there is something very different about you. You're not like so called 'breath of fresh air'. You're like 'breath of normal air but super chill and no particular agenda to prove'. Its refreshing! Kudos!!
I've been binge-watching all your videos over the past few days, you have a great personality!
Why thank you, peachgirl! 😊
I agree. Mesmerizing
same! I'm so glad I found this channel because it has very interesting content; completely different from anything else I've seen.
Me too! Binged all together.
It' great content!
everyone is thinking the same thing
_"do i save my incense sticks or do i let my house burn with a lovely aroma?"_
Just grab a cup of tea and say everything is fine.
...and there's the Brit. ;-)
This is fine.

The fire started from the electric kettle
This has actually been an obsessive thought of mine since I was around 12. Having our home destroyed by a fire is my worst case scenario, I still run through my “save list” on a monthly basis. Over the years I’ve narrowed it down to: Family, pets, document box (because, though not impossible, it would be a pain in the butt to get all our certificates replaced), phones, laptops. The list used to be a lot longer but, not surprisingly, it was easy to cut down once I actively started practicing minimalism and releasing my emotional attachment to objects. Even if we do loose everything, I’ve finally feel like I’m in a mental place where I could deal with it, as long as all our family is safe! Love all your videos!!!
Hannah Amos I obsessed over this when I was really young but that was so long ago. I wonder why it stuck around for you into adulthood. It’s a complex trauma to contemplate, but usually the fascination dissipates over time. Seems like we just worry about random shit our whole lives and that’s what holds people back.
When I was young I actually thought that if my house would have burnt, I would be okay with. That's probably because I always felt like I have too much stuff, but didn't know how to get rid of all of it. If my house would have burnt, I wouldn't have to think about it (I know it's kinda not okay but I was young 🤷♀️)
Well first I would grab my fiance because he could sleep through anything.
my too😉😁
Haha thats so me
Funny
I'm like that. I sleep through everything. Maybe I should get a boyfriend, as a matter of saftey. 😐
I literally found you about two hours ago, and I am crushin' HARD.
🙃
A H H S AM E
Seriously same 😂
Same....
I'm not sure what it is but it has me in a constant state of confusion and desire to come back for more
Actually had a house fire several years ago. The home was a total loss. Unbelievable how quickly flames engulf everything. There is no time to go get things you think you want to save. You get your family (and pets if you have them) and get out!
That is sad. I hope everything is fine
Exactly
I'm sorry you had to go through this! I on the other hand had an accident and lost my health for a while, I kinda consider my body my home (No I'm not homeless it's just my mind lives in my body) and it was a very tough experience
I second the motion, Laura. Fire can spread so fast. I heard that from an expert that if a fire can't be contained in 30 seconds--get out ASAP.
Had the same experience. Glad we were all safe and shit. At that point, you realize what's important in life is life and friends who can donate their clothes and blankets.
wait so I wasnt supposed to burn my house down?
I would save
1. my cat
2. my desktop pc
I feel you on the PC, but first thing I'd think about is my credit cards, then the PC. If my place was burning down I'd need help, and nobody helps you if you're poor.
@@couleurful phone's stored with the cards in my case anyway
sometimes i can't understand what are you saying through echo of your house :(
(but i love how funny your videos are)
Yes! Please, I need HELP! Can anyone recommend a mic / audio set up of some sort? I keep reading contradicting reviews and don't know who to trust...
Lefie I’m a multimedia journalist, and I record audio in my phone with a lavaliere mic and then match it up with the on-camera audio in post production.
@@Lefie putting more stuff in your house will reduce the echo :P
@Jason Packer I'm using a Sony A7iii.
@Jason Packer This is the right answer. Although the echo of your house will always be troublesome. Maybe the lavalier mic would be better in those cases since the camera is far away, but I'd still try it out first with the Rode.
I live in Northern California, and had to make this decision last November.
1. My kids,
2. then pets and supplies
3. Photos and documents
4. Due to textile allergies, I had to pack my clothes too.
5. Quilts
Luckily, I only had to evacuate for one night. My house remained safe.
I've actually gone through this process in the face of a hurricane (we saved the kids.) Afterwards I saw no reason to replace all the stuff. My husband wanted to replace it all with way bigger stuff. Marriage ended. Stuff. ✌
Stuff. ✌️
you've gained 8k since i started following you last week. I'm so impressed & you absolutely deserve it! :)
update: she's gained 7k more since I made this comment? shook
I don't understand how its even possible.. with this few videos..
@@sainaganbold2142 This channel has been recommended to be by other similar channels
WHERE ARE THEY ALL COMING FROM, rynadin?!?!
