As long as you're taking requests for video ideas, I got a lot of value from the long video you made a few years ago about death, health insurance, money, etc. I like how that video really breaks down some of the self limiting beliefs and unquestioned norms that people often cling onto as excuses for not living a more radical lifestyle, one that is actually in accordance with their own beliefs.
can you do what i eat in a day videos

Hello Rob, as you asked…. I’d like some help setting up a free seed library here in the UK. I don’t need the funding, I can get that, but I would like some guidances and insight please.
And it great to see you back on UA-cam.
Take care.
Thank you 🙏🌿💖✨🌻💕
Hey, Rob. You’ve been a huge inspiration to me! I came to your channel via the same route I came to permaculture - not gardening, because I’d never gardened before, but foraging. Permaculture immediately appealed to me because a sustainable garden I can wander through and FORAGE is the best of all worlds. So this year I planted my hugely over-ambitious first ever garden at age 60. Here, however, is my request. My ability to forage is declining because I’m losing my vision. Two things I would love so much to learn are, first, tips for transplanting wild edibles into my permaculture gardens for easy access, and second, any tips and suggestions for severely visually impaired gardeners, although that last may not be your particular direction. But I just wanted to thank you so much for inspiring me to get back to the woods, and to create my own accessible foraging forest!
❤ your name is written in my future plans to support your purpose & mission on this earth. I am most interested in learning more about your “how.” What was your process in breaking free from the system? Did you put your thoughts in writing a plan and then take on one thing at a time ?
Did you go back to banking, renting, buying toiletries or essentials ?
Where do you stay warm in the winter climate?
Hi Rob!
I'd like to see a video about how to break free from the trappings of technology addiction (i.e. television, mindless scrolling through phone, etc) focusing on the root causes (i.e. boredom, loneliness, disconnection from real world).
I'd also like to see a practical how to video on foraging especially in urban/suburban environments.
Lastly, I'd love to see a 'day in the life of Rob' video. How do you spend your time? What brings you joy in this lifestyle? What are your struggles?
Thank you very much for your efforts!
Welcome (forward) to Gaia, my friend! We are all breaking free from the grid, one at a time, to join you in this new reality we are (re)building.
I am with you!!!!!!
I would love to see day to day simple living! What a day actually looks like for you.
Practical tips and tricks to live in harmony with the earth. And tips to stay mentally grounded.
I would love to see you garden and cook as well.
Everything simple living and minimalism is always so interesting.
But just hearing you talk is already a great reminder to stay in touch with nature 🌍💚
Good to see you!
I’d love to see more from you about simplifying your life, minimalism, and tips about being less dependent on systems.
Upvote totally!!
Welcome back, my friend!!!!
I love this channel. I’m sure there would be people that say Rob is a nature looney. But he’s genuinely just one of the few people out there that has it figured out. This is what life’s about. I applaud him and wish I could be more like him. Rob’s also a guy that not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. He’s not a phoney that just says words. He changed his entire lifestyle and has stuck with it and his beliefs.
That's good news Rob, we missed you 😊
Hey Rob! Every time you've challenged assumptions or the "normal" way of being, I've found it inspiring. Continue to challenge yourself and show us ways we can challenge our thinking too...from bamboo bicycles, to trash suits, to tp choices, to growing and foraging your own food, to eating out of dumpsters. They all have "crazy" written all over them, but I think they help point out flaws in how we perceive and maybe redefine what normal is in a more regenerative and equitable way.
Keep up the good work!
Glad to see you back Rob. I am in the process of building a simple homestead I call Reality Ranch. Maybe you can come visit the people starting there there simple lives and film it. Just a thought.
Something I would be interested in seeing more from you about is the intersection of spirituality and sustainable living. I.e. a bit more emphasis on the inner work and evolution of consciousness that's necessary for change in the outer world, and how those to interact and go hand in hand.
So happy to have you back!!
Hey Rob, glad to see you are back, I want you to know that because of watching your videos my family and i are trying to live greener. We are minimizing our plastic waste more then ever before, we are using alternative and environmentally friendly products, heck we are composting and gardening for the first time in my life. Rob you make a difference in this world and inspire me and many others to do better. I'm glad that i watched your video through a random youtube recommended auto play and have now changed my family and my life.
