I would like to replace as much of my modern style camping gear as I can with traditional old style gear. Yes modern gear is pretty much always better performing, but the aesthetic of traditional is much better and being out innawoods with natural materials rather than synthetic shit just feels more right. So in this thread discuss anything related.

I prefer to pack as light as possible (under ten pounds base weight), I'm able to do this easily by camping in pretty favorable conditions (southwest USA where it rarely rains and temps are mild), so I think I could do the same with traditional gear. I think my only synthetic gear would be a rubber tarp and poncho.
