You can put a lot of stuff in a car. I have a fair amount of snowboarding stuff for example, but it does not actually take up all that much space. Camping is probably a better example, you can have an insane amount of camping stuff or a backpack full, but quality dominates quantity.

That's true and I could fit all my camping and climbing stuff in my car, but the picture I get from people who tout "all my stuff fits in my car" philosophy is that they live in a room with no furniture, a coffee mug and their laptop. Having less stuff for the sake of having less stuff doesn't seem to really serve a purposes. Keep what you need and want and ditch the rest. Not that complicated.

That's pretty dismissive of you to assume you know anything about me or my hobbies, actually. A lot of things such as my books and music were converted digitally, but I actually have an entire recording studio setup and my gardening supplies to move as well. If anything I spend a lot of my time avoiding online activities. You can learn to cram a lot into minimalism, not everyone is the hapless nerdotron you seem to think they are.
It's easy to not have 'stuff' if your entire life is online, but once you start to accumulate hobbies that aren't online then not having stuff gets much more difficult.
My goal is to not have stuff that doesn't serve a purpose. Nic-nacks, gifts from trips, decorations, etc.
