a mix of both for me....modern usually equates to lighter more compact/user friendly but for me there are a few things that I prefer old school , tarp's ,waterproofs ,axes to name just a few I like canvas tarps if I don't have to carry them so I have both , I love goretex waterproofs but I have waxed cotton and oilskins too purely down to goretex not being as hardwearing as the other two.....I'm for both under different circumstances
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!
