My 111 Possessions for Living Simply and Sustainably | Minimalism
Channel: Robin Greenfield
Date: 2023-09-21

I've lived with just 111 possessions, all of which fit into a backpacking backpack. I've also lived with just 44 possessions which fit into a daypack. 
And I've biked across the United States three times with all of my gear on my bicycle.
Right now I own about 600 possessions which comfortably fit into a shelter that I temporarily call home.
I've been simplifying and downsizing my life for over a decade and lived in multiple tiny houses and structures. 
In this video I share what I would own if I designed my possessions to fit into just a backpack and onto my bicycle with a bicycle rack and bicycle bags.
The purpose of these ~111 possessions is to meet my basic needs to live simply and sustainably, deeply connected to Earth and our communities.
