I'm really interested in traditional outdoor lifestyle.
I suspect that outdoorsmen of earlier times managed to make do with a lot less gear than today, but I don't actually have any info on the subject.
Anyone know stuff about this topic? What did a man going into the wilderness without a pack horse carry, say in the 19th century?
What equipment did medieval footsoldiers, mercenaries or plain wanderers have to sustain themselves and protect against the elements?
How do roaming carpenters in central Europe sleep, traveling without a backpack and still carrying all tools they need to perform their job?
And maybe the core of my question: what do you actually NEED outdoors?
