away with them. The knife I used is an old barlow, I believe.
Hi, having watched this video again,, I have to throw in this tuppence worth.
The Frisbie pie dish would have certainly been in use by hoboes having acquired them for free, such dishes could have been a form of currency and used either as a cooking dish, a plate etc, the earlier dishes were indeed well made which would easily withstand the rigours of having roasted coffee beans reduced by hammering with a wooden implement to make a precious mug of cowboy coffee.
This is a subject worth videoing.
is there a link to the music your using?
It's actually from the free music provided by TH-cam for channel creators. Glad you like it and thanks for watching and commenting!
Love this channel. Maybe you’ve already discussed this issue before in other videos, but a warning to those thinking they can pop open a modern soup, vegetable or tuna can and whatnot and cook directly out of it… NEVER EVER cook out of a modern and newly opened can. They are lined with a plastic coating inside the can, to prevent the metal can from rusting. Cooking in the can melts plastic into your food. Always burn an empty can in the fire until it’s red hot fir a while. When cool, wash thoroughly and inspect fir residual plastic residue. All the charred black soot stuff may be plastic. If necessary, burn again in the hot coals and then repeat the washing process. Also, never cook out of an aluminum can. The heat will leach aluminum into,the food. Most cheaply made modern aluminum pots and pans these days made from cheap aluminum have other clad metals (usually steel) lined where food makes contact. Some feel that eating from heated aluminum is one contributor to Alzheimer’s disease or other nervous system illnesses. I’m not willing to take that chance. Clean steel or stainless steel is the safe bet when cooking food or boiling water.
Indeed. Thanks for watching.

@@tomcatt998 yes sir King of the Road.
Try slinging a bedroll over your shoulder with all of your survival goodies rolled inside instead.
Yes I have a staff but I use as it as a third legg to poke along ahead of me and for self defense.
That's what my great granddad taught me. That he did during that time.
There were no backpacks at that time. Or camping gear.
I need to make my own video of it.
Excellent. Make sure and send me a link to the video when you get it done!
That was a neat way to do a survival video, 5 stars
Thank you!
Your welcome
Does your school have a Hobo Course? If so, I’m in!
It doesn't but that's a cool idea!
A good use of the free copyright music available under licence to aid the Arts. i downloaded it on my files ages ago for use on my video`s. It sure takes lots of time sorting out free music that`s for sure, but is well worth it. There is a nice period feel to your video and i enjoyed it. During this troubled time, i hope you and yours stay safe and well. This has been 71 year old aged P...from the UK . BB
Thank you so much, my friend! That means a lot and giving it a period feel was definitely part of the reason that I made the video. So glad you enjoyed it! Stay safe and well.

Self isolated, true but i feel to be able to raise a pleasant smile in others is my way of survival. What a grand gift from God is our ability to do so, in spite of the Covid 19 odds. From the Evergreen Gardens of Fiddle Wood UK this has been 71 year old Aged P. BB
Thanks! I'll check it out!
👍
I've heard of the "Littlest Hobo", I'm guessing this must be the "Chubbiest Hobo"?
Think you're supposed to clear the ground before you start a fire so the undergrowth doesn't catch alight?
Everything was Green. Thank you for watching.
That's very cool!! The simple life and no Corona!!
Thank you!
No Heineken either.😢
❤
Thanks!
Knew a old boy from Joliet ILL james (shorty) presswood, traveled lite,, plastic tarp blanket gallon water jug small skillet hunting knife & whatever he could carry in his pocket's,,, i couldn't never travel that lite,, lightest i ever got my backpack was 20 pounds,, them old boys were TUFF....🏕
Absolutely! It's amazing what they got along without!
How did he carry his kit?
@@WayPointSurvival he rolled everything up in his blanket & tarp, except his water jug
That's excellent. Did he carry it with a rope through the middle of his blanket roll?
@@WayPointSurvival no,, he put the rope around the outside
Hopping a train is quite dangerous. I advise leaving it to the few remaining hobos who know what they are doing. Many bad things can happen to the unwary and/or unknowing.
That being said, thank you for this entertaining video.
Thank you for watching.
Do some more hobo videos!!
Thank you. I'll put some thought into it. And thank you for watching and commenting;
No problem man! keep making great content!
Did you watch my 1880's series?
Yes, you should also do some more of those.. they make me want to start practicing my woodsman skills more often 😂
Thank you!
I am a hobo of a different sort. I am a trucker.
Guess I have it easier.
But the same life with a steady paycheck.
In a few years I’ll retire the spend my time on the Appalachian trail.
Living the true life of a hobo or as they call them now hiker trash.
I suppose that makes the yuppie nimby’s feel better.
Sounds like an adventure!
Now I know backpacks and knapsacks were around back then. Why didn't they use them? They were cheap. Or why not make a soldiers roll? I liked the B&W format btw.
They did. I just happened to use the bindle as my choice for the video series.
@@WayPointSurvival oh. Ok. Ty. I've wondered that since I was kid.
Read through the comments on this video and I will point out as this is about survival!
Don’t walk in gage of the tracks ( on the ties between the rail) that is a good way to get killed, and I had relatives that road the rails depression era not all the stories were that romantic or glamorous,
Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!
GREAT JOB BROTHER THE HOBOS USED TO COME UP TO THE BACK DOOR AND WOULD WK FOR FOOD MY MA AND PA WOULD PUT THEM TO WK FOR A MEAL AND A PLACE TO SLEEP THE NEXT MORNING THEY WOULD BE GONE MY DAD FOUND A MARK ON THE FENCE POST IT WAS TO TELL OTHERS THAT THIS PLACE WAS COOL AND BE RESPECTFUL OF THE FOLKS THEY ALSO DID IT TO FOLKS WHO COULDN'T HELP THEM ALSO.

