Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
My problem with this is that part of simple living, for me at least, is doing things the old way. Such as making my own preservatives, nut milk, bread, and what not, as well as growing my own food, DIY projects, etc... For this you need tools, materials, bottles, containers, and so forth.
To live as this bloke would be amazing, but at the same time you would also be reliant on purchasing basically everything you need, albeit not much, and when something breaks you'd need to replace it or pay for someone to repair it (assuming he doesn't have tools and materials to repair stuff which it doesn't look like he does).
The reason I moved from /r/minimalism to /r/simpleliving is to get away from this absurd obsession with how many of something you own. What do you gain from washing everything with the same soap and eating the same meal every day? What does all this pointless effort lead to?
Interesting.
This is a reminder why I am not a minimalist. Too sterile, and slightly depressing. But still interesting to see how someone is living with so little.
Honestly, I find this branch of minimalism idiotic.
It's mostly aesthetics.
His clutterless life is a product of clutter from everywhere around the world - like Friedman's pencil. It's a life full of hidden negative externalities.
How can this be minimalism?
