Mark may have gone, but his memory will always live on in his videos...
RIP Mark.. Thanks for the memories and experiences.. .
Rest in Peace, Shoestring! 💕🙏🏻
I'll say it on every video of Mark's that pops up in my feed. We loved you Shoestring. You were old time tough.
Rest in peace, thank you for sharing your life with so many.
He doesn't have any time for ( RIP-ing) riding the rails across the never ending universe -!!!😉
im so upset about what happened having a hard time excepting this indeed a very special man who touched many hearts.
I learned this evening that your no longer with us. I really enjoyed following your CZcams page and all the features you have been on and shared with all of us. Every Time i logged in id check to see if you made another new video. I'm going miss that.. I'm sad inside. may we meet someday in the sky above, Good by Shoestring
Godspeed Hobo Shoestring, you were precious to thousands!!
RIP Shoestring. I hope you and Stobe are riding the rails in heaven!
NAW-!!! Heaven is the 1st box car stop. For an unending rail🚂 ride across the universe. 😉
I am really gonna miss you shoestring. Your videos brought the best real life adventure, few would ever dare be as brave as you. God Bless you
I put Mark's videos on for years when going on walks by myself or when just laying down to relax. He was just a calming individual. Ive been on youtube since the beginning and have seen dozens of my absolute favorite CZcamsrs pass. Its inevitable but still sad. I continue to watch the content of all my favorites even after they pass on to the next. I do not think that death of the body means death of the soul.
Found you at a rough spot in my life, your stories were oddly calming, rest in peace now. Safe travels
Glad to see you're carrying more than just a machete for protection bud! Good for you!!
I thought I was the only one who noticed
i noticed that as well.
Good for him!
turns a misdemeanor into a felony if you get caught with a gun on the rails
I wouldn’t do it without a little ✌️ on my side. For many reasons.
Here I am at home with the heat cranked up and making sure my sherpa blanket is wrapped around me for max comfort, while Shoestring is out there like this.
Respect.
Glad you prepared to protect yourself Mark.
Always wondered about that. Good to see!
best regards from a hobo from Germany. Stay strong Hobo Shoestring
You should post vids like Shoestring
Yes I have been waiting for a video from you. Going to be a good night tonight. Too cold outside 1 degree tonight in Fort Wayne Indiana. Stay safe and stay warm.
Gonna be 10 degrees here in Baltimore which is normal but it's been a couple years since we had a real winter
Going to be 95 f today in Minyip Victoria Australia today. I grew up in Michigan I sure miss the snow. Christmas is still weird sweating, wearing shorts and a t-shirt trying to stay in the A/C. Been almost 20 years here now.
I’m close by in New Haven, Indiana! Shoestring videos are always cool too watch!
@@paulredinger5830 WOW CRAZY. We literally just got snow last night into this morning. Wind chills -10-20 below. Your not missing much. Lol
@@paulredinger5830😬👍
Love the fur hat......comes in handy for lot's of things. WOW you're carrying a heavy load.
Fur hat looks very safe. Good protection.
Packing heavy and packing heat! I like it 😂
I think everyone should have a safe hat like that.@@georgecormier601
Hey buddy where are you at
Looks like the heat is all in the hat
This SOB is a legend. God bless him.
Stealth shadow people!😂😂😂😝
@@lemanski40😊
OH SHOESTRING,
Rest in peace.
I will miss ur stories.
i sort of stumbled across your CZcams channel it made me remember some stories my dad told me about him riding the rails when he was in his teens with a couple of his friends, I'm 68 years old now, so that was a while back. He was 17 when he hoped a train in Iowa and started his way to the west coast to join the Merchant Marines. My dad had adventure after adventure during his life. He wasn't afraid of anything. I hope to see more of your videos.
It's been a good ride. Be careful on your next next adventure. RIP.
LOVE THIS MAN R.I.P.. GOOD MAN GONE
Hobo is a very intelligent guy! I enjoy listening to him spout off facts and figures.
Ride on and rest easy old friend. We sure miss you.
stay warm Shoestring, glad to hear you making a recovery 🙏🙏
God Bless you Shoestring
Those 2 hanks of cord are to lift the bug net off of you. There are some loops on the bug net to run them though. If you don't need the bug net flip your hammock up side down and ii wont hes with you. A goo trick is to flip the hammock up side down and slip your pad between the bug net and the top of the Hammock. Welcome to to the hammock fraternity . :)
Great advice. He’d likely be warmer if he could create an underlayment underneath with the sleeping bag as well. Ive used those light weight silver emergency blankets in a pinch as well top and bottom.
Rest Easy, Mr. ShoeString , we will miss Ya here on earth , see ya on the other side !!