Howdy Rob!
I would adore seeing a video on 'communicating with fellow humans with presence, peace, care, and groundedness'.
Thank you for being the change you wish to see!
I love you through all of your forms!
I look forward to seeing what you have for inspiration. I will say, your 1 year eating off the land experiment, helped us turn our front lawn into a full veg garden and we are currently harvesting year 3. Keep up the great work!
Welcome back rob. Take all the time you need. Your personal health and well being always come before the UA-cam. I do look forward to seeing more of your videos. May the earth mother bless your path.
Very few people are eating what they grow or forage. Any content on this would amazing, especially since you're now in a cooler climate, would be cool to see what you've learned.
Glad to have you back!!!
Good to see you here on Youtybe again!
I wish to learn more about simplifying my life, live minimalist and in a way that helps me treat the earth in a better way. I feel that our commercial society is built in a way that make me need some guidance and knowledge to be able to live in a sustainable way and I want to learn more.
I would love to see videos on ALL of those topics: minimalism, gardening, foraging, etc. so glad to see you back, Rob. I’ve always liked seeing your videos. ❤👋 -Fellow Wisconsinite
I absolutely agree
so happy to see you back here rob :D id love to learn how to Properly recycle, how to forage in big cities, and ways that one could take care of their local ecosystem in their own back yard
So glad you're back! I would love to see some vlogs and "day in the life" videos from you, especially to see how community building and collaboration takes place. I'm socially anxious but I really want/need to make friends and community, so I'd love to learn
I've been doing the same and still keep asking how I can better help humanity. Follow our hearts is the answer, like you said you wanted to be here and here you are back!!
What about helping mothers of children with their options, as balancing self, earth and family may be quite different from the degrees of freedom you have as a man, although dedicated to communities.
yeah...do that.
Thank your for sharing part of your life, journey, and personal things with all of us too.
I really appreciate that you have many other people discuss their ways of life and living too
Rob, I would like to know if you would touch base or ever consider going to a Canadian First Nation Reserve? The reason I'm asking this is because in a lot of isolated and remote Canadian Northern First Nation Reserves there is a lot of Food insecurity. For an example in the Nunavut a Canadian Territory a head of cabbage would cost them 28 dollars, Bell Peppers range from 10 dollars - 16 dollars, half a Watermelon 13 dollars, one Apple would cost them a little over 6 dollars.
Not only that Rob, a lot of First Nation Reserves lack safe drinking water as well and this has been going on for more than a decade
Thank you again so much Rob
Take care, Many Blessings, and Peace
Welcome back! This seems to be exactly what I need in life right now. Looking forward hearing what you have to say and learning from your experiences.
Glad to have you back! I know you talk a lot about how people don’t need to be as extreme as you, however I would like to listen to you talk about the details about how you personally live in sort of a mentorship type of way. I’d like to learn how I can live like you do without the online activism. Thank you so much for what you do! Can’t wait to see more!
Welcome back Rob. We will all look forward to seeing your new videos and perspectives.
Welcome back! I've always feel very inspired by that whole year growing and foraging your own food, and to be honest just you been the happy positive person that you are, makes those things way more approachable. Have a beautiful day!
What I would love to see is 1) a tour of Asheville, so we can all get a feel for where you are living and 2) a tour of your new
living quarters (could be just the outside - doesn't have to get too personal). 3) an introduction to your friends, housemates,
people you garden with, etc. 4) a description of projects you've been working on. Hope that's not too much.
