Clearing out

[Borr 8,915]

I've spent last couple of days doing tip runs clearing stuff , trying to store stuff more efficiently, I'm almost at a point to sort out fishing gear , the price of space involves ruthless clearance....

Don’t do it you’ll regret it later ….. I’m getting to panic attack stage just thinking of you binning decent stuff

Don’t start on sorting fishing gear until you have thrown away everything your wife and kids own….unless it’s their fishing gear ! lol

Fishing stuff and rabbit nets etc are easily stored and harder to replace when you pick up the hobby again.

Mate I have three generations of gear , tbh I'm not planning on binning much outside of bagin basement purchases and such like.

It's a territorial battle ground.

Sounds like my Mrs ...if she wants something she will order 50 of it on the internet. Think she's shagging the postman and Amazon delivery blokes if I'm honest

I was never a hoarder, far from it; “everything has a place and everything in its place” was my credo !

Then I got two big allotments and now nothing gets thrown out ! Everything goes “down the allotment”.

Ive become an accidental re-cycler!

Coffee jars , milk containers etc find a use. Old pots and pans become poultry feeders, old duvets, blankets become plant fleeces in the poly tunnels, every gets taken their, “just in case I need it “

Cheers.

I must have 8 or 9 rods that I haven’t had out for two, maybe three decades. I’m always looking for an upgrade, especially if I can get a bargain. Those rods will NEVER be used by me again, so why can’t I throw or give them away?

Similar thread last year where I posted about getting rid of probably half the flies in my boxes. Flies I’d never use again. Maybe this will be the year I get rid of those old rods.., make a bit of space for new ones.

Old Chinese takeaway containers gone down to the neighbours a few doors down working at a after school club others to the relatives for meals to warm up in the microwave saws up the garage old rags in the garage

Got fiesta knave razzle and some special edition readers wives , all going back to when i was 13. Will post for free . Mostly in good condition apart from my favourites,  quite a few pages stuck together.

As age creeps up on me at an alarming rate I keep meaning to do the same. Just recently gave a load of my pike fishing gear to my grandson and I was joking to his dad when he came to pick it up it will be less stuff of mine to go through when I croak. It's the fairly large book collection on hunting related and nature i need to get my head around sorting out. The same day his dad took him pike fishing and he caught one on the tackle I gave him that was great to see the pic's he sent me.
