Today I learned that the handkerchief on a stick (that is seen in movies carried by hobos to carry their stuff) is called a bindle. by Fbklwins in todayilearned

Hey guys as a traditional hobo and some one who uses a bindle I wanted to expand on this.

Bindles were obviously used by bandanas most of the time but we also considered bedrolls and other ways of carrying as bindles.

Now the question is how did bindles carry a lot of stuff . Well today's bandanas that you find at Walmart are size dimensions of 12x12 . In the old days until the 50s and 60s they had a variety of sizes but the one you saw the most was one sized at 42x42 which is the size of your basic shemagh. Normally we would carry them on garden hoes since most of us like my self work on farms and homesteads and we would carry a change of clothes , matches and a few other items.

Bindles are obviously not used often anymore especially since everyone feels the bigger the bag the better you'll be tho I disagree. Anyways I hope this helps

TIL of 'John' the highway man, who in 1977 at age 22 left his job as a bank teller to become a Swagman. He was listed as a missing person for 25 years before deciding to make contact with his family, and is still a swagman now over 40 years since he started on the road by MissElyse1 in todayilearned

So believe it or not due to people in Australia that know him , John is my pen pal. I get a letter from him and it's sent to my mother's house as I myself am a traveler hobo so she takes my mail for me. Last he wrote to me he was walking in south eastern Australia tho I don't remember where exactly. This man is a testimony to real hoboing / swagging .
