>>64279there is no problem with using camping equipment as long as you keep it simple
most of townfolk don't have any /out/door skills so they have to take more items with them
the more specialized piece of equipment is the less sill it takes
and that's why we have titanium sporks and buffs
can't light and maintain a campfire? there's camp stove for you, can't predict the weather? here buy this gore-tex jacket, can't navigate? buy this gps and we will give you headlamp for free, or maybe boiling water is to hard for you? buy this straw filter
I can see 4 problems here:
1 it cost too much
2 it weights too much
3 you are hopeless when one of equipment fail
4 people spend too much time on stuff, not on real activities "To be of to have?" it's that simple
