Hobo

Hobos are helpful and wise. Hobos have a loose network of friends that they run into randomly. Nothing beats a party that ensues from the random meeting of two hobo friends. The meeting is rich with stories, genuine respect, as well as opportunities to learn about potential jobs, hazards and boons that may help the hobos in their journeys forward. Hobos don't ask for help and they don't ask for recognition. Hobos happen because of the open society that North America offers. Things like hitchhiking, camping in bush lines, and hiring hobos for odd jobs or short contract work should be protected in order to preserve this special group of freebooters who love the land and all it has to offer.

I first got the idea to hobo after reading the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Since I started being a hobo I have seen many parts of this country and have many jobs that I can work seasonally when it suits me.

Hobo Spike

An approximately 2' long piece of metal/spike, which hobos use to pry open a freight-train boxcar so that they can "hop a train" (i.e. illegally ride a freight-train to the hobo's destination).

Sammy's hobo spike not only opens boxcar doors, it also opens cans of beans and cans of beer!
