I used to watch these documentaries growing up and they would have these native people walking around with leaves and whatnot for their clothing and they would just go out into the jungle with a spear and nothing more and then three days later they would come back with a whole basket full of fruit and vegetables and all kinds of other goods that they would find and harvest out in the wild. And to them, the jungle was very much like going to the mall, like how we go to the

target or go to the mall to get stuff. That's how they view nature. They go out to

the jungle and they find things, they find medicinal plants and other things that you can eat,

have the clothes on my back and I can go out to the world. I can travel anywhere and I

don't need much and I can come back with everything that I need and more.

when living the minimalist lifestyle. And the best part is you don't have to get rid of anything

in order to have the experience of minimalism.

I also will show those of you who are watching this on YouTube

the actual backpack that I've been living from for the past few years,

as well as my one pair of shoes and my shirts that I hand wash each night after wearing them. I also will go through the
