The stereotypical way for runaways and Hobos alike to carry their belongings: wrap a bunch of objects in a bedsheet or large kerchief, tie it to a stick and sling it over your shoulder. The cloth of the bindle itself will usually be depicted as polka-dotted. In hobo slang during and after The Great Depression, someone who carried a Bindle Stick around was referred to as a "bindlestiff". Even after the Bindle Stick usage in real life virtually disappeared in The '50s due to availability of backpacks and other more convenient carrying methods, the usage of Bindle Sticks in media remained. Compare the Shopping Cart of Homelessness, a modern urban counterpart to this trope. |

Apparently there's a writer on The Simpsons who loves the word "bindle". When Homer joined hobo boxing, one of the hobos he fought kept stopping to "check on his bindle". (It's John Swartzwelder, according to DVD commentary). Again when Bart befriends a hobo— Chester J. Lampwick, the real creator of Itchy. When Homer became "Mr. X", upon going public, Nelson brought him a rumor about the school's cafeteria cooking hobos - he had the bindle sticks to prove it. In "Lisa's First Word", Bart has one during the time he intends to run away from home. |

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: In the "Sonic Says" segment from "Tails' New Home", Coconuts carries one when he considers running away from Robotnik. When Sonic tells Coconuts one of the disadvantages of running away, one of the robots Coconuts encounters takes the bindle stick from him. In "The Robots' Robot", the titular Robot runs away from Robotnik's fortress carrying one. One of the things inside it is the Butual Lepton Atomic Material Moficiation Oscillator device, or BLAMMO for short, that can easily implode the entire planet if it gets set off. |

Lazarus Long has one packed for him in the 1910s by a kindly doctor's spinster sister (who keeps house for her apparently also unmarried brother) in Time Enough for Love by Robert A. Heinlein, though he re-packs it soon afterward, as it's actually a liability on the road to look like a "bindle stiff." Averted in Sixth Column, where a protagonist heading out to do recon among the hobo population refuses one, so he won't look disreputable. |

Portal 2 makes a brief reference to this in the 70's era test chambers, when Aperture Laboratories was reduced to hiring hobos due to impending bankruptcy. One of the signs also depicts a test subject still carrying one while in his orange jumpsuit. |

The kung-fu film The Bells of Death revolves around a farmer whose family died in a bandit attack, and went on a five-year training regiment to become a Master Swordsman and seek revenge. Turning to Walking the Earth, he spends the whole movie carrying his belongings in a bundle wrapped in a stick, which is even depicted on the DVD cover. | |

Two instances in Hanna-Barbera's animated series of The Little Rascals: In "Beauty Queen for a Day", Darla carries a bindle stick, intending to leave home with Pete when she feels that most of the boys have abandoned her, but reconsiders after hearing about the upcoming beauty pageant. In "King of the Hobos", Porky does this after being exiled from the treehouse. |

Peanuts One strip lampshaded it — Linus was going to pack a suitcase before Lucy corrects him and points out that every little boy running away from home always carries his things wrapped up on the end of a stick. He then walks away holding the stick in front of him and feeling "somewhat akin to a fool." In the next strip, Charlie Brown sees Linus and asks, "Carrying everything on your back?" Linus responds with, "Just my bowling ball." In another Peanuts strip, Snoopy carried a bindle stick when running away after he yawned and lost Lucy's balloon: "Make one mistake, and you pay for it the rest of your life." In yet another strip, Charlie Brown himself puts one of these together in order to run away from home. He gets halfway down the sidewalk before the knot fails, sending all his belongings flying. |

Mendacity: Bon Bon gathers her supplies in a bindle when she sets off to find Lyra, despite the logistical problems of using one when you're a quadruped — to hold one, a pony needs to hobble along in a very awkward three-legged gait. He preference would have been to use saddlebags, but Aldrovanda stole hers. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: During a flashback sequence in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" when young Applejack goes to meet her relatives in Manehatten. How she manages to carry it over her shoulder despite her lack of hands is a question best not asked, as she looks utterly adorable doing it. "Owl's Well That Ends Well" showed Spike carrying one after running away from home. Seen again with Spike in "Dragon Quest" when he decided to join the Great Dragon Migration. In "Bloom and Gloom", Apple Bloom carries one in a nightmare sequence where her family kicks her out of the house. Applejack picks one up when she has to go to Manehattan (again) in "Brotherhooves Social". |
