    My mom( who passed away at 98) was the youngest of 6 daughters, born during the great depression. Loved her stories on how they survived. But...one thing stood out. As poor as everyone was, men would hop off the train as it slowed down for a hill, and walk to their farm house. There was never any theft or violence. Men would ask for a days worth of work, in exchange for a meal, and permission to sleep the night in the barn. And then, they would hop the next train, and be gone. In the hot summers, everyone slept with open windows and a metal screen to keep bugs out.
    Totally different time.

      No disrespect intended to you or your mom, but if she was born in the Great Depression, then how could she have died a the age of 98? Even if she was born at the very beginning of the Depression, say 1930, 98 years from that would be 2028. We’re not there yet.

    Another great depression is what I fear the most. In the early 1980s we were in the height of the cold war and as a kid we feared WW3 with Soviet Union. I hadn't thought much about survival until this covid came out. Now the happenings are frightening so I'm back to prepping and more people better be thinking about it. Nice video as usual👍

Korea and Thailand. The Turkish Lyre has lost half its value in the last 3 months. The inflation is high world wide because US and other governments are doing so much "quantitative easing" in other words adding money to keep their economies from crashing.

I'd built homes for 30 years and would many times cook a can of soup, ravioli, or beef stew or whatever over scrap wood, and regardless what people say, I'm 60 years old now and still trompen through the woods. But I agree that newer cans should be burned out. God bless and keep up the good work. But I used a multi tool.

When he was 13; he decided to jump a train and take off and find out what it was like to live like a hobo... I remember him making one of these camping cookers on our camping adventures...

    I always enjoy your content and I recognize that soup and it ain't just "some kind of a gumbo". That is Campbell's Chunky Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. It is, without doubt, the tastiest, most filling soup in the entire Campbell line and is an incredible value. I recommend it to everyone that I meet when the discussion turns to easy camp meals or good prepping deals. This one and New England Clam Chowder should be on everyone's radar. Both of those soups come in a low sodium variety as well and they taste great too. Sorry, got a little excited there. Just really love this soup and never see it featured TH-cam.

    I really like seeing practical "can as cooker" videos and this one is actually one of the more basic versions of a "can as cooker". Always good to have options. Many people try to get by with a can opener on a knife or multitool, but a p-38 lasts forever (mine has been around for over 40 years and works just as well as when I acquired it). If you think you will be dealing with cans to open on a regular basis, I would highly advise a p-38 in your kit.

(well a home everything is just there at hand plus shelter and a bed, whereas a hobo is the opposite and adapts to location and situation.)

But she is still learning the importance behind knowing all these techniques. I raised my children's since they were in diapers going into the woods and surviving on minimal equipment so that if they ever found themselves in a situation they can find a way to drink and eat. But they both are still learning all the different techniques. I love this channel simply because compared to other's you don't waste time talking for 30 minutes to then just show us a 5 to 6 minute tutorial, you get right to the point with all the info needed and that's what sets you apart from other's in a great way imo.

    I absolutely love your hobo series. It's funny, the stuff that you show. I've worked on a carnival for over. 40 some years. and I always have a way to make stuff on the carnival. And people wonder how I do it. My dad's best friend was a hobo, and he used to stop by the farm. and work for a few months. He. taught me a lot of stuff. Thank you for sharing this info. I would love to do a hobo camp with you one day.

    In my 20’s I drove tractor trailers cross country. I had a cab over that had a front flap to check the radiator. An old trucker told me that I could place a can of soup (or whatever) inside the flap on the radiator, vent it and by the time I got to my destination I would have a hot meal. I did it several times. Worked just fine.

    Tip: Uncle Sams Special Forces way is take a can (sealed) and lay it longways, 1/2 way in length put a fairly deep dent in the can (like a judo chop), lay the can in the fire and when the dent pops back out as original the meal is done. Open the can and enjoy. Sticks aren't always around but I guess for Hobo's they were 😀

    Thanks for the way back in Hobo times. My father suffered real bad during the depression. I remember hitching around in the early sixties and encountering Hobo camps! I encountered on I remember over by when the grasses were high and the area was swampy by Newark airport. All thats gone now. Can not confuse hobo's with homelessness. Hobo is travelers.

      Indeed. They were an amazing lot of people back in the day. Very inventive and usually very polite. Most of them were traveling, working men who loved the freedom and lifestyle of the open road. Others were just seeking employment when the local economy went bad.

    We've doing that years. My grampa showed us that on the farm . He even showed us when your going to be driving somewhere you can put un opened cans on the motor and you open them up when you get to where your going but He also said to let it cool down a little sp the can doesn't explode when you start to open them .

    My family live near a rail road. Hobos would go to my moms house and see if they could earn something to get some food. My mom gave them a sandwich and told them to sleep in the hexagon building. 😂 They we’re appreciated it. ❤ !!! 🇵🇱🧸⛺️🛶🏳️‍🌈👩‍🍳🇺🇸

    I appreciate the hobo cooking can trick. I’m going to give you another hobo cooking can trick that I learned as a child. Take a can of food that you want to cook; Tear off the paper wrapping; Lay it on it’s side and hit it with the edge of your hand, putting a slight dent in the side of the can; Place the unopened can directly into the fire (it doesn’t matter if it is upright or not; watch the can; After a period of time, the small dent you placed in the side of the can will start to move to reduce the size of the dent; Watch the can more carefully; When the top and/or bottom lids of the can bulge out a little, take a stick and push the can out of the fire; Position the can upright and wait one minute; Take a can opener and open the can (you will notice that in its upright position, a very small amount of only air will spurt from the can as the can opener bites into the lid); The hot meal is now ready to eat right out of the can. You will note that the contents are evenly and well cooked throughout the can, with absolutely no burning. The sealed lid acted as a very low pressure “Pressure Cooker”. That’s because the contents of the can contained water, which restricted any and all parts of the inside of the can to only slightly exceeded 212 degrees Fahrenheit. And at that temperature, the lining of the can remained unaffected by the cooking process. I hope you find this trick interesting.

    We used tin cans to make hobo stew in when I was in the BSA over 50 years ago. We would take the awl on our Boy Scout knives and punch two holes in the top edge of the tin can. We would use a piece of bailing wire to make a handle for the can which we then hung over a camp fire. We would the put out meat and vegetables in the can and let them cook over the fire.

    I have encountered at least 40 homeless people in the woods in my life, and they are all different, but their camps are similar, they find a use for anything and everything. They are usually under a bridge for a roof, and near a river to fish.. All along the railway system I have found Hobo camps, some are just a pile of rocks under a bolder to keep the fire in..
    If the SHTF, Hobo's will just keep keeping on.

    When I used to camp, hunt and explore around the Cajon Pass area in CA which used to be a hobo jungle back in the day I would find a lot of hobo relics. I found several cans with the lids bent as such and wasn't sure why. Some the old solder type ones so apparently the hobos were getting their daily supplement of lead. Cool idea and beats waiting for a can to explode on you in a fire or spilling your chow fishing a hot can out by hand.
