A place for your stuff, or not
George Carlin had a funny routine about it. The need for a place for your stuff. I once sailed on a schooner with a crewman who made the profound statement “Do you own your stuff, or does your stuff own you?”. This after a visitor was trying to imagine how we lived in bunks that were four by seven feet or so. The visitor was quite sure “not all of his stuff would fit in there”.
Not only did we store all of your clothes and gear, we slept in the space. It was quite comfortable, actually.
The shed, a place for more stuff:
No shed, no stuff!