Lefie well deserved channel growth
The videos and channel are showing up as recommended, I generally watch prepper shows, scammers getting scammed, how to adhd, and some other randomness and this showed up. There’s another who is extreme minimalist who is showing up too but she’s not as relatable IMO
why am i developing a crush on this woman oml-
IKR every time she winks I feel attacked
But I like it
Same
same
really enjoy watching your videos! super concise yet unique concept, so different from any other youtube videos I've watched. Keep up the awesome work!
I would take my cat and my stuffed animal that I have since I'm 5 or 6 years old. Everything else is pretty much replacable.
That reminds me that I should backup my photos online.
Lokoschade Glad I'm not the only one who would get the stuffed animal. And I need to backup my important stuff too. ^^
My mom keeps a fire bag!! It’s a bag she can quickly grab with clothes, baby photos, important documents, etc.
Two words about you videos......... very very entertaining.........still practicing my minimalism
your videos are perfect little nuggets of cool ideas that come at exactly the right moment in my life
So happy to have found this channel 🙏
Love your channel! It's the only channel that is good enough for me to actually click on the notifications bell!
I am so glad i found your channel! I have been watching you for a little over a month now, and you quickly turned into one of my favorite youtubers:)
big dwight energy
Marry me please. You are such a precious human being. Wonderful content!
Wow! 20K! I was here when you had around 500! Great, people see your quality! I love how you always make us wonder about life. That is your magic. Thank you for that!
It's so much easier these days when much of our sentimental stuff is stored online. Just remember your Google password and you're OK.
Great channel but please buy a mic. It would really improve your videos.
1. my dogs
2. SO
I'm kind of a prepper, so I have my important docs in a fire/ waterproof box that I can either take or leave behind. docs like passport birth certificate etc are so hard to get and especially after a traumatic event I don't wanna be spending precious energy on acquiring them all over.
I HAD A FIRE!... by the way... it moves so quick you don’t have time to think about objects you have 5 minutes to grab and go. Until it happened, I had this idea I’d grab XYZ in a fire... I always thought I’d grab my purse and my dogs paw print and this frog that my grandma gave me... but you know what?! I caught my oven on fire cuz there was this pizza box I didn’t know was there. However, I didn’t think I could stop the fire and all I could think was about my three pets and my husband. I didn’t give a shit about the rest of the house! I wanted my loved ones safe. I think I did grab my purse but it was on the way out the door
Just binge-watched all of your videos. Defo see this channel being huge in the future, keep it up! Such a fresh look on life
btw what's your job?
would love to hear more about your design job! and how you approach design from a minimalist approach? keep up the good work :))
So, I should have watched the video before burning down my home?
On the real life note, if my house were burning I would probably assess the situation, make sure my family is safe, and see if it is something I can handle. If I cannot handle putting it out, I would either run to my neighbors house to call the towns fire department, or run/ride my bike as fast I can to the fire house.
I feel like the public needs a video of Lefie playing the accordion.
Priorities... you fucking rule. Love from Argentina
This channel is actually great. Started downsizing this year and really discovering some basic minimalism. Definitely inspired to clear out again when I move next month.
Love your content! If I may give a little suggestion: Could you try to somehow slightly improve the audio in non-voiceover parts? I feel they get quite echoey. Probably some sort of external mic (shotgun or lav) would get rid of that problem quite easily. Otherwise really love your style and perspective!
I’m super lucky I found your channel! Btw you are beautiful.
Gee, thanks, IronCloud! 😊
I love your video and your minimalism! Not girly things, not girly pink etc. You are so cool! Seems like the other minimalism male RUclipsr! My question is why do you started minimalism? Greetings love from Germany ❤️
During a cross country move in a howling winter storm of snow and ice, I watched our moving truck flip and roll, which was being driven by 2 loved ones. NOT A SINGLE OBJECT in the truck mattered when compared to the value of human life. Both loved ones walked away from that incident miraculously. I've also experienced the aftermath of a house fire which happened when I was not home. In the end, things are things. Memories are yours to keep. Loved ones are irreplacable (people, animals, plants)...
She too smooth with that outro😂😂
My backpack is always packed for school, so I'd probably try to grab that if could. Realistically though, above else, I would be prioritizing getting my pets, even over my own safety.
Truth be told, I think about this every month or so. I’d take my cat (first and foremost), my gray folder (all my important documents), and a tiny box that has all the sentimental things from my childhood. It may seem silly, but I hold onto my childhood with a relentless grip. It’s what I miss the most in life, and what makes me smile on the worst of days. My clothes, my tech, and everything else can burst into flames, I don’t care. Lol
Just seen this.....strange but interesting. Saving stuff sometimes is helpful, but I would save my cat Queen and electric guitar
This channel is SO DAMN GOOD. You've definitely earned my subscription.
I have thought about this off and on for years. I’m in Year 9 of my minimalist journey though I backslide. I have taken pix of all my most prized possessions that aren’t living beings like my Great Grandmother’s bowl and my mother’s Mary and baby Jesus statue etc. If something happens, at least I will still have an image.
