Shit man, I just came across your channel. What a fantastic video style. The camera work is pretty, the editing is quick and snappy and the narration is funny. There are a lot of minimalists on KZbin who would have just sat in front of a camera and filmed a 15 minute video giving, um, like what like in their personal opinion is like the best way to pack, but even though everyone is different this is just how they like to pack, so um yeah, this is their how to pack like a minimalist video. Short, to the point. Top knotch work. I am definitely subscribing. :-)

"How to pack like a minimalist". Packs 5 grey shirts😂

[@LiamNoir]

And a charcoal shirt, and a button down shirt, and three pairs of shorts! Cramming the bag full of clothes and only suitable for summer conditions! I really thought this video was a joke. I was waiting or the 'just kidding' but it never came. But maybe it's still a joke?

[@adamlanghans]

It is definitely a joke, as well as a way to show off how much fits in the bag.

[@ChipsMint]

idk if its a joke or not but he said he’s going away for a week, he brought 7 shirts, one for a day so it’s still minimal. i mean who, wants to wear the same shirt for the rest of the week even if its sweaty and not all have time to do their laundry on vacation lol its still funny that all are grey hahah

[@keminva]

And a drone!! I usually always never pack a drone

[@akashchoudhary8162]

Pete Burrows Minimalism essentially means having what you need and nothing more. In this video, he did just that I'd say. No one's saying that he's an expert but he sure has some more knowledge about minimalism than the next guy. And how do base that he's not a minimalist?

[@JadeLively]

Omgggg this bag is amazing!!! I love the layout of the bag and everything it provides! Seriously mind blown since I have yet to come across such a well thought out bag. Those compartments, the space and essential pockets, being made ethically, everything about this bag makes me feel like I'll make the best use out of a true travel bag. Checked some of the comments after finding out that the bag isn't (what I assume would be around) $175 but $325! But now as an adult and a growing minimalist, this bag truly is worth that much. Other comments were about how Matt packed wasn't "minimalistic" but living minimally is simply removing anything that isn't deemed useful and keeping only essentials. Everyone has their own perspective on what their definition and terms are when it comes to what they need or not. He gave a reason for everything he packed for himself and that's that. It's unfortunate that the perception of minimalism is so negative and ignorant, so many people is missing the point and thus continuing life without realizing that there is so much in one's life that shouldn't belong, such as clutter, negativity, toxic people, and anything that isn't used often. Anyways, after sleeping on it, I am definitely going to buy this amazing bag!

[@klaymonkey9073]

Ranger rolling trousers & shirts is a more compact method than folding into a square. Not as fast, but it creates more bag space, minimizes creases, won't rumple in transit & it makes your bag contents easier to rife through. Not as fast to prepare, but if keep an emergency stash pre-rolled you can simply throw them into the bag.

[@shinsengumi3791]

I started watching your videos and subscribed to your channel. Love your stuff. I’m a musician and am blessed to travel almost every month. I definitely pack minimally along with my minimal music equipment. Watching your channel and hearing the perspectives of minimalism has changed my life. Thanks for the great content.

[@lowellmayfield5736]

I'm not even what I'd call a minimalist, but this is about 3X more stuff than I've ever taken on a week long trip. I usually carry a lightweight backpack (a bookbag, really) and fill it about halfway... 3 shirts, 3 pair of underwear and socks, an extra pair of pants, and cargo-type shorts, phone charger, toiletries. I wash in the sink if there's no laundry service.

[@lowellmayfield5736]

@@annie-tu1oy You're right, and I agree with everything you said. I was just expecting to find a few tips on how to pack even lighter than I already do, and I was amused by how much stuff this guy crammed into that bag, lol... Also, I do always pack swim trunks and flip-flops, I forgot to mention those. I don't mind the washing in the sink, it only takes 10 minutes, but you're right about it being unnecessary since I have plenty of room in the bag for a few more changes.

[@bellaluce7088]

Check out professional tour guide Sarah Murdoch's packing videos! Top tip: literally weighing each item and packing what's lightest (she can fit 4 or 5 utlra-light light tops in the space of ONE t-shirt). Also mix-and-match capsule wardrobe, and cool product recommendations like ultralight yet comfortable shoes, and lightweight undies that dry quickly (On Gossamer, fruit of the loom mesh...). She has one video where she used a school size backpack with 15lbs. for two weeks and watching her unpack 7 (or more?) tops, 3 bottoms, a dress, jacket, toiletries, etc. AND a full-size down pillow was like a magic trick! Also like her Eileen Fisher video (no Eileen Fisher required).

