    I live with a backpack like this for 1.5 years now. I quite enjoy it so far.
    Main downsides for me: working with a laptop all the time results in a back pain; I miss my piano.
    Otherwise it is fine : )

    This is peak "You will own nothing and be happy" vibe. This lifestyle makes you completely reliant on other people, far beyond the normally thought of level to an almost parasitic state because all his physical requirements (food, water, shelter, security) for living are completely dependent on being in a low-crime, first world country. He didn't elude to having any sort of EDC weapon for protection nor how would eat/drink without buying take-out.

    • @EddyLeeKhane
      @EddyLeeKhane 9 месяцев назад +2

      He is making enough money and has an almost world wide accepted credit card
      Take out is surprisingly cheaper in foreign countries than having to cook yourself (it often tastes better too)

    • @MrSnivvel
      @MrSnivvel 9 месяцев назад

      @@EddyLeeKhane No where in the world is it cheaper to buy take-out every day than it is to cook it yourself... As for the credit card, you're not disproving my point because that credit card relies on a working modern infrastructure that can connect to the first world for payment processing. It's living the most urbanite, bugman existence possible where if/when problems arise his options will be massively limited if he has to survive on his own means.

      @@MrSnivvel you underestimate the "third World"
      Gotta travel around a bit my friend
      I've been to the literal jungle and they accepted my card and had internet with decent enough speed of 15mbits
      And I paid literally 4$ for a 3 part menu, drinks included
      Now I'm in Bulgaria and pay around 5-8$ for a full meal (drinks and side dishes included) which would cost about 20$ in the "first World"
      Also, that guy there is a freelancer who can work from any place with an Internet connection, which is basically everywhere available (besides some super deep jungles or deserts)
      He won't be the one to suffer the WEF "you will own nothing and be happy"
      Especially since he is doing it voluntarily and not out of necessity or being ordered by some overlords
      It's the poor who will suffer from carbon/meat/travel taxes imposed upon the world
      Those with the financial means to escape will survive, that's the tragedy
      The poor are getting sacrificed (though in the long-term noone will survive I suppose, due to drastic population decline)

      @jimh472 7 месяцев назад

      While I think we would agree the "you will own nothing" narrative comes from wanna-be dictators and their authoritarian apologists, I think this video is more about a minimalist *travel* setup than an actual lifestyle. The dude IS carrying the freaking Constitution with him after all. Moreover (again going back to unjust authoritarianism) RUclips absolutely HATES individuals espousing any sort of armed self-defense so discussing that would have been an easy way to get demonetized.
