Guided Adventures | Freight Hopping
People sometimes message me and ask if I would meet up with them and take them freight hopping (because of the handful of freight videos I've made). I've always chuckled at these requests and given a polite "Nope" but now, as part of my new website, I am offering it as a guided adventure. *
Even though I have only done it a few times myself and I am in absolutely no way an expert of any sort I'll show you how to catch trains, hide on trains, get off trains and sleep in bushes near to trains. You can work out for yourself how to shit off the side of a speeding train. I don't need to get involved with that.
It'll be tough, rough, smelly, dirty, scary, frustrating, dangerous and potentially deadly. I will also be in no way responsible for you, especially if you happen to meet an untimely death and get turned into red pulp under the wheels of a 40,000 ton machine.
Sound good? Here are the terms and conditions:
• If you are maimed or killed, I was never there
• If you get caught and arrested, I disappear like a ghost
• If we're accosted by a gang and they want to stab us then we run like hell and it's every man for himself
• All money paid up front in full
• No refunds
Oh and you might have to pay for a lawyer to sort out my legal issues so that I can get in to North America in the first place. Thanks in advance.
* Not really.

You don't need to be particularly fit but it helps if you can run fast as there's a good chance you'll be chased at some point, either by a gang or the police.
Similarly, if you're fat then you're going to find it much more difficult to hide on and off of trains. The fitter you are, the better.
It will also be helpful to you if you have some experience of sleeping in bushes in clothes that you haven't washed for several weeks. Because that's what you'll be doing. A lot.

We'll be sleeping either in bushes near to freight lines (very loud, bring ear plugs) or on moving freight trains (very, very loud, bring ear plugs). To be honest though, overall we probably won't get very much sleep.
• A GoPro (for those sweet, sweet YouTube views)
• Two hats (in case you lose one over the side of a train in the Rockies)
• A toothbrush
• A scanner (useful for knowing when you've been spotted)
• A small guitar or banjo
• A dog (with a little red handkerchief tied around its neck)
