Health and happiness to you all!

Satisfaction 💚 & Soundness 💪💡 to U

[@lisaerdahl2654]

Rob Greenfield and to you! Thanks for all you do. You’ve made a difference in my life, and many others I’m sure.

[@rootedways]

Thank you so much Rob - every few months I come back and watch more videos from you. I love what you say about our interdependence, it's so true!

[@Saiarts_yt]

You are like a real life protagonist from the movie Into The Wild, Kevin Supertramp. I have so many questions about minimalism and what you do in your day to day life. Earth like our mother, I appreciate everything this planet provides for us. I appreciate the voice you raise all over the internet. I hope you have a great days ahead!

[@potbellyfatguyfromnewyorkcity]

get rid of the backpack and get a travel vest ala scottevest so now you have even less as you MUST wear a shirt anyway so why have the backpack as an extra possession? replace your current shirt/sweater with a wearable vest or hoodie with tons of storage.

[@theoldaccountthatiusedtous6767]

There's something about the way you present your lifestyle that doesn't make me feel bad... I have the same values and am learning a lot from you, but I don't feel bad about myself in comparison. When I first started decluttering my stuff many moons ago, I was expecting uncover what really matters and who I really am... and I did, but there was trauma in the way. It sucked for a number of years. To anyone on this journey, be kind to yourself if this happens. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

[@BrentReynoldsvsm]

thank you

[@robertwhelan9132]

I absolutely love this. I wish happiness for him as well.

[@JenniferWilliams-cg4ev]

You are awesome!

It's funny how he is accused of being a freeloader whereas it's actually the rest of us living a lifestyle at the expense of future generations and the global South.

So true. Thankyou.

[@RC-qf3mp]

I admire his lifestyle and dedication. if everybody lived this way, the economy would collapse. Nobody to buy most of what most people do all day to make a level. Makes you wonder what people would do instead. No a criticism. Or rather, a criticism of our economy.

Wonderful ! Watched several of Rob'd vids today, it has lifted me out of a Baaaad mood. Am amazed he can live with no phone. Love you, Rob !

Surprised by some of the negative comments. He's wrong because it's not how you do it?

[@lukeford5970]

So the pot has never been used the bottom has no discoloration from heat and as another comment said no sleeping bag?

[@BeeUndercover]

Rob caught my attention when he was 'plastic man' and has been a source of inspiration to me ever since! :)

[@michellerose8787]

I am curious about a sleeping bag ?

[@WeAreBullets]

if i could carry my bookshelves in my backpack then maybe i could be on his level 😂😅 but i suppose there are different forms of minimalism. like Konmari says how some categories of possessions will be smaller than other categories for diff ppl. but im also really drawn to this extreme level of minimalism. monks and hermits have lived this way since the beginning of time. one of the books on my precious bookshelf of prized books is Understanding Media by Marshall McLuhan, a brilliant man worth a listen.

[@PsychologicalApparition]

It isn't for everyone. We shouldn't compare :P Well... There is only one Robin, and I believe he is doing the job well of which he came to do on this Earth ... He's the extreme example, but if we make even the smallest arrangements in our lifestyles, then we are still making change

[@rudyleal5884]

Im just curious where the revenue that he earns from youtube goes to if he doesnt have a savings or checking account. I really enjoy his videos and have learned from him. Glad he is around spreading such good energy

[@Robin.Greenfield]

I don't monetize KZbin. That's why you don't see ads on any of my videos. :) Here is an article I wrote with more details: www.robgreenfield.org/financialtransparency/ Sending love to you!

I love your Philosophy

[@brunodunshee8937]

- I've bem followin many of your vídeos , and being inspired. Mostly for having the courage to have a intentional life! I've being doing that to. The thing is that, some times i see my self doing things, that money allows me. And some times , doing things to earn the Money i need, to do other things i want. I see that as , a dilema of the modern world. The chalenge to find balance betwin the goal and the process...

You’re a true example for all of us Rob. Just curious to know how you hop from continent to continent. Greetings from the country you are in when filming this clip.

[@jamesclaire115]

Rob, how do you record and upload you videos to You Tube? I am impressed with your basic concepts in life. I thought l had a simple and meaningful life but I am nothing close to you. Be blessed and continue you great mission to others.

[@HILARI333]

@@jamesclaire115 I have the same questions for him ! With no phone, how does he record? Seems like another person is often doing it for him...perhaps on their device? Yes, we are interdependent!

Of course he has a computer!

