Adventure starts…

[FerlasDave]

YouTube recommended this video to me this morning. I enjoyed it, and I’ve thought about this concept myself in the past. It might be fun to have a go at this next summer, I got to thinking about directions and equipment. So what would you do? Where would you go? And what would you take?

It's an interesting idea, but there is a potential to irritate others too; I guess that's down to us having a pretty dense population...

As for what to take, a poncho / basha or waterproofs, bivvy bag, doss bag, steel mug, WB and some cash.

He seems to run into this problem pretty easily. Which does prove your point, I guess he’s hoping people are generally more hospitable than hostile. I guess we will see.

I dont think he knows too much about the countryside.

I think it would be fun to go proper hobo, with realy old fashoned and home made kit.

 

[Tengu]

Yes, but the old hands knew what they were doing.

You’d learn fast enough if you were given the opportunity. One of the troubles is that you’d have to learn urban tramping as well, which I guess is a relatively modern skill.

Oh you’ve got to move fast to keep up with the times,
For these days a man cannot daunder.
There’s a bylaw to say you must be on your way,
And another that says you can’t wander.

I know I’ve recommended this book before but it’s well worth repeating in this context.

The Gentle Art of Tramping by Stephen Graham (1926?)

I enjoyed that so watched one, then another of his other vids..

Which I thought was amazing but not entirely sure I approve of the "no damage" that's caused to fences & hedges......

Which led to this~ swear wording heck!
Hats off to one of theses lads despite the same fence/hedge stuff.
It's not what it first appears.......

Edit- sorry for them being off-topic.

I did flick through a few of his others, and whilst I think there are some questionable legalities for the most part, I think he’s due some credit for tenacity at least. It’s amazing how dangerous a little bit of knowledge can be!

Have you had a look at WayPoint Survival on YouTube? He does a lot of hobo content.

Part two.

 

[FerlasDave]

Just got round to watching part two. I enjoyed these episodes although I don’t agree with some of his decisions. Definitely going to have to try something similar come the summer, I’ll take a few more useful bits with me though.

He’s done another series. Well, actually I think this could be the third or fourth time he’s done it but this one I like the best so far…

It's a bit odd... I've only watched the first few minutes but...

He claims that he's setting off into an "Austrian wilderness" without speaking the local language and with only €10 in his pocket... but if it's the wilderness then he won't be bumping into many people that he needs to talk to and he won't be going into shops to buy things, so both the language and the money are moot points.
