With my stuff, and based on his experience with stuff, I ask myself several questions when I come across something.
1. Will I ever use it?
2. How much space does it take?
3. Could I even find it if I needed it?
4. Would it even work if I could find it?

My dad wouldn't do that. He would throw a tarp on anything, and within several years it would rusted and inoperative. To me, those tarps were like death veils.
