Timo Noko – The Professional Hobo (2016)

<i>&quot;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.&quot;</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 &quot;Excuse me, running late for my 10am.&quot;

I wouldn&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;@forestyforest">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;@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 &quot;parked&quot; next to a real car). The Finns&#x27; 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&#x27;s been a close relationship for sure: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;timonoko&#x2F;HP100LX">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;timonoko&#x2F;HP100LX</a><p>I think all this is also an expression of the Finnish &quot;sisu&quot;, isn&#x27;t it? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Sisu" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Sisu</a>

If you are rich you are the Nomad, if you are broke you are a hobo.

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 &quot;unedited&quot; shit to Youtube.<p>-- I am the biggest consumer of my own content.

It says on his bio page that he was &quot;blacklisted&quot; from working. Does anyone know what exactly he&#x27;s talking about there?

The lisp stuff in the bio sounds interesting too (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;timonoko.github.io&#x2F;Timo_Noko.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;timonoko.github.io&#x2F;Timo_Noko.htm</a>)

The website hasn&#x27;t had any updates in years, but Timo&#x27;s YouTube channel is still alive and kicking:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;@TimoNoko">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;@TimoNoko</a>

I keep seeing foldable kayaks around - what a small world it is to think this guy has a part to that!

This guy puts MacGyver to shame.

According to [0], he&#x27;s now 70 years old.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;timonoko.github.io&#x2F;curricu&#x2F;IRTISANO.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;timonoko.github.io&#x2F;curricu&#x2F;IRTISANO.jpg</a>

Can someone elaborate on what this is?

Interesting page.. but some stuff is pure wtf material:<p>&quot;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 &quot;Green&quot; batteries. NiMH-batteries are more &quot;Green&quot; than NiCd-batteries -- and usually labeled as such..&quot;<p>Say what now?
