Among the mass of stuff in boxes I've already packed and moved I've managed to sort through half of my camera gear. There's nothing like digging back into the shelves and rediscovering that you've bought something twice or that that crucial bit of kit that went missing the day before the shoot had successfully hidden itself in the back corners of a drawer.

Conclusion 1: There's a bunch of stuff that's ready for me to eBay.

Conclusion 2: If I somehow lost half of it, I would not miss it (though eBaying is better).

Conclusion 3: I've forgotten how to use half of this stuff.

Conclusion 4: I need to become a better organizer once I get into a new place

In a way this is like looking back on your university degree and wondering: what was this course? Why did I take it? Why do I still have the textbooks for it?

Update: yay found film stuff

And the wonderful thing about going through old stuff is when you surprise yourself and find a wack load of 4x5 and 120 film you forgot you had. YAY.
