It hasn't really - you've always had people able to take big canvas tents with full beds (think of the Victorian grand tours!), it's just Wez's stuff is a more modern version of that.camping in a tent has changed big time compared to when i used to go camping
Used to sleep in just a thin sleeping bag on the floor of the tent
You can still do the bare bones camping if it floats your boat, but having tried ultralighting, it's not for me. I'll very happily increase my pack size and weight on multi day trips to have a better night's sleep than to shave off the weight and be uncomfortable at night.