This video came up at the right time it seems. I just stopped with my current studies, and I will work... I have never worked before, and somehow it feels a bit depressing, like it's a step down from university. Okay, I am rambling. Point is I really liked what you said at the end, 'What's the stuff you actually value?'. I am going to be thinking about that... Thank you
I'd get my cat out the house and then waltz right back in and bask in the flames
@*Gasp AHHHahahahaha, yesss!
I know what I would grab if there was a fire. I've known for years. 4 things.
1-laptop bag (contains laptop, charger, usbs and some pens and notebook)
2- handbag (contains wallet, phone, portable charger and keys)
3- accordion folder that contains all my paperwork.
4- My overnight/emergency bag (contains 2 sets of clothes and basic toiletries) I always have this packed in case I need to go somewhere. I don't like to suddenly have to pack things so I consider it necessary for my life. I have used this bag many times.
I have tried to live minimally for several years now. I consider these 4 objects to be my most important as I can live off only these. Whilst they do contain other things, I like the simplicity of only ever having to grab 4 things rather than bundle everything up to go anywhere.
Hi! I'm from Brazil and I just discovered your channel. Your videos are really interesting and I've been loving it. Still if I could ask one thing for you, it would be buy a microfone. I don't know how you record your videos, but whitout the headfone it's hard to listen what you say because of the echoes.
I'm sorry for my bad English and I hope you keep doing videos. Have a good day!
My only things I would grab is my two cats (irreplacable), and my purse (identification). That's it. Everything else can be replaced. I don't have any physical items that are one of a kind or are sentimental to me. I'm sitting here looking around my apartment, and I honestly can't pick out one item that I would truly be heartbroken to have to give up. (Dont get me wrong, all of my stuff has function or makes me happy, but it's just stuff.)
I would grab my ID and my three cats. And probably my phone, because it's in my pocket anyways😅 That's all and I'm not a minimalist.
That's weird... The burning house idea is actually what I did when I was a kid tidying my room for the night. I always prepped a bag with my favorite toy, book and snacks and put it next to my bed, just in case something happened... Looking back, I guess I was pretty aware as a child !
my pet snake (Nettle) and my current sketchbook. ...and my phone and purse if the is time.
Your channel is so refreshing! After being bombarded with content that's filled with over used color correction, blaring background music, obnoxious humor and constant advertisement placement or the good ol "subscribe, like and comment" lines. It's a breath of fresh air when something like this exists. I'm glad i stumbled upon your channel.
Side note. I found it odd at first when you sign off with "Til next time" and click your tongue. Since that's how I usually say a farewell to someone. Just one of those small things
Your videos are so calming for my anxiety, except this one haha. Of course I did get anxious thinking about my house burning and what will I take (my camera, I am photographer and I am poor so I cannot invest another 4,000 dollars on a camera and lens)
I think anything other than my income and passion source, I could let the rest burn. It will be hard to start over but I will be fine. Makes me think about all of the things I own but I can live without. Thank you for another wonderful video!
I love these videos but PLEASE consider using a lavaliere microphone!! So that we can hear you properly without a echoes
Oops, this has been in my thought since 12 when the apartment building beside ours burned and the next year the other side building burned too. I'm 27 now, and maybe that's why the thought of minimalism appealed to me so much. Well, if ever there will be fire, I don't think I will be ever be prepared. Because what I did last time was just go out. And didn't grab anything.
I think your videos are cool. Also if I was living alone and not married, I would get rid of a lot of things...but my husband is into many things. I would walk out of my burning house with my body and my wedding ring, a few photo albums, a passport, a wallet with my credit cards and ID. (of course I would take my 4 dogs and my husband.) The rest is replaceable. The wallet and the passport...are also replaceable, but if I had time...I would probably grab those because replacing those would be a pain in the ass.
I wonder why you have such a big place if you don't need the space....You could live in a small motor home or van with the things that you have and save on rent money. You could also rent a room from someone and save on expenses.
I was thinking pretty much the exact same thing. If my house caught on fire, me getting out is the number one priority. I could care less about just about anything else. As long as I'm dressed, I'd just bolt outside. I might grab my phone just so I could call 911 though. lol
I would take laptop and phone with their chargers (+ any other important storage mediums I might have in the future), any important documents as well as the box with things I value with me. Note that I wrote "with me": By that, I am taking my health with me. And yes, my friendships are important to me - but they can't burn down, can they?
My dog. Instant answer. My familys apartment burned when I was a kid, we all got out safely but everything we owned was ruined. I remember my family stressing out trying to find a pair of shoes for me before we left the building. I wore my moms boots outside. Now I live alone, but I love my dog and she would be the only thing I cared about saving. Items can be replaced. (I keep my passport in my car anyway :P)
Ryan Bingham might be interested in this. Great creativity and way of communicating ideas, congratulations!
