Had a talk with my neighbor about sleeping bags and now I'm questioning everything

My neighbor Dave is this old guy who's been camping since the 70s, and last week he told me he still uses his original canvas sleeping bag from 1978. He said synthetic bags just don't breathe right and you wake up sweaty no matter what the rating says. Makes me wonder if I'm overthinking my gear or if he's just stuck in his ways - has anyone else run into old-timers with surprisingly solid takes on camping stuff?

100% @reese_bell - you see this with so many things, not just camping gear. everyone chasing the newest tech when some old school stuff just works better for the basics.

Swapped to a military surplus wool blanket and never looked back.
