Hey everyone. My name is Nick and here on my channel we talk about minimalism, and ways of living an intentional life. I try to make my videos as informative, and fun as possible. If you want to join this adventure, make sure to subscribe and we'll see where this journey takes us.

Brilliant video.... it's so good to see a person with a realistic EDC that most of us can afford. Respect for keeping it real, and not jamming sponsorsd items down our throats like so many others do.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much! Yes and honest EDC and nothing else 😄

It's a comment not about minimalism specifically, but I'm from Ukraine and I can tell you that it appeared to be very important to live as a minimalist, it's good to have all your essential/key things literally in a backpack (not only docs/money/devices but also some minimum clothes and even food/snacks). I know people who lost everything and they run out of a flat/building without anything (even without shoes) after an air attack. I started thinking what is the point to collect things that you won't take with you in case of an emergency. But if you're a minimalist, then it's easier to get used to a simple lifestyle, if you need tons of things to feel comfortable, then you're at high risk. So the conclusion is evident - live simple. Thank you for the video!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you for watching. ❤️🇺🇦

[@lorigreer2424]

My heart breaks for your country and people. Such a senseless war! I am amazed and inspired by the Ukrainian people. Glory to Ukraine

[@leviathanspirit3185]

You are an inspiration. I've had the same phone for three years. That's one of my proudest frugal accomplishments. I'm watching this on it right now. I have gotten my worth and more out of it. And when the time comes to let it go I'll know I'm just fine.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I love that, if it’s not broke don’t fix it right? 😊

[@caratcake7704]

I recently got a Thread Wallet since I always kept downsizing my card wallet and I absolutely love it. My cards are snug as a bug and I can clip it on my keys

[@AhmetKaan]

*Every family has a person who breaks the chain of poverty and exceeds every expectation possible...* I hope you be that person my friend. 🖤

[@emotionsickchick]

Fellow sunglass-junkie here and also a new subscriber! I'm quite certain that the only time I don't have my sunglasses with me is if I've gone out somewhere when it was already dark. My eyes are extremely sensitive to even the faintest bit of light and even on a grey and overcast day, I'm squinting and my eyes are watering without them. I truly don't know how anyone can be outside on a day that's the least bit sunny and not have sunglasses. I generally wear a pair to death and then try to replace them with another pair as close to them as I can get.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Hi! I definitely know the feeling. And thanks for subscribing!

[@eladhzx]

Must tell you that you must continue with these types of videos. I love it! I like it very much and I gave you a thumbs up

[@lowwastehighmelanin]

I just upgraded to the 13 mini from an iPhone 11 which was hurting my wrists. It fits in my women’s pants pockets. I cannot recommend it enough for physical downsizing. Its the size the 5s was and now my wrists don’t hurt. I hope to keep it for many years! I also got a basic leather case with magsafe so I can still charge it. Should age nicely. Worth it haha

[@NicholasGarofola]

The 5s was absolutely my favorite iPhone! MagSafe is awesome too

[@quibler7]

This guy is my favourite now ♥️

[@camusic200]

If you ever buy another water bottle, I've had the Thermos 24 ounce for years and I love it. It's got a lock feature and a carry loop. My husband always has a carabiner too and he will keep the bottle on his belt loop when he's working or on his backpack when we're hiking. It doesn't smell either. (:

[@dianapeshan2162]

I never comment on your videos but this time I will, I really like your channel, the topics and your editing, thank you for such good content!

[@kingspina1781]

Stop trying pretend your a hipster minimalist, minimalist means as little as possible. I only carry phone and keys. 95 percent of people carry less then this guy. Not sorry this is facts. Literally stop lieing to yourself

[@Audisebas21]

Dude it’s scary that we have the same edc and I live in Naples Florida 😂 love the minimalistic lifestyle bro. Ur vids are hella inspiring and has a great vibe. I deleted social media because it was really consuming me. I’m an artist here in the city and it made me really look back at my job. I wish you luck dude and mikasa really is goated with odm gear. Cheers bro 🙌🏻

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@owenclemons]

love the watch, never really have been into analog non-smart watches until now!

[@dennis07reyes]

Hey, that's the same wallet I have! Regarding your worries about the cash, alongside the strap you put the cash in the little pocket the wallet has.

[@harroldsbox4505]

Love your videos! Would it be possible if you could talk about more of stoicism? I’d love to hear your thoughts and what books would you recommend to learn about stoicism? :)

[@NicholasGarofola]

I wanna do book reviews in the future, and I’ve read some stoicism books so I could elaborate on this 😄

I thought I was the only one who used a plain solid color background on my phone. Mines is sage green. 😄

[@NicholasGarofola]

Oh that probably looks nice!

[@chelseaburnham1989]

I used to carry my AirPods inside my bag or purse until recently when I purchased a case with a keychain attached. Then I clipped it to the outside of my work bag for quick access. Unfortunately, the case wasn’t very secure and I ended up losing the left airpod, so just be careful.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Good to know!

[@andiedealessio1693]

iPhone X was/is my fave phone

[@fluffyspark798]

I don’t use sunglasses but I use keys AirPods phone wallet and I might add a knife and a water bottle too

[@NecroZeno]

I had a wallet like that one years ago. I ended up putting the cash inside the wallet. I ended up replacing it later that year due to the strap snapping off from the seams.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Not a fan of this wallet to be honest

[@eladhzx]

Do you wear the watch regularly? how do you exercise And do you go into the water and shower with it? A stunning watch

[@NicholasGarofola]

Always wear it, don't in the shower though it is water resistant

[@Killadelphia_]

Did you ever change wallets? I got a ridge recently & it's pretty decent. Love the quality & finish. I might switch to Aviator wallets around black friday. They're pretty much the ridge wallet, but the cards go in vertically & has a pull tab. There's also an opening on one side to slide a card out with your thumb.

[@NicholasGarofola]

The wallet in this video sucks frankly. I have a Ridge wallet now 👍🏻

[@miguelvelascotanv6745]

I subscribed the moment I saw Mikasa

hey man, great video. just wanted to say that for safety reasons, you probably shouldn't show your keys online. ;)

Nothing, still have it and love it!

[@libria]

Just searching for a great water bottle. Thank you for your video 🙂

[@NicholasGarofola]

My pleasure 😊

[@HEYitsTRAV]

Do you still do concealed carry? I figure you probably do but left it out of this video because it can be a controversial topic and may drive some of the potential audience away. I’d be curious to see what tools you carry and such for that. Take care!

[@NicholasGarofola]

I don't so much anymore these days. I sold everything aside from one small piece that mostly stays in the house

[@irfanfiq_]

Can you provide us with the wallpaper that blends in with the bottom tab..? That looks sick.

In your opinion, does minimalism also mean spending less ?

Partially, at least in my version of minimalism I do tend to spend less than I did before.

I don’t remember 😅 try googling transparent grey wallpaper

[@laumichael1038]

You should try to care your stuffs. And I don't think minialism is simply small or less things to carry. I think pick up the best tool if you need it and cut all other things that you don't need in daily drive. And I think a purse is important for guys need it, don't trust the rubber band on that purse otherwise you will lose the money one day. But except guy are real minimalism most people still need a watch while they already got the phone to check time. So why don't you try to take care your watch and other EDC stuffs and just shopping some your favors to please youself in daily life while show other people your personality.😊

Thanks for the feedback!
