Hobos were an interesting part of American society. Starting in the 1870's up until the 1950's there was a real subculture of migrant workers, tramps and bums who rode the rails for varied reasons. Even today there are many who still strive to live the carefree, frugal life of the hobo. These videos demonstrate some of the techniques of the hobo as well as some modern takes on how a hobo could live today, including some of his tools and eating ware. Enjoy!