[@noname-uf4je]

many many peoples in asia and africa live their lives with approximately the same set of items. maybe there are a little more of items than the author, but peoples live just such a simple life because they cannot afford another. people in the west are putting on a show of a lifestyle that is the only one possible for billions of poor people from Africa and Asia. when "you" have an ultra-rich society around you, you can put on a show like this video. WHEN 99% of people around you live the same way as the author because there is simply “no money” - it’s not fun at all - at all! circus

And I thought my life was comparably minimal. But it doesn't even remotely come close to his level.

[@lindag1372]

I love his philosophy. He is a St. Francis of Assisi, the only difference is St. Francis would have a bible as his only book and he would feed on Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. The true source of Love Joy and Peace.

[@benwlan]

Finally a minimalist which is not all going in black 🙂 Great example green looks really good 🌱

tumeric ( he had a piece of tumeric root I think, not the powdered spice.)

[@johnmoore5293]

Great video! I would sleep better if you put most of your money in a bank and carried a little cash and a debit card. It is lighter, smaller, and if you lost it / got it stolen you could report the card stolen, freeze assets and you wouldn't lose everything. Thank you for everything you share with us!

[@andrewpalim1978]

But then you support the usurious banking industry

[@kutayecevit4125]

with all respect to your advice. This is a way of approaching life for him. He even helped the guy who stole his bamboo bycycle. (most valiable piece of his life for him at the moment) . You will understand if you watch the video.

[@MarcMcRae]

Some profound stuff here! The other "system" we ultimately DON'T need, is religion. Cosmic consciousness is where it's at.

[@arnaudrobillart9724]

Or just philosophy

[@dineshrahulvadlamudi2127]

Here in India most of the migrant laborers are much more minimalist than him but they were out of their poverty not as a lifestyle

[@Juliukas101]

Something seems rather disingenuous about this. Some people might want to go wiping their ass with leaves and thinking that tipping a bowl of rainwater over them is taking a shower - well it isn't! That said, I think there are elements of this lifestyle that many more people could implement - growing vegetables and fruit trees etc - they don't have to take it to extremes.

[@BetterYouBetterWorld]

To upload a KZbin video takes a whole country of machinery and infrastructure!

[@wolfgangzeiler2605]

So in addition to your minimal belongings you need a train to take a nap in? Where does that come from?

[@thedjc100]

I’m curious if you follow a spiritual tradition and if so would you feel comfortable sharing it with us?

[@pompeymik]

If it weren't so bloody cold and my lungs weren't buggered, I'd be out in the woods, somewhere near the sea..but beer and probably cannabis would be must, and that shit is expensive! So actually I'll probably just die at work one day..😥

[@tizmon]

i am happy to realize that i have 100 times more items than you but have complete control of them so i am in complete control of my life. i use all the items i own and need so i am living a life of minimalism without depending on other people for things you refuse to own but need. owning a camera is a good starting point to show the world that you are willing to be independent for someone in your line of work. i mean you can own nothing if you lived with your mama right now. is it ok to borrow a shack from a friend if he is not your mother? these people let you live in their land because they own it by buying it and paying taxes for it annually. you are taking advantage of your friends’ resources and social resources that they belong to. own a house on a land and pay all the necessities and count them as your possessions and live minimally. a lot of people do that already. you just wanted to be original. even while using other people’s possessions. living with 50 items is easy. every homeless in the world do it. doing so while being independent is precious but you are not. you are just another homeless without calling yourself so. donating money and choosing to live without your own roof over your head doesn’t make you not a homeless.

[@bojanbarisic3378]

You are not happy!

[@oliviaphoenixpark7344]

You sound so toxic, angry and sad at the same time - jealousy doesn’t suit anyone. 🙏🏻💚

[@benedicthaydn-davies1740]

@@oliviaphoenixpark7344 I'm not sure @tizmon does sound jealous, or toxic, or angry or sad, or were you referring to Bojan Barisic? If so, my error. Furthermore, it seems strange to insult someone and then put 'prayer hands' and a green heart afterwards. There is a sort of cognitive dissonance to that. Many of the points he/she makes are clearly valid. It would be difficult to support the elderly, the sick, or any children (or for that matter friends who do not 'have' a house but want to plug in their laptop), without having shelter, money, medical equipment etc. He does not have 'the police' as a possession, but certainly benefits from their service in terms of safety sleeping on trains, and, say, the fire department and schools in his country, that allow for his friends to have houses that are built safely. I respect his values, but I think there is an academically valid point being made by tizmon about the 'universalisability' of so called 'minimalism' - for example - think of the complex interdependent institutions that need to exist for the construction and design of his computer, and the servers and infrastructures needed for the internet. I'm not knocking the guy, but I'm not knocking @tizmon either - both seem to offer something to the dialectic.
