Airnet - Craig Washka Flying Magazine Article

I knew a guy who could be packed and on the road in less than 45 minutes. Kept what stuff he had in a few bins, had a air mattress, and absolutely minimal stuff in his personal orbit. Had a Toyota pick up which, while older, he kept tip top so as to not cause problems. And this was in the pre-internet/smartphone days, so he paid for an answering/mailbox forwarding service that he used as a fixed point of contact. Dude was the personification of low drag.

I admired his dedication to the cause.
Love it. I wasn't quite that bad. I do have a pickup which i've had since college. Everything could fit in bins. I would just chuck the bed and pick a new one at the next stop.

I recall when I bought my first house myself and a friend moved all of my earthly possessions, including my dog, from my rented duplex to my new house in one '87 Toyota truck and an '82 Datsun truck in 2 trips. It was only about 10 miles but he and I got it done in a single afternoon. I moved the waterbed first and got it up and running on the first trip and spent the first night in my new house in waveless waterbed slumberland. I miss waterbeds.
