<i>"My ultimate hobo dream has been a suit, which is comfortable to wear at all times and which protects you from any kind of environment. You wont need a tent or a home."</i><p>One of my eternal pub discussions has been about an Urban Mobility Suit which looked like a business suit, but was actually designed for backcountry hiking. Plus a briefcase actually containing ultralight and compact camping gear. To really confuse people in the outdoors. Then as you overtake anyone on the trail, say things like "Excuse me, running late for my 10am."
I wouldn't call him a hobo in any way, but if you really like a calming way of wandering around North America, I recommend checking out: Foresty Forest YouTube channel.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@forestyforest">https://www.youtube.com/@forestyforest</a><p>He lives in a van with a dog. And he will summit random mountains across Canada, go on hikes, cook some food in his van. There is a weird comfort that I think might echo with people who have a fascination with nomadic lifestyle.
Sleeping bag kimono, tent that looks like a car (and is "parked" next to a real car). The Finns' subtle sense of humor always makes me smile. Totally love it. Warmest greetings from Estonia!<p>Also, look at the wear and tear of his HP100LX (main portable computer for 20 years). It's been a close relationship for sure: <a href="https://github.com/timonoko/HP100LX">https://github.com/timonoko/HP100LX</a><p>I think all this is also an expression of the Finnish "sisu", isn't it? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu</a>
50 years of Youtube is quite amazing. If I watch old video I can feel how I felt that day. That is why I dumped so much "unedited" shit to Youtube.<p>-- I am the biggest consumer of my own content.
The lisp stuff in the bio sounds interesting too (<a href="https://timonoko.github.io/Timo_Noko.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://timonoko.github.io/Timo_Noko.htm</a>)
The website hasn't had any updates in years, but Timo's YouTube channel is still alive and kicking:<p><a href="https://youtube.com/@TimoNoko">https://youtube.com/@TimoNoko</a>

Interesting page.. but some stuff is pure wtf material:<p>"Sol emits indeed Nukular Particles and solar panels thus have tendency to produce Nukular Energy, but the accumulation of these particles can be avoided by using "Green" batteries. NiMH-batteries are more "Green" than NiCd-batteries -- and usually labeled as such.."<p>Say what now?
