I moved from Michigan to Arkansas, then 18 years later, moved from Arkansas to Maine.
One big piece of advice I can give is to use Rubbermaid storage totes instead of boxes if you can afford it. There are numerous advantages:
Handles
More water resistant than boxes, keeps the humidity out and your stuff safe, even from rodents (helpful. If you have to store your stuff in storage units)
When done with them, you might be able to return them if they’re still in perfect condition. Otherwise, they stack very well into a small space.
Much more reusable for future storage.
I bought around eight of these totes when I moved from Michigan to Arkansas and I still have them to this day and they still are fully functional and work great.