Hammocks are the way to go! Going to miss you Brother
Camping by the railroad tracks is a dream come true. My friend Shoestring you are ready to travel on rail. Happy, Thanks!! ⭐
I remember seeing him post this but didn't have time to watch it. If I am remembering correctly, this was THE weekend that it got SOOOOO cold everywhere for the most part LOL I am in Southeastern Kentucky. I'm about 45 minutes from Tennessee state line. I think we were snowed under this weekend, and it got like wind chill 10 below with temp 4 below. I had my heat on high, sitting in my house and I damn near froze to de@th!!! And this nut was outside!!!??? LOL I actually remember thinking I bet he's not riding trains this weekend as cold as it was. But I guess he was. Going to miss his videos. I used to look forward to him posting. RIP Mark
Never forget! RIP Mark.
Greetings Hobo Shoestring! it is so good to see you camping out, and in a nice little cedar grove in the snow. Your Ghillie suit is superb camo, especially with a few random local leaves stuck to it. Makes me wonder how many guys are running around in those out in the woods...and and no one the wiser! I liked the footage of the train passing in the dark, your headlamp illuminating the reflectors on the cars, the snow falling in giant flakes! Trains look magical at night. I like the way it feels when a train passes, and you are standing under an overpass, where the sound waves are really concentrated. You can feel the power of the engines vibrate your bones. G-d bless you, I hope you have another wonderful rail experience! :D
Always out on the rails. Love these videos. Hope you are taking care of yourself shoe!
I'm glad that you got over your latest round of health issues. I now know what that's all about, I got diagnosed with cancer back in June and between the constant blood lab draws, CAT Scans, MRIs and PET Scans, rounds of chemo and the things that the chemo did to me, its been a rough seven months now. I'm done with chemo for now but now I'm starting radiation treatments. I've moved into an assisted living place and it seems thst about all I do is sleep most of the time. I'm glad to see that you are now in good enough condition to getting back out on the rails. For me, I'm just hoping I can get out in the boat again to fish and do some boat camping this year. I hope that it wasn't too cold for you during this winter storm this past week. Be safe and may God protect you Shoestring! Take care!
Good luck mate hope you recover and go fishin again
God bless you
With that ghillie suit on, people are going to mistake you for Sasquatch
Blessed 2024 to you, Shoe! We love you, brother!
Good to see you again. Stay safe and warm. Congratulations on all your medical. Ol' man, winter can't keep Shoestring indoors, nothing can lol 😊
Woo-Hoo!!! Mark on the Move! Glad to see you back out on the rails, Brother Shoestring. And loving the Gillie suit. The VA just ran me through about a good 60 days of various appointments so I feel ya. Stay warm and stay safe out there! Here's to a great 2024! -Sarge
Great 2024?
Shoestring, I just wanted to see you out doung what yiu loved. We are all oraying for you, searching for you and we all want you safely home. Godspeed my friend..
I’m not this tough. Miss you Mark.😢
Winter Storm Ride. It's a freakin movie Shoe. The badassness is over the top. Thanks for letting me ride along.
Glad you are looking good and out enjoying the rails,keep warm buddy.
Seems like the light isn't as visible anymore, I keep his videos and memories alive by watching all his videos from beginning end.
Lots of great gear Shoestring! Stay safe and warm out there!👍
Looks like this is an Executive Hammock with a built-in Recliner. 😬 Keep it Safe in this Winter 🥶 Weather, Mark. 😬👍🙏.
Hey there ShoeString Welcome Back! I missed your videos! You sound Great &I’m so excited to see all your train adventures! Just be safe & warm! Welcome back again! ❤❤
Hard to believe you're not out there somewhere ridin' the rails.
So glad to hear your numbers are improving. Stay strong & stay free, brother.
1974 Fort Dix alumni here. Rest In Peace my Brother.
Your beard is getting white. Soon you’ll be just like the rest of us. Enjoy your stories. You should write a book with everything you’ve experienced. As far as the singing, “ Shoestring “ keep your day job. 😂 Thanks for sharing.
Happy trails. I saw his logo at Morehead City NC near the shipyard turning basin just last year.
Good to see you packing some protection! Be safe and stay warm!
noticed that too, wonder how much trouble he can get in if he gets caught?
@@Savage.Doomer Gun + railroad property = Free roof over your head + paid meals
Hopefully he has it on him and not in the bucket if he needs it immediately to protect himself.
Now that suit will make for a real cool Big Foot siting..🤣
Rest in peace mark 🙏
Great to see you back again. Stay safe, brother.
