Thread: The gear wars

I think there's something to be said for buying lots of gear to begin with (Cue applause from all hunting stores) for two main reasons:

To have a backup in case an item of gear gets lost, or you need to lend it to a mate (I'm talking genuine mates here, not idiots who are out to use and abuse)

And most importantly, to begin the journey of finding what you like, what suits you, and in the end, what works best, and may one day save your life.
