Getting rid of stuff

[Everyroadleadshome]

That's a good article. When my Dad died me and my brother dumped almost his entire house of contents into the dumpster. But when he was diagnosed with cancer, he was more concerned with his estate being a burden on his children, he had done a pretty good job of getting rid of a lot of it himself.

The only thing I wish I kept that I didn't was a large oak desk he had my entire life. He was self employed and I watched him at that desk many a days. But I don't lose sleep over it either. I kept his rifle, shotgun and leatherman. Some of his fishing stuff and his toolbox. Growing up I worked a lot with him installing carpets and hardwood floors so the toolbox has the most sentimental value.

If I were to ever hit the road full time I'd just put those few things at a family member's house. I have no sentiments towards my stuff. A few small things i've had since I was a kid i'd take with me.....a Buck 119 knife and and Eastwing hatchet come to mind. But i've always camped with those, so they'd be right at home.
