thank you for helping we all watch him on youtube

A lot of us live vicariously through Shoestring, and the freedom he represents is very important for people to witness. Thanks for contributing to his safe return home.

Big Love From Virginia 🙏 Mile Marker 91 along the James River 🙏🇺🇲 Jesus Saves 🔥

Thanks for putting this out. Im very worried about him

Lets get the word out! thank you for posting this,, lets make it go viral and even National NEWS!!

We’re all praying Mark will be found safe.

Everybody and his brother is out looking for Shoestring. He's got to turn up. I hope he's ok when he does. I used to work in Ft Payne running a bunch of knitting machines. Lol next time you get a hankering to visit Choo Choo City, young feller, maybe try I59? Less trouble that way :D

Hobo Shoestring. A life well lived. Mark is the REAL King Of Hobos and always will be. Thanks for everything Shoestring. RESPECT Sir. Rest In Peace.

Thanks for the video dude! Alot of us are worried about Mark. The more attention this gets the greater the odds of locating him are. Lets hope we find him before the police find him and escalate the situation. We want him safe! We don't want him shot by the police.

Thanks for putting this out there. I’ve been following Shoestring for a couple years too. He is the nicest person around. We will keep praying and sharing all the posts.

A body was found in Boone Lake this afternoon according to the Johnson City Police. Here is a snippet of the release A body was recovered from Boone Lake on Friday afternoon, according to the Johnson City Police Department. A spokesperson with the JCPD said that first responders were actively searching the lake using sonar for a missing man, Mark Nichols, when a fisherman discovered the body. The JCPD spokesperson said the body has not yet been identified. I would say this is not a good sign. Thoughts and prayers are with the family

Christmas day 2022, I sat down in front of the tv and loaded youtube. Hobo shoestring's channel popped up for whatever reason and I started watching. I switched between him and the documentaries on the whole hobo culture, one of which was narrated by Ernest Borgnine. I was hooked. I think I binge watched Shoestring's channel for the rest of the week. Undoubtedly the man has had a hard life and he's been dry for about 8 years, but he's enjoyed freedom we can only dream of and seen the country he lives in like very few of our generation has. I do hope he's found safe!

we're All praying for you Hobo Shoestring to be found safe and unharmed we all love you buddy you have a huge fan base that cares about you man

Thank you for posting this. If more people know then more people can search.

Unfortunately they found hobo shoestring in a lake by his apartment a fisherman found him i rekon the cops fished his body out and there doing an autopsy on him now according what the Johnson city news reported rest in peace mark nickles i found out on Johnson City news 11 i live 45 minutes from Johnson City and we get there news coverage i loved his videos

Nice video hope we all together can find him ok

Praying 🙏

I posted videos and articles on my various social media … many prayers

Lord, I ask for your protection over Shoestring, wherever he is. Keep him safe, healthy, and resilient. Shield him from harm and ensure his well-being. I pray for his safe and unharmed return home.

Down in a holler 😂😂😂

What i dont understand is why the police department didn't use tracking dogs when they found his personal items like the bucket

If I lived in Johnson City I'd go around town looking for him.

Iam sure something wrong or heed be on KZfaq saying hes ok

I hope they find him

Commenting to push the algorithm. Thanks to all for your work in raising awareness. Thinking and hoping for the best. Kudos from Australia.

The place is a horder house 🏠

Ol shoestring has a lot of folks worried about him. Praying for a safe return.

With the amount of people looking for him and concerned for him and his health. You can. See why he is truly the hobo.King and the crown was stoled from him.

RIP Stay cool

Atheist here, after all prays, booths on the ground, knock on doors, ask for door/surveillance videos. I think he got out on the backside on the lake side, houses on the other side must have cameras to. Please inform the search team about the cameras before they delete them!!!

I saw Mark a few weeks ago. He was at home then, but haven't seen him since.

Will you keep us posted about shoestring hobo

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Drugs make your teeth rot 😂😂😂

Maybe he started drinking again?

If he didn't take his gear then I dont think he planed to go on the trains. Check around the lake

You might need a shower 🚿 😂😂😂

May God be watching over our only true hobo... wnc here. Looked at 197 highway ,mitchell mitchell Yancey.

Get this out shoestring is in the lake by his apartment. He slipped and that's where he is I know.

The Original is 6.1 165 tall thin Military Service Member Ret Vet.. but this other is 218 5.9 ht.. Something is strange..

I heard they used his picture for LRS in WARNO

How do you eat with no teeth 🦷 😅😅😅

crying for us all

Maybe if you take a shower 🧼 😂😂

You eat baby food 😂😂

Every thing helps, than u

He ain’t coming back. I strongly feel he’s dead. I live about 25 miles from Johnson City in Virginia about 3 miles from the Tennessee line. The JC PD and Sullivan County Sheriffs office are a joke. He probably jumped in the lake behind the apartments he lives in. They might eventually get around to dragging the lake but I have my doubts they’ll ever find him.

Mark only rides by him self. He hates riding with ithers. He says riding with others will get you caught or injured. He went solo a long time ago. He says that in a few of his vlogs.

Man i am praying for shoe, but this doesnt seem right.

this is what happened to shoestring kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdN4lMlpm7uwhZ8.html

Watch his last 2 video's very closely.

How about every random youtuber quit riding this emergency for views?

Preserve yourself by not hopping trains or trespassing on RR property. It’s just a matter of time before you make yourself a victim.

Work in the coal mine 😂😂

I read he left bare footed 👍🇺🇸

You need a job 😂😂😂

Y’all need some teeth 🦷 😂😂😂😂

I think he did what an old dog would do.

hes at the bar

Watching this knowing what is the third Time Ive wept over him in the loss.

Who cares ?

Glad everyone is trying to get the word out that Shoestring is missing. Thank you. ✝️😔🙏💜
