He gave away everything he owned except his vehicle and one suitcase of clothes. Now that is keeping things light! Few of us can do that, but I love the idea. I attended the potlatch and did not take anything home with me, but others took lots of things. A friend of mine had a potlatch before relocating to a new city far away.

But then I had the opportunity to move overseas with my family, and we were forced to do a pretty radical version of downsizing. We condensed everything that we owned into a 20 foot container and set off for a new life. Amazingly, a year later we moved once again (we knew that our first stop would be a rental apartment that we had for only one year), and we spent a week or so throwing out things that we hadn't used during that year. The urge to hang on to "stuff" can be just overwhelming, and one of the few good things about moving house is that it forces you to examine what you own and whether you still want to hold on to it.

I've moved junk from one apartment to another and THEN decided to throw it away. Makes a whole lot of sense doesnt it?