Thank you so much for the kind words and the sub. Much appreciated! May God bless you too!
Where's your can of Marjoram?
I forgot and left it in the last boxcar.... Thanks for watching!
💋
Thank you.
Have you ever actually flipped a freight? Would be glad to teach. Need to keep the tradition alive.
I haven't but would love to learn!
@@WayPointSurvival Well, I respect that. What town are you in?
Outside of Cincinnati, Ohio.
@@WayPointSurvival I subscribed to your page. Very nice. Just some info about me. I started riding back in 1986 at the age of 16. Why? I grew up near the tracks and learned to love the trains. At the age of five, I would hear the whistle and race to the tracks on my bike. There, I would almost always see men riding the freight cars. That was fascinating to me, and being young and impressionable, I decided I would try it. I haven't stopped. At least not completely. My wife prefers that I stay home. She hates me getting out there, but sometime I have the itch to go. So I do. I'm 50 now, and rode the freights hard in my younger days. Railroads are very corporate today unlike when I first started. This means security is always a concern. Riding freight is illegal. It can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, or are inebriated. Intoxication leading to accidents is the leading cause of death for freight riders. There are all types of people on the road today, but the numbers are greatly reduced. The main reason this is the case, I believe is that economic circumstances have been relatively favorable since WWII. This could change on a dime, as we may be experiencing now. Most riders today are young and rather feral. Many of these kids grew up in very sad circumstances. Abuse, neglect, drugs, you name it. I don't roll with most of them, as they are not worth trusting. If you decide to venture out there make sure that you trust implicitly the people you ride with, otherwise you may regret it. Again, there are many classes of people out there. I am of the old school. A Hobo works and wanders, a tramp dreams, drinks, and wanders (They hate work) and a bum won't work, won't travel. (Most of our homeless today are in the bum class) When I am out, I try to find work if I plan on being out a long time. Mostly carpentry or agricultural work. It can be a lifestyle and it can be addicting if your not careful. You have a lethal set of skills with bush-craft and survival. Combine this with freight riding and you would dominate the road. They say once you pee out of a boxcar you're hooked. I say either you will love it or hate it. If you love it, well, end of story. Hoboing has a rich tradition in this country. The Hoboes helped build the nation despite what the most people think. The lifestyle is achievable today, but many of the traditions were lost due to relative economic ease. I digress. You live in a railroad town. You have one of the largest classification yards in the country there. Let me know if you are serious about giving it a shot and I can teach you the ropes. I just don't want to be blamed if you go full time. ;)
Thank you for the offer. Even if I could do it just once it would be very cool. What part of the country are you in? Maybe after this virus runs it's course we could meet somewhere and plan an adventure.
could not have been to bad he had food...
The hobos did have canned or tinned food occasionally. They did however go for long stretches of time in between. The canned food bit was just to demonstrate a particular hobo method of cooking.
You gotta be real careful sleeping on those rail tie boards they are covered in a chemical and itll make your skin break out something fierce
It definitely pays to be well covered up with proper clothing.
Can't admire that fireplace; good way to start a wildfire. Fun vide tho.
Thank you, everything was green, this was filmed in the spring, so no fire danger from such a small fire. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching and commenting!
What forest fires are all about...
Actually, everything was green. I filmed this in March which in this part of Ohio is quite damp. However, because it's in black and white it looked like everything was straw colored and flammable.
I would say; very irresponsible building a fire in the middle of that dried out undergrowth!
It only looks dried out because of the lack of color. It was filmed in March. Thank you for watching and commenting!
If those aint BEENIE-WEENIES, then your doing it wrong.
Lol
@@WayPointSurvival 😁
wow amazing I didn't know that Hobos were such good survivors Godbless Hobos🥹❤️🙏🇵🇭
Yes, they were Urban survivalists long before it became popular.
