>>2154330Eh, nu4chan amirite? I, personally, love surplus gear for what i do. It looks better, is built tougher, and is cheaper on the whole. People hate on it for two reasons, i think:
>Its heavyI dont buy into the ultralight meme, but i get that people like to min/max their equipment, and I probably would too if i was dragging it far enough, but i'm not hiking the AT, I'm just rucking in deep enough to find a secluded place to set up camp.
>GearfaggotryMilsurp stuff is cheap and isnt flashy, so the people who value spending big and buying obnoxiously bright look-at-me gear feel the need to shit on those of use who value thrift or the subdued aestetic in order to justify their consoooomerism.
