1
6 plain t-shirts, no logos
2
2 pairs of jeans
3
1 rain jacket, patched twice at the elbow
(one in one out) got broken for this one, worth it
4
4 sweaters
5
1 pair boots + 1 pair sneakers
6
socks x8, underwear x7
7
2019 macbook air, refuses to die
counted as one thing even though it does everything
8
phone + one charging cable, that's the entire cable drawer
9
1 cast iron pan, no other cookware
10
2 plates, 2 bowls, 2 mugs
11
sleeping bag and a tiny camping stove
12
toothbrush, razor, nail clippers, one bar of soap
13
1 guitar I will learn eventually
the one item on this list that's pure aspiration, not minimalism
14
the backpack all of this fits into
(fits a backpack) is the whole rule, this is the container that proves it
15
22 books, down from around 140 two years ago
gave most of them to a used bookstore in one trip and only regretted it twice. keeping these because I actually reread them
16
a desk lamp someone left on the curb
free, still perfect, best find of the year
