John Hodgman’s Hobo Matters documentary

A brief and subjective history lesson of the hobos.

“When I first thought to hobo’in, hobo’in
I took a freight train to be my friend, oh Lord
You know I hobo’d, hobo’d, hobo’d, hobo’d
Hobo’d a long, long way from home, oh Lord”

- John Lee Hooker - 

I go out walking all day long,

Take away this lonely man soon he will be gone,

Cause I’ll tell you everything about living free,

HOBO’S LULLABY 
(Woody Guthrie)

Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by 
Listen to those steel rail hummin’ 
That’s a hobo’s lullaby

Do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go 
Tonight you’re in a nice warm boxcar 
Safe from all the wind and snow

I know the police cause you trouble 
They cause trouble everywhere 
But when you die and go to heaven 
You won’t find no policemen there

So go to sleep you weary hobo 
Let the towns drift slowly by 
Listen to those steel rail hummin’ 
That’s a hobo’s lullaby

1. Eat only known plant specimens like berries, nuts and fruit if foraging. This is not the time to test your wild mushroom knowledge.
2. Watch for signs of wildlife. If the animals eat it, it is probably safe for humans too.
3. Dig up the roots of edible plants like cattails, wild onions and carrots to eat raw or boiled in water. Gather worms and grubs for protein.
4. Maintain protein levels by capturing and eating available meat sources. Dig trap holes to catch rabbits or small mammals. Fish and snakes are also available sources of protein that require minimal hunting skill.

1. Remain dry to conserve body warmth. Do not intentionally get wet.
2. Avoid frostbite by staying out of the wind. Uncovered skin can become frostbitten in a matter of seconds under the right conditions. Wind is the biggest factor.
3. Stay out of direct sunlight and find shade where possible. Direct sun can cause heatstroke or result in dehydration.
4. Light a fire using one of several methods: matches or lighter if available, flint or other sharp edged rock and steel from a knife blade, or focus the sun through an eyeglass lens or found glass on tinder. Dead grass, birch bark and cattails make excellent fire starting materials.
5. Look for a cave or other natural weather shield to set up shelter. Check for other wildlife like bears, snakes or cougars before claiming the shelter.
6. Build a lean-to using evergreen branches leaned against a dead branch. Cover the tree branches with grasses, cattails or thatch to close the gaps in the roof of the lean-to. The goal is to keep the ground under the lean-to dry.
