The Minimalist Part I – From Get Off This Wheel

I found this hilarious video through twitter and I wanted to share it with you.  It’s a hilarious looking at how crazy minimalism can be.  Definitely enjoyable.  Check out the site Get Off This Wheel for some other good content on simple living.

Is There A Minimalist Elite? – Click Here

Some people seem to think there is. There has been a small undercurrent of posts recently that seem to be knocking anyone who isn’t living out of a backpack and getting a new stamp in their passport every other week.  Minimalism may be going off track just a little bit. On Minimalist Packrat Tanja confronts some of these ideas and offers her own solution.

I love packing lists, and especially ones with pictures.  Over at The Everyday Minimalist is a great post with tons of pictures outlining everything she will be bringing with her to Asia.  It’s extremely well done and I was amazing at how little she will be traveling with.  It puts my list to shame! =)

I hope you guys find some new stuff in these links and I’ll see ya next week!

Hey Scott,

Man I saw that video of Don and Bernie’s yesterday and I was rolling off my chair laughing so hard. I think it’s something that a lot of minimalist bloggers will find hilarious. My minimalist honey (who’s naturally minimal but not really much into thinking about it) didn’t find it nearly as funny. He chuckled a few times but not like me!

Cheers,
Tanja

Thanks for linking to my post :) I think I could cut it down a bit more. I can’t bring shorts (I don’t own any) but maybe I’ll put skirts in there instead or another dress.

Hey!! Thank you for the comment. One of the things I really admired about your list was that you not only packed comfortable clothes but also stuff to go out in. It’s really nice to see that a person can travel ultra light and still have a fancier outfit or two.