Yikes! That is a familiar thought: What will you take with you when it happens? If not for a burning house, what about conflict or other emergencies?
The sound of your videos is sometime making them difficult to understand (at least for a non-native english speaker like me). I suggest considering adding subtitles manually (since it would be silly to ask you to buy a microphones and other stuff, or at least non-minimalistic ?).
Yup, you don’t get a new body. Well, at least until you pop back into earth with another one. Non material is where it’s at! Coffee pots are helpful, even that could be lived without.
An American with a passport...... WOW!!! 😁
I would only save two things.
1)My rabbit child(Sam) above all no questioning.
2)My journal(Because I save very forgettable important memories in it).
oooh you are right, i don't think about my Journal, thanks 4 this hind👍🍀🙋
I have a crush on you.
I really don’t know how I watched all your videos but one thing than I’m sure and that is this channel the best quality content about minimalism. Thank you for your great effort on this platform.
Actually this was where it started for me many years ago 😊 what would I save in case of fire? Couldn't think of a single thing...after that I started downsizing 😉
I'm going to add another comment to the one I just posted because fire safety is very important to me: I want to encourage people to not have anything in a place that would block or slow your access to doors and windows if you have to get out fast in an emergency. I want to encourage people to look around in the places where you go to school, work or elsewhere so you know to get out in an emergency.---When the ocean liner Empress of Ireland sank rapidly at night in 1914, many of the survivors were from the crew and not because they didn't try to help the passengers who were unfamiliar with the ship's deck plan (the Empress had sailed only hours before) but because they had been instructed to know the ship's layout so well that they could get out on the open deck even in darkness. Even a little knowledge and preparation can save our lives.
I'm from Brazil and I love your videos. Thank you for everything!
Just subscribed to your channel and also watched a couple of your older videos! Really loved how you take difficult topics and make videos on them with such ease! Keep up the good work!
I love your empty place! It's just like my apartment. I can leave and not think about a burglar taking anything that will be of value to him (or her).
I'm confused why am I so addicted to your videos. May be I wanna be minimalist, may be i like your personality.. 🤷
Nipun Fernanado She is so refreshing, isn't she?
Exactly.. a whole new prospective about living
The video wasn't loading quickly, house on fire. This is fine.
I would make sure my pets and spouse were safe first. If I had time, I'd grab phone, purse, and laptop so I could continue to do my job and have an easier time in the aftermath.
I just found your videos today, really cool. You are very charming.
I think my most valuable possetion is my phone. I keep all the notes, songs, projects etc in there and not everything is in the cloud. And the documents of course, if we talk about stuff.
Everything I care for and the docs I need are in a fire box with space to add more shit in case of a fire. I'd grab that box and my macbook, then bolt tf out with my dog. For sure.
;-) till next time..
This is an amazing concept, amazing job presenting it! We will definitely be thinking about this and try to minimize the stuff we actually need to bring for our Prius setup ! Thanks kefir! Burn your house down! (Figuratively)
hi! Too hard to understand because of the echo in the middle of the videо, English is not my native language) in any case you are really cool) love your videos!
i'm glad i stumbled upon your channel
The Burning House was my absolute favorite and I still think about it sometimes because I really think it boils down the 'Do I really need any of this stuff that is SUFFOCATING ME?!!!' problem I have.
I found it a few years after a hurricane had rolled through and destroyed most of our household including all of my favorite books in a flood. As a result I'm pretty laid back about all of it disappearing in a natural disaster and me being fine because that's how it was for me. Then it's just like a practical question too, like, maybe I should start adulting better and put my documents I want to grab in an easy to grab and go kinda space?? Instead of the mess my papers are in reality haha.
I had no idea it was the same person that did all of that, that's amazing!
way better than the kon-mari method.
I just love your minimal house..so calming.
Really makes you think about the value of most of the crap we fill our houses with!!! Keep the videos coming!!!
I love your video, but you need to upgrade your mic and they will be almost perfect !
your place looks too comfy to support your minimalist lifestyle.
Well definitely my doggo and feck everything else
great video but improve sound, echo.
I thought that the black screen at 2:23 represented the lights being switched off when you die, I didn't realize it was a glitch. Your channel was recommended to me by RUclips yesterday and I'm glad to have found it, your videos are great!
wallet,phone,car keys, dogs and cat treat...the cats will come with the cat treats
I'll save allllll of my photos albums and of course my camera 📷.
First i would save my dog! And the necklace that belonged to my mother.
If there is time, my laptop, cause i am a student. So my priorities are, myself, my dog, a memory of my mother and school... other material things you can replace.
wow love the accordion. I would take that for sure.
Whats the first thing to grab... the fire extinguisher :D
Im a new subscriber and I watched all ur videos last night. All of it . And i love the idea of telling .. its so simple. ♥️
