USA photo collection part 2: Pennsylvania to Los Angeles

The video is over 95% finished, but I'm currently in the middle of exam season so can't work on it much for the next 2-3 weeks. Despite that I'm confident that I'll be able to release it mid February.

Here's the rest of the pictures from the trip, from Pennsylvania to LA. We got stuck in Harrisburg/Altoona for a few days due to our lack of experience, but once we made it to Chicago and met up with Jacob and Sham, progress was fast. From Chicago to LA it only took us about five days. We ...

USA photo collection part 1: New York and Pennsylvania

It's hard for me to describe what I felt on the first day in New York City. I was severely jet-lagged, about to throw myself into one of the biggest adventures of my life. There was no concrete plan. Just try to hop from New York to California within two weeks and see what happens. Two of the three people I was going with I had never met before in my life, and one of them literally had never been on a freight in his entire life. That's Erik.

I met him on the first evening in New York. W...

Where have I been?

Hi,

It's been a while since I have posted anything here (or on yt). I've spent most of the summer hopping and now I'm starting to edit the videos. It's one big Europe trip and one big USA trip. USA will come out first. I upgraded my computer and switched editing program to DaVinci Resolve, as I'm moving more towards filmmaking and putting more effort into my projects. Quality over quantity will be the focus going forward, so fewer videos that will be higher quality and also longer. The ...

Trainhopping across Europe (Full)

Finally managed to upload the video here, after it got taken down from YouTube multiple times. Other video hosting platforms won't take it because the file is too big.

Old videos reupload

Hi,
A viewer sent me an archive of some of my old videos that I thought were lost. They've been sitting on my hard drive for a few months.
Now I got around to uploading them. I'll slowly make them public over the next few weeks, but for now they are patreon exclusive. Gotta give back to my amazing supporters :)

Winter Journey across Romania

Finally got this done. I'll make the video public on April 1st :)

Journey across Romania - Intro

Just got the intro done. It'll take a few more weeks to finish the full video.

Update

My attorney got the police to drop the case. Finally I'm free! Well.. I still have to pay about 1500€ in legal fees, but at least I have the peace of mind knowing that police isn't after me anymore. Thanks everyone for donating and supporting me!!
More videos are coming soon.

New lens test

I recently exchanged my old lenses for a new one and took it out for a short hop. I'm very satisfied with the results so far.

hi. quick update. the trouble I'm in is not over, it'll just take a long time to get settled. i really appreciate your support, and I'll be back for now.

update

hi,

first of all, thanks for the amazing feedback on my last post. it feels good to have such great support.

some people asked me to make a fundraiser, but here's the thing: i have to pay about 1500$ in attourney costs, as well as a potential fine. a fundraiser would never be able to raise that much. y'all have already showed a great amount of support on patreon here. i can't really ask for much more. still, if anyone has some spare money left and wants to further help me, you c...

Journey across the USA

USA sneek peek

why not :)

USA update 2

I've been working on the video for about 2 weeks now, and the first raw cut is done. It's a bit over 3 hours long. I should be able to get the video done within 2-3 weeks.

USA update

Hi :)
I recently got back from the US, trainhopped from coast to coast there, New York to Seattle.
I'm currently working on the video, it'll take a few more weeks to finish since my normal life is pretty busy at the moment.
I'll attach some pics of the trip below.

Photo collection: Journey to Croatia

70 photos i took during the trip. Really happy with how the whole thing turned out. Thanks yall for making all of this possible :)

As i said in the video, i'm pretty much broke right now, so i appreciate your support more than ever.

Photo collection: Trainhopping across the Alps

A collection of photos i took on my most recent trip across the Alps (the patreon-exclusive video).

Trainhopping across the Alps (3 times)

Early access. I´ll make this video public in a few days to a week.

This is a trip i did last October. Originally i wanted to hop to France, but due to circumstances my plans changed and i hopped across the Alps 3 times in a row.

Update

My channel got deleted today. I have submitted an appeal that is being reviewed right now, the chances of success are very low, though.
My second channel has turned into my main channel now. I'll upload a backlog of old videos there, as well as new videos. I've been editing a lot lately, and 3 videos with runtimes of about an hour each will be uploaded to the channel within the next 1-2 weeks.

Trainhopping across the Alps

A beautiful, but cold hop across the Alps i recently did, featuring my new camera.

Update

I´ve changed the "Patreon-exclusive Trainhopping videos"- perk from tier 3 to tier 2. Anyone who chose tier 3 because of the extra content, feel free to switch.

I´m uploading another video to Patreon right now. It´s the first hop i did with my new camera.

Also, i will start uploading older patreon-exclusive videos to my second channel on YouTube after they´ve been on Patreon for a few months.

Stay safe!

Update

Hi everyone,

i realized that I've been pretty inactive on here for the last couple of months. From now on I'll give regular updates. 

I'm currently working on a patreon-exclusive trainhopping video that'll definitely be the best one I've uploaded on here yet, it's about 20 minutes long and its (relatively) short length is the only thing holding it back from making it to YouTube. I'll probably upload it in 3-4 days. 

Also, I'm going to try out YouTube memberships. F...

Night of Freedom: Crane climbing, Trainhopping

This video was uploaded to my channel in early April of 2023. YouTube deleted it because it violated their terms of service.

Trainhopping Journey to Italy

My first trainhopping video, uploaded to YouTube in September of 2022. I deleted the video from my channel due to low quality. However, i still think it is interesting to look back at the beginnings of my YouTube channel.
