My nephew asked why I still use my old canvas tent from the 90s
He was helping me pack for a trip to the Adirondacks and said my gear looked like it was from a museum... I told him it's never leaked once, but his comment about weight and setup time got me thinking. Do you think we focus too much on new features and forget about gear that just plain works?

Ever set up a new tent in the rain? That old canvas one is probably faster when you know it by heart.

Wow, you just changed my whole view on this. I always chased the newest, lightest gear, but fighting with unfamiliar poles in a storm sounds awful. Guess there's no substitute for knowing something inside and out.
