Discover the forgotten power of the Hobo Belt—a rugged, 1930s-era type strap that served as a shelter builder, gear hanger, razor strop, and more for America’s traveling hoboes. In this video I field-test the belt’s top survival uses: lashing a pole for a lean-to, suspending your gear, and keeping your edge keen in camp. You’ll see how its stout leather and classic hardware outperform many modern bushcraft belts. I also reveal a hidden feature at the end that turns this simple belt into a true multi-tool for hobo living—don’t miss it! Whether you’re into Great Depression history, bushcraft gear reviews, or DIY backcountry hacks, this demonstration packs in plenty of tips you can try on your next trip. Stick around for the secret and let me know in the comments how you’d use a Hobo Belt. If you enjoy historical survival content, hit ? LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for weekly videos from WayPoint Survival.
