Timo Noko – The Professional Hobo (2016)(timonoko.github.io) |
One of my eternal pub discussions has been about an Urban Mobility Suit which looked like a business suit, but was actually designed for backcountry hiking. Plus a briefcase actually containing ultralight and compact camping gear. To really confuse people in the outdoors. Then as you overtake anyone on the trail, say things like "Excuse me, running late for my 10am."
It's called the "suitsy" and it's made by the SF clothing company beta brand:

Unfortunately Beta Brand doesn't make them anymore, maybe it's fortunate, I don't personally know of that were good or bad.

He lives in a van with a dog. And he will summit random mountains across Canada, go on hikes, cook some food in his van. There is a weird comfort that I think might echo with people who have a fascination with nomadic lifestyle.
I suggest to look up his trip up from Mexico, following the migrant route. For a different view of the same trip, his travelling companion (automous something) has his own channel.
RanOutOnARail isn't really a hobo though ... I think he's a software engineer in Texas somewhere.
Hobo Shoestring has an interesting channel also, albeit with a home base. You'll learn a lot about trains, and hobos' most hated adversaries, the 'homebums'. :D
And of course, there's a 10x hobo, in stobe-the-hobo (RIP), well worth watching all his videos.
Post10 [0] has a similar tone to his videos.

We're the Russos
Also, look at the wear and tear of his HP100LX (main portable computer for 20 years). It's been a close relationship for sure: https://github.com/timonoko/HP100LX
I think all this is also an expression of the Finnish "sisu", isn't it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu

I have a Intex inflatable kayak which is ok, but it uses a pump for inflation ad no way it'd carry a bike.

it's awesome is what this page is
"Sol emits indeed Nukular Particles and solar panels thus have tendency to produce Nukular Energy, but the accumulation of these particles can be avoided by using "Green" batteries. NiMH-batteries are more "Green" than NiCd-batteries -- and usually labeled as such.."
Say what now?
There are lots of millionaires which are not stereotypical rich people.
It's not a lot of money, but you could live off it if you were frugal.
The parent post was making distinction between rich/poor and nomad/hobo. I can't tell which this guy is and was asking for more background.
(Reminder that the median income in the US is $44k a year). So lots and lots of people make that work...
It's a pretty decent way to live in Belize or Costa Rica. Good luck in the UK. Germany, probably not, but Czech Republic may well be fine.
It depends on where you want to live. One of the factors which makes a huge difference is how old you are - the older you are the better healthcare you're going to need. Some of those low cost destinations don't have that great of healthcare - but some do!