Welcome back Rob🙏🏿. Everything you've ever said have resonated with me and I know that would continue to be the experience. You're a wise man😊
I happy to see you back I enjoy your video's and am trying to learn from more good all the time
Welcome back Rob! I have missed your videos. I am excited to hear you plan on sharing with us on a weekly bases your experiences and perspective on simple living. 🙂
Excited to share your amazing ideas with you we need more voices like yours in the world they give hope and anticipation for the future. 👍
I Love You Robin....well come back to YT❣ I tune into you on IG as well as here, and learn and enjoy all your amazing activism and humanitarianism that you post there. Wearing your trash in L.A. was life changing, clearly. All the collabs with the Indigenous cultures is crucial and healing. Children's books on living healthy and healing Mother Earth is incredible. Your support of the Feminine's Right To Choose what she wants to do with her own body is so needed NOW, and how you feature innovative people in low income areas who are creating Community Gardens....WOW😇 I always love your content, so please keep sharing what you're passionate about, as you are changing HUmanity....and Just By BEing You🙏🏽💜🥰
Yay!!! Missed your videos!! More ideas how to live minimally and leave a smaller footprint. 💛
I can't tell you how excited I am for this!! 😃
You inspired me in so many different ways! Including foraging and growing my own food. This year we turned a big part of our garden into a vegetable garden and as of two week ago we got another 100m2 in an allotment garden. (This year for free and after that for only €35 a year!!) So we can grow a really big part of our own food now using permaculture 😁🌱
Rob Greenfield is gradually becoming a real guru (in the good sense of the term)
I would love to see more content about what apartment dwellers can do to live a higher quality, more environmentally friendly life; seeing examples of renters who work with their landlords and neighbors to create communities that are more green than the average apartment-type community, that sort of thing;
And what individuals can do to make their workplaces more environmentally friendly (trash management, education, teaming up with others);
How people are working with their local municipality to create greener towns and laws; how laws can be changed to make it easier and less expensive to build green homes, ADUs, gardens, raise animals in town, etc.
Looking forward to more content from you. :)
Welcome back brother Robin! I would love a video about gardening in difficult climates. Any info on growing food sustainably in areas of drought or non traditional spaces maybe.
Thank you for always being a blessing.
Welcome back Robin! Your videos have always been very uplifting! Please, more videos that will motivate and inspire the regular working class, how to get rid of the fear of loosing or quitting a job that is bad for the environment. And the baby steps we can take to improve our environment while being a single mother.
Hey! So good to see you in your essence, Rob. I can see you relieved and happy with the decision made to respect your needs. The projects where you've worked in... so inspiring, and the effort put by your side admiring. It's time to get back to the roots and follow your nature. Thanks for your honesty. 🙏
I wonder how you deal emotionally with all the terrible things happening in the world regarding environment, industrial farming, fishing... and your relation with technology in order to keep yourself in touch with your beloves who live away from you. Are the screens present somehow in your daily basis?🤗
That's awesome because that's how I get inspired by you
Dear Rob, I'd love to see a day in the life of rob greenfield, Vlogs of you living in harmony, setting an example visually would change the world.
Yay! Love this💚 Thanks for everything you do.
I would love to hear your thoughts on veganism as it’s something I’m thinking more and more about in relation to the animals and the environment. Wishing you well from New Zealand
Just so happy to see more of you. Share you and your life, lifestyle with us teach people how to live a much simpler life. I’m just beginning a new journey/chapter in my life. I will be down sizing too. I’m not a minimalist, won’t pretend to be. But I can improve and eliminate by at least 40%. It won’t happen overnight, I’m giving myself to the beginning of 2023.
Happy you’re back!!!
Yes Rob, cant wait to see more vids with you. 🎉
Glad to see you’re back
The thing that got me watching you was the practical solutions you explored while trying to live a year off of only free wild/cultivated food in that tiny house that you (and others) built together. I like seeing practical options for living more freely, and effectively, be it simple tools, uncommon tips, and even new commercial technology (like the methane composting contraption you tried) when it's likely to be revolutionary for communities and households who want to find ways to live joyfully and comfortably while taking as little as possible from the planet (or even leaving it better than we found it).
I'm not really interested in basic politics/ideology or tours of fairly common things (urban gardens with typical plants growing in it). Also, as a vegan, I'd hope that any non-human animals are collaborated with consensually, but I understand you're not a vegan, so hopefully any eating or using non-human animals, be it on farms or in the wild, would be kept to a minimum.
i’d love to see what you do on the day to day! The interactions, the little projects and the community that is built up around you in an organic way
or even what you do on your free time! One day I’d love to not have to work at my career job and just be of service to the community like you . Thanks for the inspiration
Good news! Glad to hear it. All the best to you and your efforts.
