To me minimalism is about consciously thinking about what items I keep in my environment. Mostly this means I don't buy random stuff unless I'm certain I'm going to use it, so I wouldn't even have a canoe in the first place
I do not like when there's a lot of stuff, it stresses me out and overwhelms me, and generally, in my experience, just causes more issues than it solves in the long run. That doesn't mean you should throw away stuff you might need, but more that you actively think about the things you have, instead of mindlessly gathering more
So, what if I were to, say, inherit a canoe and had the space to store it? Would I throw it away? No, but I would donate it to a school yard sale
