>>1080900anon it's easy, this board will lead you to believe you have to make perfect gear choices and know exactly what you need and what you're doing to get started but that's complete bullshit. buy some stuff you can afford, think it through, and spend a night out. the fun isn't gear, the important part isn't gear, and it's never a fucking survival situation. spend a night out and see what works and what was a pain in the ass, and repeat. as time goes on you'll figure it all out and draw together the gear that works best for you, even though that's really not the important part at all.
