there is a documentary about all of this call catching out. it follows 4 different people/couples that hop trains and go all across the country. one guy had a treehouse or hut of some sort that was surprisingly worthy of living. he was also missing his eyebrows.
definitley a few stupid dirty hippies spouting shit in the film but for the most part interesting peoples that happen to like hoboing. also there would annual hobo parades/conventions(sort of) in some cities and it seems there is a rivalry between the old hobos and the new hobos. ol uncle john hates filthy hippy steve.
