What is traditionalist?
I know things change over the years and quickly and there is a lot of discussion on what gear is carried and what traditionalist gear is. What is your view of traditional camping gear in this near to be 2012? For discussion sake let’s keep it at five days hike? Say about 40 lbs
What is normal for a weekend camper say overnight on Friday and Saturday night.
I mention this because one hiker in our club makes his own gear. He even waterproofs his own cotton tarp. Every space has a purpose and everything exactly fits or will not take it with him. He says he is a traditionalist?
