Hey everyone. My name is Nicholas and I make videos most about my experiences with minimalism, frugal living, tech, and things of that nature 🌱. So if that sounds good to you consider subscribing and I'll see you in the next one ✏️

[@Yuki-Sohma]

Can you please do an updated whats on my iphone video too. Highly appreciate the videos btw

[@Khalmoon]

It's really nice to see someone with a bag they have used for a much longer time, I have the bellroy and i just upgraded to a larger bag, I kinda wish there was one exactly like that bag (magnetic clasp and all) just 2 liters bigger. enough for a camera. The only bellroy offerings dont seem to have the mag clasp

[@paigalina129]

I get the sour candy as an everyday carry item. I carry strawberry altoids mints for when I am anxious, plus they are tasty 😋

[@wilkstheguitarman3103]

I love this channel. Thank you for doing this

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@_pratos]

I purchased a Bellroy sling coz of your first video! Loved this video too!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@idkofany]

The sitting on the sunglasses line made me laugh out loud. Great video, thank you!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks!!

[@eneastwood1785]

Ironic the video before this in my feed was about men needing to stop wearing sling bags … perfect timing lol

[@nintendonintendont]

Real Men Real Style?

[@eneastwood1785]

@@nintendonintendontyes lol … I’m glad someone else has the same feed as me

[@ChrisDinGR]

At my age 35 I dont give a f for what people think. I need practicality more than style for edc. I prefer a backpack belroy has few good ones too. It depends what you carry

[@SourPlanet]

People will put out content about anything. Imagine caring if a dude straps on a bag.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Carry what you like, not what anyone else says you should or shouldn't

[@HEYitsTRAV]

Bellroy has some killer minimal wallets. Their Card Sleeve and the Slim Sleeve are two of my favorites!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Haven’t tried their wallets, good to know!

[@eitherorbooks]

I bought a 6L bellroy venture sling to replace a nylon purse I'd had for probably close to 20 years. I really like it, especially how it expands and flattens. I keep a silly little arsenal of edc stuff in there: swiss army knife, zippo, sunscreen, protein bar, sunglasses, airpods, paper towels, a micron, and my favorite wallet of all time that I'll try to use as long as possible: a one piece leather wallet from loyal stricklin. It's the perfect size and the patina is nice, people always ask me about it. Sometimes I'll also carry my hobonichi planner and my ereader/a book. It even fits an umbrella or full size camping water bottle.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Love that. Yeah I'm always so satisfied with how much I can actually fit in here when I have to.

[@mrgripcut]

Ordered!

[@MartinTabanag]

love it!

[@Mileko-fv5pb]

First off, love the long hair!!! Second, the bag looks great, very simple and basic. Thx for the info.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Hey thanks!

[@TinLe-sq1oq]

Dang didn't know you're an ITX guy too. Appreciate that Fractal Terra in the background.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Yeah I love it, Fractal makes top tier cases

[@SeanOulashin]

Love this. I’ve been using a smaller sling bag for my EDC but have been looking for something a little bigger!

[@NicholasGarofola]

If you're looking for a 7L, give this a shot

[@marywall5262]

Thank you for a perfectly timed video! I am a minimalist/essentialist daily commuter, and wearing a backpack has always made me feel like someone was going to run up behind me and steal my bag. But a sling bag eases that anxiety, and keeps my essentials " essential".

[@raksh9]

A good point is that the larger the bag, the easier it is to load with more than you need. A discreet sling bag keeps things manageable and secure. You can even wear a slim sling under your jacket.

[@ns2953]

That's really useful ❄️😇✌🏼

[@david_does]

I have a Bellroy venture sling that is very similar to this. It my current favorite.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I'm sure that one is awesome, never used it myself though

[@caratcake7704]

It's funny you mentioned the sour candy for anxiety tip because a girl at work told me about that same thing this morning. I gotta try it!

[@isaultra3405]

Does only SOUR candy work?

