I'd add instead of tossing the clothes that don't fit, I'd go to a tailor (youre usually helping a small business too). Another one i'd add is mending clothing, I have a sewing machine that I am using this week to mend some stuff around the house thats been adding up, from sewing up small holes in some clothes, a rip in a pillowcase, to even repairing a tear in a jacket.
I totally get that, in your situation you’d definitely want to keep your books. Everyone has different hobbies and interests and everyone’s situation will be different. Enjoy your books!
Josh, I like this style of video. You don’t add a lot of fluff and still make things interesting to watch. I appreciate your thoughts on minimizing. Thank you, sir.
Excellent tips on saving some dough & being more eco-friendly! I have flasks but I still prefer bottled Costco water or 9.5 waters (still working on that). Keep up with the vids, really enjoy them! I miss your vlogs :)
It’s definitely a long term work in progress sort of thing, just keep making changes that work best in your life and you’ll get there! Glad you’re enjoying the videos too :) nice to hear someone enjoyed the vlogs, very few folks watched them back in the day but I can definitely see bringing them back as the channel grows around here.
Good points but I disagree with the point about Ill fitting clothing. For a person like me who is constantly fluctuating in weight, i’ve learned the hard way that its always smart to have a wardrobe one size larger in storage. Otherwise I end up constantly buying and selling clothes which is even more wasteful.
I’m in the process of selling off most of my physical media. I like buying physical copies of games, but I never keep them, I sell/trade them when I’m done. My books and records were stacked up and getting no use. It’s been great to get some $ out of them.
Here in the US, people tends to use toilet paper more than other countries. In Asian (Japan/Korea/Vietnam etc...) most toilet have a water line faucet next to it so people use it instead of toilet paper 90% of the time.
Oh now I loveeee your channel. The lighting, the background, the camera you use, your thoughts on this subject are very helpful. I admit I struggle with the paper towels I try, but always go back to using them. My cat Stella never plays with her toys. She would rather sit in a box….. Except every morning my husband plays with her with this mouse on a wand, and she calls it a day after that, I donated all her toys except for two to a shelter… I am work in progress too 😀
Thanks so much! I’m a Sony shooter without a ton of experience with canon, but I’ve heard great things about the m50 for the price and the footage I’ve seen looks great!
Unfortunately I haven’t found a good reusable chemical filter that I liked, but found an aero press filter from kaffeologie on Amazon and absolutely love it. Got it 8 years ago and still in perfect shape 👍
@@joshfenn thank you! My chemex has been setting on the counter for months now since I ran out of filters. Just haven’t wanted to spend the money on paper ones! Been using my French press while hoping to stumble upon a highly liked reusable for the chemex! One day... one day lol
Here's a tip for refillable oil sprayer... in order for the oil not to go rancid store it in the fridge. That will make the oil last longer before spoiling. This will make the oil thinker so you'll have to run it under hot water to loosen it up.
I’ve had probably 20 reusable water bottles in my life because I always end up losing them or forgetting them somewhere and I like nice aesthetically pleasing bottles (so expensive) so losing them was getting really annoying. If there are people like me watching this video the trick is to buy a ~1 liter hard plastic water bottle from some fancy water company like Pellegrino or acqua panna and use it for as long as you can until you lose it, it’s not as great as being responsible but it works. I usually use mine for about 2 months before I lose it. It’s not the most eco, it’s not gonna be as cheap as buying one bottle and keeping it for 5 years but it works
You’ve gotta do what works best for you. Hopefully in time you can learn to not lose/leave the bottles but glad the system has been working okay for you.
I never thought I could do it either! If you’re looking for a ‘fancier’ alternative it might be worth checking out a big back of shop towels or something for a more dedicated replacement. You do you know, everyone’s situation is different 👍👍
With cats I have learned that they like to play with everything what you didn't buy for them but not with those things what you bought for them. Too often I have found my cat sitting on a box of their toys after they have forget the actual toy.
No worries! Everyone’s situation will be different for sure. I still have my old 360 and OG Xbox discs, I’ve just been aiming to go digital on all new games when I can.
It’s just a misting spray bottle to use when cooking to coat pots and pans when needed. They make aerosol sprayers that are designed just for that but the refillable misters/sprayers work just as well and are far cheaper.
As an average Indian I'm horrified with things we use daily and considered normal here. Using old jars? Using old clothes, etc. I'm just shocked. Are Americans so wasteful?
It depends a lot, but there’s an unfortunate ‘disposable’ mentality around a significant amount of America. Some people and places are more conscious than others.

Very good point worth mentioning, thanks for sharing with everyone!
my books identify me. it nice seeing them when you get home, adds personality. its so hard to just let them go....
Agreed

Great vid Josh! I also reuse glass jars, and yes, K Cups are horrible all around, bad for the planet and undrinkable coffee.
No idea how they got so popular, I totally agree. The taste is even worse than the cost and waste.
I wake up at 5 am start looking for chromebags and wondered of into ur vids, love the community you have man def subbing ✌📈📈💯 good weekend to u guys
Another thing is when you were talking about not having books is you can always go to the local library for books and movies!
Absolutely! You can rent audiobooks and digital copies without needing to go in as well.

I can totally understand that, gotta do what works best for you!
glass olive oil bottles have been great! reusable and serve great with flowers once cleaned!
That’s a great one!

Definitely a good point for keeping the physical media, glad it’s working well for you!
Or if someone likes a fabric softener then use a organic one but soak some with a sponge then squeeze out sponge and throw sponge in dryer.
Interesting idea, thanks for sharing!

Not sure why bidets and water cleaning haven’t taken off more here in the US, hopefully over time more people will adopt a similar setup!

So glad you’re enjoying the channel! Totally understand the cat situation haha, you’ve gotta hold onto those few toys that they like 😻😹
@@joshfenn Josh I more then enjoy your channel, I’m all caught up now, so look forward to new videos
Good content Josh, I recently purchased a Hydro flask and am loving it! Maybe the best water bottle I have purchased!
That’s awesome! I definitely love mine too.
wow I love the content and the tones and everything! Any thoughts on m50 canon?
Thanks so much! I’m a Sony shooter without a ton of experience with canon, but I’ve heard great things about the m50 for the price and the footage I’ve seen looks great!
Do you have a favorite brand for reusable Chemex filter? Possibly a brand that makes one for the V60 dripper as well?

If your ever in central Florida we should grab a drink and share ideas.
Instant coffee for me. No microwave. No coffee maker.
Whatever works for you!

Hahaha I definetely feel a little targeted... maybe one day I'll give up power towels. Anyways, nice video Josh. Happy Friday and good weekend to you

Haha so true!
My ps4 broke and iam on a ps3 so I kinda need discs
No worries! Everyone’s situation will be different for sure. I still have my old 360 and OG Xbox discs, I’ve just been aiming to go digital on all new games when I can.
Fabric softener is not good for your washer.
Another great reason to ditch it!
Hahahaha what you called minimalist we call a normal day here in a 3rd world country. The jars thing is a must in any kitchen
Glad it’s working well for you too!
I've gotten rid of three bags of clothes that my family and I have outgrown.
That’s great!
Love your videos :)
Happy to hear it, thanks for the support!
Oil sprayer? I am not from the US, I don’t even know what that is, lol!

Nothing like Bull Run water, I miss it, Santiam water isn't as tasty. Great tips Josh.
Every time I travel I’m reminded of how great I have it, it’ll be a sad day if I ever move away from it.

More Wolfie! ;-))
Totally agree 😻

Or just simply don't use a dryer. Most of the world does not use drying machine. It's not necessary at all.
Great point! I air dry a fair amount of my clothing.
