Simple living 101: what can be learnt from a 17th century town

Order: Reorder
Duration: 15:46
Updated: 01 Jun 2015

In Plymouth, Massachusetts- the site of the first English colony in America - Matteo Brault spends his days living a 17th century life, along with dozens of other re-enactors on the modern-day Plimoth Plantation. “The year is 1627. This is Plymouth Colony, an English town set up by Reformed Church people… these people hope to own land, they are struggling on the edge of a wilderness, they stayed on the Mayflower until they were able to build simple structures.” The simplest homes in town were built using cratchets- natural forks in trees- as support for the ridgepole of the roof. The walls are built up with “wattle”- small sticks for the lattice structure- and “daub”- a mortar of clay, earth and grasses. Instead of using the traditional English lime wash to protect the walls, the colonists took advantage of the plentiful wood in the America and created clapboard siding by cleaving wood into thin boards. For the thatch roofs, large bundles of water reed or wheat straw are woven with a giant needle by two people working in tandem (one outside and one inside). “It’s like a giant quilt made of grass,” explains Brault, “which makes a water-tight roof that essentially acts as a giant sponge. It absorbs water and laps it off.” Brault works full-time as a 17th-century style blacksmith, using traditional tools like a grindstone, hand-made nails and a large bellows for making the fire hot enough for forging iron and steel. He loves the challenge of this type of work, but he’s not a luddite. “My whole life revolves around this stuff but that does not equate that I want to go back in time and be an English blacksmith… If you do the research into this period it’s not a pleasant time to live. So I’m not nostalgic but what I am is someone who appreciates the past and I appreciate my forebears and as a modern blacksmith you have to appreciate your roots to know who you are and where you’re going.” The Plimoth Plantation and English village are open to visitors from March through November. The site also has a native Wampanoag homesite (we will tour in a separate video). http://www.plimoth.org/what-see-do/17th-century-english-village

Today's episode on minimalism features my girlfriend, Pafondra! Yes, that is the name of my multi-colored, 1998 ford ranger. This vehicle was literally rebuilt by my ex-father-in-law whom has since passed away. This amazing man was a master mechanic with a big heart. He first bought the shell of the truck and then bought an engine. Then he began the painstaking process of piecing it together. In total he probably spent $600 on the truck. After it was complete he gifted it to me as Birthday/Christmas/Going-Away present. That was just about 10 years ago! This vehicle is simple. It has no bells or whistles. It is a perfect minimalist vehicle. With the addition of the cap, it affords a roof to sleep under when on the road! The ladder racks allow me to haul extra materials for construction jobs or when helping friends move. The beat-up exterior means I don't have to worry about it getting dinged or scratched. In all, this vehicle gets great gas milage, requires minimal maintenance, allows me to feel stress free, and best of all, is owned outright- no monthly payments for me! I encourage you to consider downsizing to upgrade your life! Be simple! Interested in Lifestyle Consults? Check out http://www.Thriving Minimalist.com for more information. DON'T JUST WATCH!

Simple Living - Gym Class Heroes

Top Gym Class Heroes, Simple Living

I'm like nine minutes away from finishing my nine hour shift
and wishin I was gone nine hours ago
Cause nine hours wasted, tossin back of this chicken
I coulda written nine verses just in time for the show
Slacker mindstate livin on time that's borrowed
My motto's I'll stop procrastinatin tomorrow
I took the sorrow from the windchimes, left happiness lonesome
And strung up sarcasm to make the melody wholesome
From my lungs to my feet, I'm breathin everything I speak
And now they chargin for oxygen and the bill's due next week
I'll be a day late and a buck short, story of my life
I wish my pay rate was much more, duckin swords in the rat race
I didn't apply for runnin towards something that's fake
And thinkin, why for? They shuttin doors right in my face
And sittin high horse is a car and a dope place
Somethin to die for, this is my war, so
Now I'm schemin on plots to make my pockets swell
Simple livin is a bitch but damn, I do it well
Some are fortunate to make it and, some of 'em fail
Some locomotives push through and some of 'em get derailed
Schemin on plots - HEY, HEY
Simple livin is a bitch - HEY, HEY
Some are fortunate to make it - HEY, HEY
Some locomotors push through - HEY, HEY
I lead a crocodile mile lifestyle, I run and slide
But when it's time to collide with the bump, I always bail
Cause I'm not ready for that dive or that silly nine to five
Solidified career option, a hop skip and a leap
away from rock star, and not too far away from fillin pop's shoes
The idyllic hard workin type of calloused hands
Complete with wife, kids, dog, house, and picket fence, that's nonsense
I'm convinced I'm built for better things
And won't settle for the empty smile that cheddar brings
It seems like I'm workin hard simply cause it's what they say I have to do
You graduate and then you either get a job, or you go to school
12 years wasn't enough?
That's more than half of my life spent tryin to make the world accept me
Plus I've got the papers saying that I made it through
Now I'm working 2 jobs, 3 with music and you don't respect me?