[@caratcake7704]

@@isaultra3405 I mean... Medication probably helps too..... Dumb joke I know.. I really have no other input but mental training and working on my positive outlook to overcome unavoidable situations at work and such

[@scavenger1362]

My Go Ruck GR1 21L is for stuff that’s good to have, will help me get home, but don’t need on a daily. First aid, power bank, reusable towel, spare key, flashlight, gloves, lighter, etc. If I had to recommend something, it would be a hero clip. They’re good if you want to hang your bag somewhere that doesn’t have hooks, especially a bathroom stall.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Gonna look into that clip!

[@BenEdwards984]

I love your channel and bought the Sling Lite because of it - I couldn't be happier with it! FYI, if you don't already know, Bellroy put another pocket on the inside, which is ideal for Bluetooth headphones. While wearing the bag, unzip it, and on the far left behind the Bellroy tag, locate the pocket - it's against the side rather than the front or back. Anyway, it's super useful, keeps your headphones safe, and frees up space in other compartments. Hope this helps anyone unaware of it. I didn't know at first!

[@NicholasGarofola]

I didn't know that but sounds awesome. Hope you're enjoying it!!

[@BenEdwards984]

@@NicholasGarofola it’s great. I’m now going to fill my free pocket with sour sweets - I had no idea they can help with anxiety. Thanks for the tip!

[@michaelbevan1081]

Nice to see you still uploading Nick. I did used to carry a usb around; though that’s a thing of the past. I do carry on my key chain, a ‘ cart boss.’ I don’t really like carrying loot dollar coins. So I carry my cart boss just in case I have to randomly go to the grocery store and need a shopping cart

[@Tommydabomby]

I have never heard of a cart boss until this comment. Looked it up and that is awesome. Buying it now.

[@michaelbevan1081]

@@Tommydabomby there great. No need for coins

[@NicholasGarofola]

I looked this up after reading your comment that's a genius idea!!

Milkita from Indonesia mentioned 😤🔥 it is actually pretty delicious

[@Gitesh-pf4dd]

Can you make a video on the tools you use and why as a minimalist and an essentialist

[@isaultra3405]

I ❤ your setup🖒 I have a similar bag 😀 no water bottle? It's my must have. plus emergency candy to not get hangry 😈

[@NicholasGarofola]

Good call!

I have 2 of them 😅

[@gabewally]

I have the same wallet. 👌

[@NicholasGarofola]

It's the best!

[@Kyla94934]

Would that magnetic clasp make it easier for someone to snatch it off of you?

[@NicholasGarofola]

The keychain magnet is crazy strong, and has to be pulled in a specific angle, the bag magnet clasp, same deal for the most part

[@kieljacinto3509]

im just curious how minimalist wash their car. im practice minimalism but for myself i know im just a half. i can't do full minimalist lifestyle coz im still side of my parent house. just how to care the use minimalist lifestyle , or maintaining we know its part to be frugal so probably we don't go to car wash shop.

[@andrewehyang]

Oh my gosh I thought this was talking about the music festival 😂

Hey Nicholas will you do any gaming videos on your other channel? Gameplays would be awesome and very relaxing hearing you coment etc Thanks

Any optician would be happy to tighten up or even replace the nose pads on your glasses, even if they’re not Rx/you didn’t buy them there. If it’s not free, go somewhere else. It’s also a good opportunity to get a health check on your eyes, even if your vision is good!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Good to know!

7l

[@Gamaware]

im curious to know why do you carry your mouse to work? don't they have a mouse at the office?

[@Oscarito_us]

I do this also and I personally just like to use my own specific mouse.

@@Oscarito_us yeah. I guess

[@NicholasGarofola]

The one at my job isn't wireless, which isn't a big deal but it also takes a lot of force to click which after several hours makes my hand cramp

Can you do a video on your PC build next?

[@NicholasGarofola]

Sure thing! Maybe on my gaming channel though.

[@jordibarguno]

Out of curiosity, why a 7 L sling? You don't carry much. Why not a smaller sling?

[@JoeLopez]

Sometimes it good to have the room if you need it

[@chrismarko9957]

Probably the iPad mini caused him to carry the larger sling
