- presented is essential gear for traveling by freight. this information is based from personal experience and tips I learned from david who introduced me to this form of hard traveling. be safe.
Beggining: Basically tells you not to train hop
Next clip: "here's how to train hop"
Keeping a tiny red led button battery light saves your night vision.
@@TheHempHub HE is correct learned this in the Army, the small red light will not effect how you see in the dark like white light. Try it.
Outdated. You can get a regular red flashlight or a multi mode one with additional red light. No one uses button cells anymore.
A small backpack could hold all that plus some food, soap, wash cloth, maps, shaving razor.
But he doesn’t need all that for a weekend trip
good info
SHIT Stobe is here
mobster bud damn RIP

Wish you would have used a fanny pack rip stobe
From someone who rode for years:
-Arizona tea jugs are among THE ABSOLUTE WORST containers to carry water in! They are NOT BPA-free, and the handle can be VERY uncomfortable to grip. It is positioned at a VERY uncomfortable angle to be carrying for any length of time. Lastly, this rigid type of plastic gets VERY brittle from sun exposure and will split and shatter if bumped or dropped! The last thing you want on a hop is to lose your water after hiking to the hopout, or after tossing your gear onto or off of a train, or any time at all for that matter. Don't be lazy, and go find yourself a BPA-free jug that is NOT rigid. Many grocery stores and pharmacies carry BPA-free gallons. They may cost more, but you have WAY less of a risk losing your precious water in the desert. The best option would be to find single-wall stainless steel canteens with a wide mouth. They don't insulate, but they are way tougher than plastic. They will last many reuses without affecting water taste. You can boil water in them if you want to either cook or just boil drinking water. They are way lighter weight than double-walled insulated canteens.
-take a small daypack rather than a fannypack. Even a standard bookbag if you're into blending in with society when you get to town. Basic JanSport and L.L. Bean packs should be tough enough and come in darker colors. If the weather and your body temperature are hot enough to NOT carry a sleeping bag, you're not going to want to hike around with an insulated jacket around your waste lol That's so irritating just thinking about. The jacket around the waste will definitely act as a butt flap, though, in order to protect the seat of your pants from tears and chemicals, etc. Ideally, I would say the best all-around bugout pack would be the Dragon Egg, made by Direct Action. It IS a tactical style pack, but I believe you can get it in solid black if you are avoiding the camo colors in order to blend in when the sun's up.It isn't that typical square, blocky, inefficient, non-durable design that most tac companies butcher.
-Back to the water jug thing... You can ground score some tow strap or ratchet strap webbing... Get a pack of good tough sewing needles and waxed dental floss... Use the floss as thread and stitch yourself up a water jug carrier. They will last forever and save you from having water jug handle failures. Also, while riding a suicide bucket or underneith a piggyback, you can hang/suspend the jug by the carrier and prevent the jug from wearing through due to vibrations and sliding around, etc., or even from sliding/rolling off the train.
I just wear a wife beater, flip flops and cargo shorts.
Bro wut
@@dancer1 he means a belt
that is how the great ones do it
Makesure the knife has a can opener on it, spoon isn't really needed you can just use your hands, Don't carry any bills larger than a $50 since a lot of places refuse large bills especially late at night.
A battery booster for your phone is helpful, since you might be stuck away from a charger for a long time n that could be your only way to get help
If you do have a pack, a tarp in it is going to be a life saver if you're stuck riding a train for hours in the rain and wind
Yeah, a spoon takes up way too much space. Eating with your hands is better.
P40 is awesome and there cheap
and a toothbrush, how do you do that
How about a 45 Cal.?
Trespassing with a deadly weapon 😬
stupid asl. ur gna get in so much more trouble in ur caught with a gun
Good taste on Gear! Arcteryx works great for me on the Trail or the Rails!
Loved both pixels!