Rob u rock!!! I have always believed that we need to build up our local communities through knowledge, practicing, participating, and growing together. The issue becomes for most people, how? So I would truly appreciate a video or series on how to start this revolutionary way to live.
Upvote totally!!
I love this!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
With you every step of the way Rob
I'd love to see you start an intentional living community. My goal is to get with a small community, build our own houses, grow our own food, start a school, etc.
Upvote totally!!!!
YES!!! I can't wait for you to share your insights, presence, and break-through messages. My husband and I enjoy watching your sovereign journey.
SOME CONTENT IDEAS: how to break away from the banking systems, how to shift our mindset, how to keep hopeful and friendly when the neighbors don't like our "hippie habits", and how to toughen our feet for barefoot life (I get so many thorns- how do you handle it?)... We'd love all the tips you have to share.
One thing I've had trouble getting my head around, is food and recipes in the future of food. Would love to see more food and recipe type stuff. Canning, etc.
Yay top 999 and top 184 likes and comments. Love your channel, especially the one year of growing and foraging your own food videos. Best to you and your family. Happy summer.
Hi Rob ! As a french student and vegetarian, i'd love to hear you about your favorite recipes that you can do with simple, mostly plant-based yet tasteful and nutritious ingredients. That would help me a lot i think to develop m'y ability to adapt and do things by myself, and i suppose it could help a lot of people too !! Thank you for being so you ! Were glad to see you back that way. Go according to your rythm. À bientôt ! :D
Thank you for your integrity and your sharing your process and the importance of it in our evolution and the evolution of us humanity and our beloved "Blue 💙" planet (Blue as seen from afar). Thank you, Blessings 💓
I first found you years back when you were living in the tiny house in someones garden. I loved the simplicity of how you lived your life back then in such a simple and educational way. I would love to see more of that as I am sure there is a lot more to learn from such simplicity.
i also really love the minimal living/downsizing content! how thrive with low income, being resourceful, basic needs, community, work exchange, etc.
So happy you’re back and that you took the time for silence that you needed. Self care is important. I love your dumpster diving videos and love seeing that food going to those in need. I’m curious how you find the people that you interview on your videos. I’d love to see how to find people and organizations to collaborate meaningful events with, like you do. Also, how do you feel when doing the trash suit? Does it go against your nature to buy junk you normally wouldn’t? Did you catch yourself trying to recycle stuff or pick the most eco-friendly options, and then have to remind yourself that you’re doing the trash suit thing?
Glad you're back! More minimalism and tiny living plz 🙂
Hey Rob, great to see you back on UA-cam
Hey Rob! Glad to have you back! I'd like to see how you live in a community with the people you work with, see them, and the whole dynamic, cause you're living my dream! I'm all about communal living, but I want to learn more about it in order to do it right.
I would love to hear what have you been doing for the last 2 years. Where are you living now? Did you live in New York for a while? So many questions! I would love to hear about your journey.
I would love to see another type of that one year of growing and foraging your own foods, maybe more about how you caught squirrels or whatever when they were eating all of your source of protein, or maybe fishing, maybe more dumpster diving videos. Maybe do a series of foraging videos for various states you've visited. Maybe foraging in all 50 states. Do you have any foraging videos or know anything about foraging videos for Maryland?
I'm very happy you'll be back on UA-cam...sharing your minimalist life with us...showing us, by example, that is possible to live a simple, frugal life and still enjoy being alive.
Rob, you are such a delight and I can feel the level of consciousness you’re being called to bring through. I’d love to see anything you’d like to share from this state of being knowing that it is what is needed at this time 💚🙏🏾💚
I’d love it if you would share more about how you get into that peaceful state you mentioned, of “deep Presence”. Thank you for inspiration!
