    I was curious, so I counted the Items mentioned in the video 😊
    Clothing: 36 Items
    Filming Gear: 18 Items
    Hygiene/EDC: 4 Items
    Misc./Hygiene: 5 Items
    Kitchen: 10 Items
    Furniture/ Transportation: 7 Items
    Misc: 4 items
    Total of 84 items (mentioned )
    Items that weren't included were any items communal/shared, perishables/food, individual/personal, replenishable/ 'runs out.
    *note: Clothing Items include count from previous video. If Nick mentioned the word 'couple', I added it as 2 Items and if he stated 'few', I counted it as 4 Items.
    *Also, total count may not be accurate for actual total Items owned, but it's a pretty darn goal to be inspired by ❤
    If anything is incorrect, please correct me and thank you again Nick for another great video 🙏

    It appears you live in a shared house, so it's easy to be minimalist if you only have a bedroom as your own space to furnish.
    If you have a lounge/living room then your sitting on furniture provided by someone else, pans/bowls/plates, cooking utensils, microwave, kettle etc, provided by someone else.

    I like the idea of minimalism, I would probably call myself a full/medium-feature(practical?) minimalist, but most minimalism that the internet seems to be interested in trends to look more like "hurt-falivism". I'm currently looking for a new wallet, but they all claim to be minimalist wallets where I don't have any space to put cash in a space where I know it will never fall out like a pocket, or the wallet has a built-in multitool where I would be afraid to sit down with all the knives that pop out. It's like Bungie jumping with a real rope because the rope was smaller than the elastic one.
