My hubs is NOT good at packing. Maybe because he was on a ship and I was the one dealing with movers and packers.
I, too, have figured out what to keep and what to let someone else have. Right now I have a big bag ready to go to the next guild meeting and put the unwanted items on the grab table. If I haven't used it for awhile, it's time to get rid of it. I will be happier when I can move around and find things more easily.
