Equipment can be fun, interesting and enlightening! There are many different items to use and some are must have's and others are nifty. Nifty being relatively useless items, but neat to own and attempt to use. Here, I will list some of the items that are crucial and others that are helpful and others perhaps you can do without or find other ways of doing the same thing. I do encourage comments concerning equipment since I do not have all the answers!