Yo, pretty decent set up. I always used a tactical vest for all my extras. I rode from '98 till '08. Pretty steadily jungled up. No phones.... Ha ha. I had a scanner with all road frequencies programmed. Been thinking of taking a trip this summer. Probably Portland to Cheyenne or Roseville. Those lines still easy rides? Anyone know?
oHAWKWINDo Portland to roseville should be good keep ur head down in K falls. Also idk if youve heard the horror stories of officer Flood in rose but he sucks. But once you get outta there it's too easy. I would say avoid rose all together and hop east outta portola via the feather river route. It rejoins the sunset in winnemucca NV.
@@seancoolie01 met the fucker split my head then called the cops
tony gilbert what? You met officer flood?
I've had more issues going through Pocatello than south through K-Falls. I've heard of a lot of people getting pulled off in K-Falls, but I never had an issue. Flood is gone, btw. FUCK that fucker
Saw your tag today at the hobo camp by the Cienega bridge in Tucson. Hope things are going well. -Railfan
very useful, thanks man!
this is good because ya know i mean ya got to have it ...classic 9:51
Also any vids for a longterm hop
im no stranger to train riding ive kinda done it before but never attempting to get to a destination how do you go about that if your trying to get to a specific place cause theres never any way of knowing where the train stops
that's the fun of trainhopping , not knowing where you'll end up. You can get a good idea though on Open Railway Map.this shows all the tracks and there speeds in certain zones.
Well, you SOUND like a STRANGER . Especially to trainhopping.
Nope Grigsby you jump my friend XD
Chris Hershey what map?
There are plenty of ways to figure out where the trains stop... But if you're not out there figuring it out, you probably never will... officer 🐖
well now I know were you hide your money.
Where u reside?
You forgot the crack, rubbers and beer
Where u go hopping?
You gotta link for that headlamp?
I use a 2 liter bottle of water then sleepijg bag in my back pack extra pants shorts and socks shirt back back also is a pillow
Great
Hey brother how do you get maps and where can you find a scanner I'm gonna be homeless soon and I need to get to California
hows it goin?
@@Thrillowatt I made it to Cali got lost twice but I made it
@@yakamarezlifegilbert nice job dude. I'm glad you made it. keep strong. what are your plans for cali? gonna get a job maybe?
@@Thrillowatt already got one I'm picking grapes in a vinyard I'll be here till September then Ive got a job lined up in New Mexico
Gilbert nice dude
Have some small bills on you. If you get robbed you will want to be able to hand over a small amount of money and also you can't always break or pay with a 100 dollar bill, such as if you need a drink or small purchase.
better yet carry an extra small wallet with a little cash so if you get mugged you give them the phony and you keep your money.
what brand head lamp is that?
Not sure what kind that one is but I would highly recommend a Petzl Tikka XP. All though it starts off on the high setting and takes 3 aaa batteries, it does last a long time and able to last many nights. Also has different color lenses for night time! Another amazing flashlight is a Nebo Redline, small compact and has a powerful light. Plus the adjustable focus from spot light to flood light and magnetic base is nice. And it fits in your palm!
Something could go fatally wrong if you hop the train!
Sad if stobe would have listen to this guy an kept a lighter bag maybe this tragedy wouldn’t of happened
and I have told him many times before frame packs are death trap's
I wish he would have ditched his pack. He would have struggled the rest of the trip but he would still be with us. RIP Stobe.
who is Stobe?
Andrew Allen you don’t know who stone is
He should not have tried to cross a bridge like he did on foot.
Making a video like this is exactly what riding a train is not about.
Dude if people don't know what to bring how the hell are they gonna know how to hop on off and everything else. No offense to you of course but it's not an adventure until you learn how. This is a good intended advice video but ehh
i guess making sure you wont miss anything?
Where go you carry your gun?
Stop saying "ah,ah,ah". I will not subscribe for that reasson.
Oh boo hoo Steve I’m sure June bug is crying over that.
What kind of gloves are those?
I use a 2 liter bottle of water then sleepijg bag in my back pack extra pants shorts and socks shirt back back also is a pillow
