Stevie said:The Modernist I like to think comes in between. He wants to learn and use the old ways but will use some new ones as well. He just tries to balance both. If we were all pure Traditionalists then we would still have flint knives rather than the North Star: we would have bear skins rather than Gore-Tex; we would wrap our kit in skins rather than the rucksack and worse still Imported Larger would not exist
Can't argue with that buddy...my thoughts are the same entirely :biggthump
Stevie said:To throw another log on the fire, my watch has a digital compass built in but I still carry two compasses and the GPS when I go out. Am I scared of getting last or what?? :Crazy_071
Lol....I do have to admit to liking new shiny kit...but I use it as a novelty when I first get it, like the gps and hooped bivvi bag etc but then find I almost always go back to my traditional kit i.e map/compass and basha etc.
I have one of those casio mountaineering watches, has a digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer on it as well as plotting functions and all the other normal casio features, alarm stopwatch timer etc....
Haven't worn the thing for about 5 years... only bought it about 6 years ago! :rolmao: :rolmao: :rolmao:
