My favorite train bum book but it is so much more too. This is also the most recent account, compiled from a zine that I believe was done around about the late 90s/early 00s by a train-hopping, dumpster-diving, vegan, straight-edge hardcore kid.
In addition to his train stories, he tells about squatting in abandoned houses in suburbia and living off of a sort of modern conception of "the fat of the land": a combination of perfectly good things people just throw away and scamming companies like Wal-Mart that I personally don't have that much sympathy for in this equation.
I think what makes this one so cool is that it is a train story but it is also so much more.