[@nicolecornelious7445]

[@HannaYoon]

A button DOWN actually refers to buttons on the front of a shirt collar in order to keep the points of the collar laying flat on the shirt (which serves a similar function as collar stays). A button UP more popularly refers to a shirt that requires you to button it closed in the front.

[@TXGranny2]

One of my FAVORITE videos, I go back and watch it every so often to give me a laugh. ❤️

[@faizjp]

Jack Reacher (the movie) taught me how to pack as a minimalist. Always wash your cloths especially tops and underwear overnight so you can keep wearing it on the next day. 2 or 3 tops/underwear/pair of socks is good enough to travel for a long period.

[@RichardBejtlich]

Great video and I love the bag too. It seems the key to being a minimalist though is wearing Tshirts and shorts every day? No business suit, shirts, slacks, ties, or jiujitsu gi in that bag.

[@BlameBarky]

For clarity, Button up refers to the type of shirt (a shirt with buttons), a buttondown refers to the collar of a shirt. if the shirt has buttons for the lapel, it is considered a buttondown because you can button down the lapel so they don't curl. the buttons on the collar were introduced years ago during polo tourneys to stop the colar from rolling and looking bad.

[@jeffsketches]

I found your channel recently and I love your calm videos, they are really calm and nice to watch daily, you have a nice life. I love you video, editing styles and narration.

[@j33tz]

how lovely it must be to be a man! I have to think of things like makeup, shoes that work well with a "night out outfit", gym gear, layers for unexpected weather changes, and of course us bosomed ladies have these salad-bowlesque bras that take up too much room. Very clever, although not having a camera case/strap makes me cringe a little!

[@Nekotrekk]

It's easy to pack as a woman too, I traveled with my 18 L Kånken bag in Japan for three weeks without any issues. For essentials you don't really need all those extra clothes and shoes, that goes for makeup too, just keep it basic for the face, a small bottle of foundation, mascara and a browpen or something, what more could you possibly need if you're travelling minimalistic? I guess the packing differs from what kind of traveling you're doing but I personally think less is more. Way less carrying and haggling with all the extra weight. You can just roam around freely. It also feels safer carrying everything on you rather than worrying about missing luggage :)

[@weaselly_moment]

A girl doesnt need makeup they just wear it for some odd reason

[@nae1739]

hide your socks or cables etc between your bra when you fold it in half to save space, thats how i pack. you dont need makeup, i never travel without make up as its not an essential. i just wear a pair of sneakers and jeans or dress pants if im going out but its really not that hard to pack as a girl than if youre a guy so idm what youre complaining about 🤷‍♀️

[@chosenundead3174]

You don't have to do any of these things, you choose to. You want to look good with make up and play dressing games while traveling, it's not a requirement.

[@SadieScarlett]

It's really sad that you think you need all these things. I thought people who travel a lot were supposed to be free of these modern arbitrary trappings. I'm a girl, I don't wear makeup. And you can wear you standard sandals with a 'night outfit'. You don't 'have' to do any of that 'girl' stuff, it's a choice, and lots of those choices won't apply once you're somewhere culturally different...

[@JasonPolkovitz]

Button-down refers to the collar.

[@LeahandLevi]

Man this is is so satisfying to watch for some reason....

[@francescafrancesca3554]

Well, minimalist can be about just have the absolutely necesaries for you. So, the number can be different.

[@kaieden]

francesca francesca francesca francesca yeah I know, it was just a goofy joke. One of the things I like about Matt & The Minimalists is their emphasis on how it's a personal journey and not about arbitrary rules. I have different priorities, so when I travel I fit everything into a small backpack even if it means I spend time doing laundry when I'm away - I want to travel light and have fewer things to worry about - but I sacrifice a small amount of time and money to do so.