Very sad to hear he passed away. Rest in Peace sir.
thats a good hammock! i dont know the brand but i recognize it as the one i got my son a few YEARS ago... 2020 i think. He put it up in the backyard between two mulberry trees and never took it down. it's still holding up strong. only issue at all is the fly net... sometimes, when not in use, a bumble bee would get wound up in it and chew its way out.
they aren't supposed to be left out in the elements like this because of obvious reasons, but i gotta say i'm impressed with the durability.
😥 Bye mark thanks for the journeys !
SS Video makes for a fantastic Friday! Safe travels brother! Stay warm out there!
That’s the safest hat ever😂
LoloL... I got my fur hat lololol.. mmmhmmm I saw that .. Glad to see you back ..
I love you Uncle! I call you Uncle because you inspired my friend Troy and Troy is like a brother to me. And you are wise like a daddy should be.
First time commenter long time subscriber, thanks so much for all the great videos over the years Shoestring.
GOOD TO SEE YA BACK SHOE STRING🤘🤘💯
You are loved and missed more than you know
Good to see ya making full videos again stay safe out there brother 💪🤘
Hi Shoestring! I am so glad to see you back out and riding again. I hope you had a nice holiday season and that you're feeling good. I sent you a few small things (travel utensils and some magnifying LED glasses) to aid you in your travels. Stay safe and warm. Thank you for taking us a long on all your adventures!
Be careful out there on your travels Mark,you are loved!
I once slept in a hammock at the lake, and in the middle of the night I was awakened by what sounded like human foot steps that kept getting closer and closer. Being pitch dark I couldn't see anything. When whatever it was that finally approached me, it just stopped like it was just standing there.
I thought it best to just lay still and not draw attention because it was a pain in the butt to try to get out of that hammock real fast to confront what ever it was (hammock was a zipped in with top). Finally whatever it was just walked away. I went back and slept in the car with the doors locked the rest of the night. 😉😉
Bigfoot
Whatever it was I heard dogs barking earlier like they were following it coming down the road, so think nothing of it I went back to sleep only to be awakened later with those foot steps. @@edwardsharpe6234
If you were in the up of Michigan in a summertime most likely it was dog man
Sounds like something Les Stroud said once while camping with his wife
A Bogart or Boogin (as I was told they are called in Dorset) was trouping. I take it the thing felt scary. It was brave that you stayed, but wise that you got in the car. Sometimes I think these beings that approach and give us a bit of a weird turn are saying: "see 'ere. We're about our business tonight and see you stay well out of our way'! And if you do so, no harm comes to you.
Damn Bo, saw this pop up with my glasses off and thought doggone Sasquatch looks like shoestring!
Appreciate you Bo.
It is good to see you out and traveling again!
Hope you're doing good and safe, brother.
Love all the videos and content you provide us.
🙏
Hi, Shoestring!!! And Happy 2024!!! I just saw this video of a camper using a hammock and attaching a sleeping bag over it. Really clever and another layer of warmth! Stay safe out there, young man. I wish ya all the best!!! 😊
Brother, glad to see that you are back where you are most comfortable. You are looking strong as ever and you can hear the excitement in your voice. looking forward to seeing the next video, be safe, stay warm and remember, "Drink Water"

Hobo, thanks for showing me what a gilley suit is, I've heard a lot of people talk about it, this is the first time I've seen one and you're wearing it. You're an inspiration to me, I really enjoy your zest for life! Be careful out there and stay warm and safe shoestring!
Happy New Year String! Safe travels.
#friendsofshoestring He lives on with each of us

Always great to see you Shoestring and I’m gonna check out getting a cookbook soon 👍Stay safe and keep warm ✌️from Hamilton Ohio
Love you , your channel and your videos man stay warm, stay safe , and have a good ride !!
Now,👞 every time I tie my shoes, I think of Shoestring...
I put together a gear bucket... RIP Shoestring. 😔😪🚂
Shoestring. I have really enjoyed watching your videos recently. I am a 3rd generation railroader and attorney representing railroad employees for years. I worked as a RR locomotive machinist for 10 yrs and am a certified conductor and engineer. I have handled cases ranging from trespasser cases to RR employee injuries and labor disputes always on behalf of the workers. I’ve ridden many locomotives and trains both as an employee and attorney it would be great to say hello sometimes. Good luck and thank you.
So
Hey mate stay safe thanks for making the effort for us and glad you are getting better
My son does survival camps once a year for scouts. He uses a tarp between two trees as his shelter. I had him take a couple ratchet straps to go between the trees and hang the tarp over..
Make my day. Thanks String
Sir I will always be here waiting for you. Until we can meet and go for a ride Stay Safe
Good to read/hear/see your post .... from the UK
