Hobo Shoestring has passed

Hobo Shoestring had 200,000 Youtube subscribers.  📷       While he enjoyed the hobo life I saw nothing in his videos that would make me want to get my nap sack and sleeping roll and grab a ride in the next passing hopper.  However watching his videos was a variation of the Railfan videos and he had some genuine railroad knowledge and was a railfan himself.  He even had a key so he could ride in a DPU.   I saw a video a week and a half ago from one of his friends asking people to look for him.  All his road gear was still in his apartment.    From what he said in his videos, I believe he had  liver failure.   His body was found in a local lake.  I was surprised he was only 53.     https://www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-news/hobo-shoestring-dies-missing-tennessee-youtuber-mark-nichols-found-dead-in-boone-lake-johnson-city-article-109078763 ,
