it'll be a travel trailer :)

Posted by colin (aka colinski) Oct 20 '11, 09:20

completely mobile, no need to pack, no stuff.

we moved in a 6x12 trailer that was about 3/4 full. we still have to get rid of a lot, but we're pretty close to fitting in a trailer.

i also have come to really not like having things.. it's more stress than enjoyment, especially if you move as much as we do. i think we've moved 6 times in the past 2 years.

Ah! That's awesome. That's what I miss about moving in my 20's. Only what would fit in the backseat would come with me. -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 20, 09:23

- i'll probably start cutting down to little 1 gallon jug batches, but yes :) - colin Oct 20, 09:26 1
  - ohhhhh, there's a guy who does this. visits small breweries and makes crazy esoteric recipes. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 09:57
I can kind of understand this. I feel weighed down by lots of possessions. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 09:21 15
- my mom's house burning down really made me realize how much *crap* I had. I started donating and selling at once. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 20, 09:28 13
  - nice job! it's hard at first, but feels really good once you get going. - colin Oct 20, 09:30 12
    - definitely feels good. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 09:58
    - meanwhile, I feel the opposite... - Mel Profit Oct 20, 09:36 6

        For this time in your life, where you're exploring, your stuff is secondary and yet you're getting a lot out of other things which I get too. - Mel Profit Oct 20, 09:49 3
        
        that's why a lot of people retire into those boss motor homes.. exploring in style! - colin Oct 20, 09:52 2
        
        my parents are those type of people. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 20, 10:03
        
        my Aunt and Uncle have been doing this for 10years... - Mel Profit Oct 20, 09:54
      - It's like you are a Sim with the "new stuff" mood buff :) -- nm - con_carnage Oct 20, 09:44
    - it is addictive, it really is. -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 09:35
    - I'm mostly done. I can't live with *nothing.* -- nm - amanda jones Oct 20, 09:34 2
      - i've limited myself to clothes and computers. it's all i need to work/play. - colin Oct 20, 09:36 1
        
        you've heard of the 100 Thing Challenge, right? -- (link) - znufrii Oct 20, 09:40
- Yeah. If I acquire a lot of stuff, it sort of stresses me out in a weird way. - con_carnage Oct 20, 09:25
