The Things They Carried

When you live in a house you have lots of space. This includes space for stuff you do not use or do not need. In a car there is not much space. There is only space for what you need.I am now starting to go through all my stuff trying to determine what to take, what to give away, and what to save for after the trip. It is starting to feel like the beginning of The Oregon Trail game. How many wagon wheels should I bring along?

This is my packing list so far:

3 shorts
3 pants
5 t-shirts
2 long sleeve shirts
1 sweatshirt
1 sweater
2 pajama bottoms
1 rain coat
1 guitar
1 netbook computer
3 books
4 photos
1 camera
