Yup, this topic reminds me of the amount of stuff I took when setting out as a full timer. I had a bunch of tools, misc hardware, plenty of heavy dishes, way more clothing than needed. After the stent as a full timer, I cut way back. Each trip I cut back even further. Now for tools, I keep only very basic tools plus a caulk gun. I cut the kitchen stuff way back. Much less clothing. Very few extras and spares for anything. I have gotten rid of hundreds of pounds of stuff. Life is easier without all of that stuff plus I don't pay the cost of toting it around for tens of thousands of miles.
