Health and happiness to you all!
Satisfaction 💚 & Soundness 💪💡 to U
Rob Greenfield and to you! Thanks for all you do. You’ve made a difference in my life, and many others I’m sure.
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!
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!
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.
thank you
Bro is a living legend
I absolutely love this. I wish happiness for him as well.
He is humanity’s brother
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.
I find you incredibly inspiring, thank you so much!
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 !
Dam here , he has positive energy and great view of how beautiful life can be🙏
So true. Thankyou.
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.
Thank you !
Surprised by some of the negative comments. He's wrong because it's not how you do it?
I'm so glad And absolutely appreciate this video I've been seeing this for many years people Either called me crazy out loud or thought it Silently I know in my heart Individualty Is the greatest illusion👍🏿
So the pot has never been used the bottom has no discoloration from heat and as another comment said no sleeping bag?
With your Clothing and Lifestyle and Philosophy You’re like a Beautiful Watercolor Painting! ... Soothing and Peaceful yet Stirring Up a Deep Emotional Response! ...You’re a Complete Inspiration 😊🙏
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.
I am curious about a sleeping bag ?
Rob caught my attention when he was 'plastic man' and has been a source of inspiration to me ever since! :)
SpartaAAaaaaan
I really admire you so much Iv been working on my minimal journey and hopefully one day I wish to be like you everything in a bag , keep up the good work x
I love your Philosophy
5:13 I agree with all this philosophy, but you don't need shampoo and conditioner when you are bold, that is obvious 😃
I love this channel.
Amazing! Totally eco friendly life style! Great!
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
I don't monetize RUclips. 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!
@@Robin.Greenfield Unfortunately, there are 3 ads on this video of yours.
Isabelle Zablocki this video isn’t posted from his channel
This man is a legend.
- 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...
yes not everybody think like you, thank you for sharing and god bless you and keep you save and healthy .
Preach this!!!
To upload a RUclips video takes a whole country of machinery and infrastructure!
👍
Amazing lecture
so were do you sleep?
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.
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.
@@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!
Socks & Sandals? I will pray for you.
I'll PR🙏Y for him as well; in JEHOVAH CHRIST JE'SUS'S HOLY NAME. 😳
So in addition to your minimal belongings you need a train to take a nap in? Where does that come from?
And I thought my life was comparably minimal. But it doesn't even remotely come close to his level.
44 went up to 50 :). thanks for posting!! the kids are growing a balcony garden and love recycling and reusing!
5:50 almost all dental floss contain bad shit
Bulevar Knjiga he uses silk
@@lisaerdahl2654 where can I find that natural silk floss?
Sanatana Dharma has all this inbuilt.
If I were you I use the clothes bag or big pullover as a pillow, to take surely instead medicals, rain & bad weather gear, gloves, cap, blanket.
We are praying God's protection cover you.!!! You are so............... Awesome.!!! We love you.!!! Blessings & Much love.
No sleepn bag or shelter??
Ginger, garlic and what else?
tumeric ( he had a piece of tumeric root I think, not the powdered spice.)
Rob,
You will get there, no passport, no birth certificate and no computer! I love your sense of interdependency as a healthy thing.
Of course he has a computer!
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!
But then you support the usurious banking industry
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.
Finally a minimalist which is not all going in black 🙂 Great example green looks really good 🌱
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.
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
Some profound stuff here! The other "system" we ultimately DON'T need, is religion. Cosmic consciousness is where it's at.
Or just philosophy
Marc McRae@ Where do ANY of US get our Cosmic CONSCIOUSNESS from; it's from the (CREATOR JEHOVAH) of Heaven and Earth, DON’T get it TWISTED we All NEED CHRIST JE'SUS ALL US, whose BREATH you think, 🤔 think you're BREATHING. Genesis 1:1 📖
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..😥
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.
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
I’m curious if you follow a spiritual tradition and if so would you feel comfortable sharing it with us?
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.
You are not happy!
You sound so toxic, angry and sad at the same time - jealousy doesn’t suit anyone. 🙏🏻💚
@@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.
I don't want to be mean but he should try being vegan for the environment AND the animals.