[@LiamNoir]

God, I NEED THIS BAG! I am not a minimalist (well kinda, but not as much as you tho) BUT I like practicality, especially while traveling (I travel a bit, so I have to pack and unpack frequently, plus, I like to know quickly where every little thing is, in order to reach it easily, and not undo the whole suitcase to find what I need) Love your videos!

[@bellaluce7088]

I feel the same way about wanting to be able to actually see where my stuff is! Pakt now has a backpack which I like even better than the duffel (both currently on sale as of 11/2022), but I'm torn between the more elegant style of the Pakt bags and the even greater visibility of the Cotopaxi Allpa, which has mesh on both sides and the laptop sleeve on the back. There's also the ebags Motherlode Jr., but I don't know if I can handle the orange interior! I really wish more bag makers would use the suitcase-style clamshell design!

[@capturethatfilms]

Amazing video Matt! Just wondering how do you take your camera equipment out with you each day on your trip? Do you take it handheld or do you empty your main travel bag and just used that?

[@mattdavella]

Great question. I usually carry my camera handheld. If I'm planning on doing a lot of hiking I will bring a small backpack with me (or use my partners). That way I can take my drone & batteries with me. It'd be great to find a small bag that could roll up into this one for those situations. After carrying my camera handheld for years I actually just dropped it for the first time in Maui. On the pavement. It tumbled five times down hill until I grabbed it. Lens was okay but my ego was shattered 😭

[@capturethatfilms]

Thank you for taking the time to reply to this. Ah man I can't believe you dropped it. That is always a heart break moment :( Adleast the lens was okay though...

[@mp2802]

Matt D'Avella just happened to see your comment - if you're still looking, check out the outlander pack! It can fold into a little flat square, is super durable, and is like $15! For hikes, I just stuff my fragile items into a padded ape case (also collapsible) then into the bag. Together, the pack + case is just under 1lb!

[@DanielHarrisCodes]

That's a cool foldable bag right there. When you aren't using it you could easily stuff it into a drawer/wardrobe at home. Looks more comfy to carry that a basic drawstring bag that you get when you join gyms etc.

You pack more than I do and I pack a folding bike in my suitcase, but interesting nonetheless. I put all my clothes in a dry bag since I switch out my bike I rode to the airport or bus stop and use it as a carry on. The suitcase doubles as a fold out bike trailer. as well as a permanent storage space for my bike when I don't want to look at it at my home. The dry bag is a permanent storage space for my clothes, three sets per season and are usually stored in the floor storage space when I don't need them and each dry bag doubles as wash bag to clean the clothes and a shower for when I'm on a cycling tour around the world.

Weeell, gotta sat it's just amazing. I've watched lots of your videos so far (maybe not all of them, but lots) and I must say the way you film and the way the result looks and "feels" is completely outstanding. Although I'm not a filmmaker and not connected with that field in any kind, so I probably can't fully appreciate the work you do, I still think it's more than fantastic. I really really love it just as all your works I've watched so far. And yeah, The Ground Up Show is one of the best podcast I've ever found (and I've had found quite many different). I suppose I should also watch it on KZbin... Well, sorry for a long one, I'm so thankful that there's you here on KZbin! Thank you very much for what you're doing. Good luck in everything!

I still haven't understood if your channel is serious or a parody but I love it

Me neither.

Ohhh. Found the perfect bag for me. And not for being (or to-be) a minimalist, but because I usually pack few things and don't have a proper bag. Anywhere I travel to, I pack (read "shove") my clothes and stuff in a regular backpack. But, you know what? I'll never have one. It's super expensive when converted to Brazilian Reais.

It sounds like you're already doing a great job of minimalist travel! - Not sure about shipping and customs fees, but the ebags motherlode jr. has a similar suitcase-like clamshell design (plus the benefit of backpack straps) and as of 11/2022 is on sale for $83 using code THANKFUL on their website (25% off the regular price of $110). The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L backpack also has a suitcase-style opening and is currently $190 with their discount for signing up for emails ($200 normally, but larger discounts are sometimes available through other vendors). The Pakt duffel is also on sale right now, as is the Pakt backpack which I like even better. But the backpack is even more expensive: currently $268 on sale from $315! I think you may be on to something using a regular backpack!

The extra touch with the charcoal t-shirt just left me speechless 😂 By the way, choosing the right bag is the key here ^^
