I have found less stuff is really alot better, makes life simpler, even on the water...

"Because by the Grace of God I can, be on a beautiful mountain stream with a friend , have the water boil from a 12" Native Brookie taking a self tyed dry,and feel it on the end of my cane... It don't get no better than that..."
The best thing that ever happened to me was that I got married and my dear wife helped me with my "stuff". I have learned over time what is essential "stuff" and what is non-essential "stuff" and we have cut down the storage boxes considerably. Still, there are those items that I just know I'm going to get around to using someday, or might even need the next time I need it.
Thanks for the great article.

Oddly enough, I've been looking at the same sort of thing. First, because I just don't have any more room to put stuff...and then watching " Hoarders" on A&E sort of caused me to think that maybe I'm more like them then I would like to admit.

Maybe a small thing...
But I sorted through 40 years of pillowcases and sheets I won't ever use.
Washed them all up nice and donated them to a local "Fish-Line" The little shop had clothes for sale much nicer than what I usually wear, but my little donation was gladly accepted. Read something in the paper about some folks getting burned out, lost everything. Just maybe grandmothers lace embroidered pillow cases might make someone smile. It made me smile on the way home.
when i was a child we had a major house fire and lost everything the week before christmas. the home owner didnt have insurence and their was little help for us. if it wasnt for the kindness of strangers we would have had nothing that kindness nevewr left my heart and to this day i try to payit forward nomatter the situation. as for stuff i hate to admit it but i'm horrable im a packrat and its hard to fight it. still to this day i'm throwing stuff out then going i could use that for this or this. uggggggg
