    Obviously you’re doing just fine with the jacket you have. For me - in all climates - a medium weight down (or synthetic down) jacket is a must. Even in warm places, when it’s stuffed into a packing cube it makes an excellent auxiliary pillow. Between wearing it and using it as a pillow it’s one of my most used items.

    It took me one year to become a full minimalist. One day sitting in a foreign country at a coffee shop I had the idea of becoming a minimalist, not even knowing what the word meant! I did some research on it and that day I decluttered my closet and from there I continued with everyone I owned. This year I am focusing on decluttering my life. It’s been a long journey

    A recommendation: the best packing cone ever that really blew my mind and was a game changer is peak design packing cubes series
    And another recommendation is the solo-tourist Teflon / waterproof bag. I use it either as a wet clothes carryon bag or clean wet laundry bag (the peak design packing cube have special system to store dirty clothes in a separate pocket ) and for long trips I also put scrubba washbag and use a single soap for all: the dr bronner one

    I keep having these minimalist videos recommended to me. I don't fully understand it though. Some I've seen, the people are fairly poor. Others, they seem to have a bank account loaded with cash. For me, there is definitely a fear of having nothing, but also a fiery curiosity of how to live contently. One thing I hope to achieve in my life is to be content even if I have little to nothing. Knowing that I struggle with this, and that I am a human, I fully believe that there are others who struggle in much the same way I do. The education I have has lead me to believe that many people are in deep sorrow and struggling to survive with next to nothing. But then there are people like this who choose to take little and live. It doesn't appear to be the same though. All these people seem to have the things that they value when it would appear to me that instead, the root of minimalism is to cast value out of your life and live within the world while labels and identities of all materials, including but also well beyond one's self, are cast aside. In that respect, I don't understand why any of these videos would be important to anyone other than someone who knows little about travel, a seemingly recurring theme within these recommended "minimalist living" videos.
    Even to that point, these videos seem to offer little to no knowledge other than instilling opinionated value of materialistic objects. I feel there is much more important information to be had when traveling. Specifically, an understanding of the culture, laws and societal influences that each territory has and how to act and react in the most appropriate way depending on what obstacles a person is faced with.
    I am not a fan of indoctrination, but I do respect those who have cemented their beliefs and attempt to educate others with the experience that the educator has received through personal experience. That being said, I don't particularly agree with youtube's team's idea of using an algorithm to recommend seemingly overload my browsing experience with videos like this one. I'm not much for advertising either as it seems to have much the same impact. What is should be labeled, but anything else is opinion and should always be left out of the equation of a viewing experience. The algorithm Seems to be a reflection of indoctrination at its finest, just as many youtube videos that are similar to this in delivering the information held within seem to be a reflection of personal doctrine.
    To finalize my commentary on this video as someone who is struggling with societal pressures and how best to act and react in the seas that are society, community and politics while still trying to enjoy the fruits of labor that so many around me and before me have worked to bring the pleasures of to the modern world, I've yet to watch a "minimalist's" video on youtube that actually seemed worthy of viewing purely based on the information being delivered. I do believe there are other things that a person can learn from watching videos of this nature though, but I honestly can't think of any that would reflect the idea of minimalism as a way of life. Although, the fruits of this labor, for me, does shine an interest on the contrast of taste in nearly all other things.

    Will surely follow all the tips you gave on backpacking.

    Hmm may I make suggestions following your "worst situation" rule?
    -rainjacket, worst situation: random weather change -> die of hypothermia or nicer option, you get a mean fever and spend a whole 2 weeks in hotel instead of exploring
    -minimalist first aid kit, worst situation: get a badly infected wound from substandard first line treatment -> cut trip short
    -reflectics and bright colours. On something. Backpack probably best. Weighs you down at most a couple g. Potentially saves your life if you got knocked unconscious in a ditch or something, someone spots the reflectic or bright colours and comes to haul you out before you die of hypothermia overnight or drown in 6" ditch water.
    It's legit happened in my home town that a drunk tourist died of hypothermia right next to a pub cause he was wearing all black. Gotta have at least a strip of hivis somewhere.
    For a minimalist first aid kit
    -antihistamines
    -antiseptic
    -sterile gauze pad
    -tape which will stick on wet surfaces(like a bloody torso) theres a bunch of diff brands, to clarify this is a multipurpose item, as can be used to hold on gauze(rather than bandages) for bigger open injuries, can repurposed as ankle support after sprain until u can see a doc, standalone makeshift plaster for little cuts, blister protection etc
    -sterile gloves for doing the gauzey antiseptic shit to a large injury if you end up needing it.
    This entire minimalist first aid kit would fit in a ziploc. Could save your life if you really had a worst worst case scenario like off on a long walk. 100% think it's worth carrying.

    Dear Jacob, why I find your videos so helpful? I always find some kind of new kind of human being I want to become and after a few weeks you make a video about it. I was always like normal women and didnt know what to wear. But when I really realised what am I wearing the most and mostly what I need the most... My closet changed completely! It is almost emoty now! As a full time student, doing sport, travelling, shooting videos... I dont need much. So I decluttered. And life is so much easier now! I have so much time without long choosing outfits in the morning. I am no longer angry because of my uncomfortable clothes because those ones which werent comfortable I donated or gave to my granie:) I totally agree with you. When I am travelling I need just a few important things. And it is also cheaper to travel with smaller bags :) thank you for making my vision of my journey with minimalism more clear:)
    And also...

      @Robert Williamson I've thought about trying that. I have a small satchel in my backpack for a day without laptops, but I still travel with a laptop bag so I can avoid bringing my whole pack to meetings/office/work

    • @tbrew8222
      @tbrew8222 3 роки тому

      My deuter 50L has a small daypack that zips off. I am out of my pack a lot and its nice to have the big pack that stays at "base station" (if it is a place I trust anyway) and a small pack for fetching dinner, swimming or whatever.
      Chicobag and a few others also make some packable backpacks that fold up pretty small, but still hold plenty. That is another good option. I love mine and it has held up to abuse and overstuffing pretty regularly. Fits in a cargo pocket, but still holds a whole grocery bag of food if you repack it from the stores bag.
      I also recommend a camp towel, you never have to seek one out in a new place, or smell one you don't want to use.
