Inventory

[Pip]

Here is all the stuff I have. Stuff is roughly grouped by purpose. I probably have forgotten a few things, which I will add if I remember them. Bear in mind I'm a single male with few obligations, and I do not expect most people to be able to get by with this number of things. However if anyone has novel ideas for how one thing could easily serve the purpose of another, I might be able to pare this list down a bit.

This is very interesting. I can't grok listing all of the stuff I have which of course, you know what that means, way too much stuff here. I like the idea of having only enough stuff that I can list it, but I know that will never happen.

We used to have a poster on this forum who had 100 Things, and each year she listed her 100 Things because it changed a little here and there. She had a house and children, so she counted only her own stuff, not communal stuff.

I've been going thru my minimal stuff and might make a list like Pip's. It was interesting to see his list and compare what I have (not much!) to other's. Even though I have very little myself, living in semi-shared housing with a packrat means I have access to more stuff if needed - including clothes and shoes! Need a dress and shoes for a friends upcoming wedding? Raid sister's bulging closet that has a million cute dresses and shoes! Need ammo for my guns? Raid sister's bulging ammo stash - one that would put a would-be survivalist to shame!

For example, here's what I have in my kitchen: one pot, one pan, one blender, 2 of each utensil, big spoon. big knife, 2 of each: dinner plate, salad plate, bowl, and glasses, and about 4 Tupperware thingies. That's it.