I’m just new to your channel and I saw you on a tiny home video and was totally fascinated so I’m glad that you’re gonna be back on because I would love to follow your story💚
i, 19 with "big dreams" and anxiety. i really look up to you and love how your form of "work" is mutual aid/trade/etc. i think of how you built food forest lawns for people. these things really give me hope and inspire me, but i haven't even found a local community to be involved in! id love to hear about this process and how you conduct business, for lack of a better way to say it.
So excited to see you! Glad you're back! Thank you for all you do!
How about using your celebrity to create an international association financed by city halls to have people advising locally at home individually what to do with food scraps?
/ There are so much videos to get started step by step that you could propose for very beginners. Thank you so much for all your dedication.
Getting an understanding on the soils (each meter kind of different depending the trees, the wind/sun exposure, bugs,..)..knowing what to plant best, where and how create a food scraps’place.. is a very long process. It’s only a year we have a 500sqm garden. The paid gardeners we asked had no clue and advised only on flowers/trees and lawn..
I'm glad you're back! I would love to learn about how those of us on a simplifying journey can take the next step...particularly stuff for 'middlingly minimalist' folks who would like to be more radical in their simplicity but still live with a regular job, house, family etc.
You are my hero ❤ Videos about living as simply and basic as possible really speak to me. I love the inspiration you give and I always come back to your minimalism videos when I begin to slip ❤❤❤
I'm so happy you're coming back to UA-cam I love your content welcome back 💪🏻
Hi Rob! Thank you so much for what you are doing :) Your work and life are so inspiring. I would love it if you could talk more about your process when you started changing your life, particularly, how you handled the fear of being judged by others. I think this fear is a big barrier for many people to begin doing things differently.
Would love to see how people of different abilities make this lifestyle work for them as well
Can’t wait to see your future videos and projects. I would like to see an update/reminder on your 100 steps to going green. It’s the small doable steps that inspire me the most. Sometimes the change the world agenda feels so distant and not doable, helpless even. But it’s not if we all combine our own small efforts. Also gardening, cooking/eating/clothes/personal care/green jobs and workplaces, ordinary stuff we can all do. Thank you for all you do x
We're here to help you simplify, Rob! It's great to hear from you again, but I'm also glad you've been attending to your local community projects and personal needs to be silent and reflective on occasion. I'd love to hear any updates you have on your many life simplification tactics, what's worked for you, what's required some adjustment, and how you psychologically navigate "swimming upstream" if I might call it that.
Hi Rob, thanks for all the inspiration and practical videos you have provided over the years. It's great to have you back. If every average household could do one thing that would make the most difference to reduce their impact on the environment. What would that be and how would they most easily achieve it?
Just found your content and videos, am inspired. I totally agree that the less you have (materials) the greater and enriched your life is by spending time doing what you have passion for. Thanks for sharing and sending positive thoughts!
Awesome Rob, great to see you back! Your videos have had a huge affect on my approach and balance to life about 5 years ago. It too has pushed me to answer the question of what I can do to help humanity.
Hey Rob ! Glad to see you again ! Tell me please, are you staying in the same place nowadays ? How are you managing your (minimalism) goals these days ? Thanks in advance
Minimalist Living Your Backpack.
So nice to see you! :) Welcome back and thank you for inspiring me.
So happy to hear your returning, I miss the education you always provided for us.
cool to hear! thank you for your honesty. love
How do you stay motivated? What do you do for self-care or to improve mental/emotional well-being? Spirituality/meditation.
Good luck! I'm trying to spread awareness of community gardens and home gardens in my own community!
Organic farm work stays in different places; showing the work, the life, the ways to use the food and materials; in an weekly/biweekly format. Bonus points for videos of getting to the different farms.
Hello my hero! I'm so happy that you've decided to stay in place, in place, in place, at least for a while :-) you had said that you were going to be living with a small community of people that would support each other and learning things like woodworking Etc, I would love to hear about the small communities, I truly believe they will be popping up as 'parallel structures' all over the world, and what you're doing will be so inspirational. Thank you again for all you do! ( was so wonderful to share presence with you at the Laguna Beach clean-up 🐟🏖🐬🦀🐬🐙🦈🦐 )
