I'm interested in opinions on build materials used for storage and equipment used in camping and over landing. So much stuff is made of plastic today and my camping gear is no exception. But when is leather better than vinyl? Or wood better than plastic? Modern polymers and plastics certainly have flooded our everyday lives and off-roading is no exception, however is a handmade leather duffle better than a mass produced vinyl one for backcountry camping? Or a well crafted camp kitchen box made from birch better than a stamped aluminium one? Weight and durability are factors in choice for sure, I just think something that's been hand crafted and built to last from natural materials has a certain appeal to it. I guess I would still choose a modern tent over an old canvas one any day though.
