      50 of 74 years a hobo. Priceless info on old time camping, also could be used even today. I have seen a few of those sewing kits but empty and no thread. So now i know what they were for. The raincoat/long coat idea is good also. I used a 3/4 length army surplus field jacket, which is fairly easy to get, a number of times. Carrying field rations like you showed is very smart and can still be done today. The gunny sack converted into a ruck sack is great also. I would sometimes use a pair of pants as a pack frame of sorts. You may have shown this in one of your videos. Anyway i would put the small stuff in the pant legs and tie the cuff area together with a shoe string to a belt loop. A tarp wrapped around a sleeping bag stuffed in the waist area to top it off.

      I love your channel particularly about travel food not requiring refrigeration. I never thought about pre cooking bacon ... now that I think of it I can buy bacon bits at the store so it seems cooked bacon may last a long time? If you have more videos on this I would be particularly interested. Also why was corduroy popular rather than wool? Thank you and God bless you and all :)

      Just curious about something…… i dont recall in any of your kits any sort of games or entertainment being carried…. Speaking as a former soldier, from a long line of veterans, a deck of cards, cribbage board, dice, checkers, etc would be common …. I would think hobos would want to have something similar to amuse themselves and pass the time

      Yep sadly I was kicked out of the boy scouts for being to rugged. For one of things thy scout master did was show us how to turn our fixed blades into a spear. But I sharpened an oak stick about 5 to 6 feet long and was about 2 inch thick. Started a fire now I don't know the science behind it but if done right. You can harden the wood to make it harder then it was just by heating it. The scout master got mad casue I was suppose to use my knife as the blade. My thought if i only had my knife that's a good way to loss it. But guess who's spear was not only sharper but went deeper into the target. I even did that trick when we did bows and arrows which was when I was kicked out for I was making legit weapons that could and would do damage. Which to me was ok life or death I wana eat not be eaten

The baggy legs on our pants would rub together making a whistling sound. Consequently, we called them "Whistle Britches!" Thank you, & may God continuento bless you!

    I like your videos. You remind your viewers how skilfully people used to manage their very limited resources. By the start of the Great Depression in 1929 at the latest, men had to leave their homes to find work somewhere else. Their journeys were anything but comfortable and the gunny sack is what you used if you couldn't afford a proper rucksack. Similar to the Hobo Horseshoe. Simple, efficient and reduced to the essentials. And you threw little to nothing away. Every tea tin could still be used to store things afterwards. And tea could be bought unpackaged, so it was cheaper. You just had to bring your own storage, in this case a small leather bag.
    We can learn a lot from this time. Mainly that there are only a few things that we really need. Whenever I pack my rucksack for a hike with my family, I think of your videos.

Oil lantern , even the tins and their content . I have been using it for 16 years now . The similarities are amazing , you would love to see it . The more I learn about camping the more that I see that things have really remained the same . This is ,,, well uncanny , just think , it is aproximately 100 years from my living history kit to your kit . You made my day thank you .

    Let’s all hit pause and consider how many pockets a man dressed for winter/fall might wear and have available for survival necessities. Were he to keep one tool and one form of calories in each pocket he could potentially bear 20+ items and several thousand calories. Remember folks, pockets were built for utility back then. Some coat pockets and even trouser pockets were the size of small haversacks and double or triple stitched. Even the fedora or pork pie hat might carry an extra bandanna and a few matches or fish hooks in the band.

    Your "Gunny Sack" looks more like a flour sack. Gunny Sacks, Tow Sacks, etc, are typically crudity woven burlap. Back in my younger days they were used for potatoes, in my neck of the woods. The used ones could be gotten for free. Hard to find now, but you can pay Amazon for them. 😀 I enjoy your retro videos, both this and the Hobo series . The frontier videos are great, as well. Keep up the good work!

    My parents comes from a small town in Macedonia named Berovo. You can look it up. They came to South Carolina as newly married couple, however I've been here 44 of my 44 years. He loves your channel and wanted me to relay the message that he especially likes the HOBO videos. He tells me that was him as a young man. I'm just passing the word from my old man. God bless you, and we all wish you safe travels and blessings wherever you may go. (Your videos make the old man happy). He tells me that kids like me, I'm 44! Have it easy. He says he grew up much like the classic American Hobo you reflect upon in your videos because he was a wanderer when he was a young man in Macedonia. Safe travels brother. Peace and love. 😊

    Pretty cool set up. One of the first things you mentioned is back in the day this would be a fairly inexpensive load out. But with such authentic period pieces now a days I can only imagine how much you might tie up into your kit, I'd expect a lot of what you have in your back would I let be found in an antique shop. Very sweet video, thanks for sharing! Happy trails

    I really do appreciate the content of your videos. Many are similar in what might have been worn and carried back in the day, but it's good to see different ideas about what can be packed into the smallest containers for best use of space. And I always pick up new tips. I'm going to look for leather belts at the thrift store, and upcycle a vest to add more pockets.
    I started watching your channel after seeing the video of how to make acorns edible 😂. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

    Back in about 1967 my friend and I worked for s shop that was an antique/junk shop. We were only about 13 years old. I specifically remember the shop having one of those "dark lanterns" for sale. I thought it was so cool looking.......but couldn't afford to buy it. I haven't thought about that lantern in decades. I specifically remember how thick and curved the glass lens was.
