As you get some seat time, you will discover what you need and what you can do without. Let experience guide you in your purchases.
Red - this is very good advice. When I first started reading this forum my first urge was to just go out and buy everything I read about. I have made that kind of mistake before - got gear that I never used. Trying not to do that this time around and as you said "letting experience guide me".

I have been meeting a lot of knowledgeable & helpful people - will hopefully be one in 20 years
