Hobos & Hard Times - Historic Train Station, Railroad, Coal Fire, Hobo Can Pot, Hobo Bindle

I have always been fascinated by the Hobo culture, especially during the years after the Civil War and on up through the Great Depression Era. In this video, I demonstrate the "Bindle" or Blanket Stick as well as trying to imitate a real Bindlestiff (Hobo). I also show an authentic hobo way to use a can as a pot. Please note that the can I use has already had the BPA plastic lining burned out. In the old days, tin cans did not have a plastic lining and you could open them up and simply warm them over a fire. Nowadays, you must burn out the lining first and this is why you see me using two cans in the video even though I'm officially only carrying one in my "Bindle".
