Many people, myself included have too much crap. We consume, we buy more. In a society where we'll buy a product because it comes with more you have to wonder, is retail therapy really an issue or are we all just hooked on having the next best thing?
I guess I'll cut a long story short. What do you really need?
Now, we all know food and water are a necessity. But what do you need that isn't so important to your life. Stuff that you could give up, but at the same time it's one of those things you couldn't live without.
Is it your TV? Internet? Car?
I thought about this and realised that apart from a few pieces of clothing and some guitar strings, which is what my blogger friend above said in a comment. I don't really need much else.
So, what do you really need if you were to live on a deserted island, or any favourite remote part of the world? A deck of cards? A drum? A book?

Hands down, this is the best question to ask ones self when moving off grid , because it is a lifestyle change and you cant change your lifestyle if you haul it all with you.
Good post!
I based it completely off your statement you made with what you really need because pretty much the same thing I would.
In fact, when there were bush fires here a few years back, the first things I packed in the car ready to get out of town was my guitar and some photos.
Each other.
