Minimalism is not a practical matter; it&#x27;s a principle, a culture, and a mindset.<p>If you observe the amount of things people throws away when moving to a new house, you&#x27;ll realize that how many things are needlessly accumulated. You can bet that the same things were really needed before buying them.<p>I&#x27;d say that the most minimal application of minimalism (this is the idea of the post) is to recognize in advance that one don&#x27;t really need them.<p>Expanding the concept of minimalism, I wouldn&#x27;t say you don&#x27;t need much of the stuff you&#x27;re mentioning, rather that a minimalist &quot;clone&quot; of you could enjoy and&#x2F;or perform (depending on the goals) the activities you&#x27;ve mentioned, with probably half of the equipment.<p>Besides, there are only the two extremes of having plenty of tools, and living only with a laptop and furnishing.
