Equipment List
Level 1 Gear

The items on this list are what we consider essential to be effective. We also understand that everyone has his or her own preferences when it comes to individual equipment. So it is OK to customize your gear to fit you. A good example of this is that some of us prefer load-bearing vest to the belt and suspenders set up. When you come to a training session you will get a good feel for variety of vest, pouches, and accessories available.
    Please, don’t feel that you need all this equipment before you can come out with us. None of us started out fully loaded and we don’t expect you to. Many of us have extra gear that we will loan as you acquire your own. 
    If you are starting from scratch, this is the order we recommend you follow in getting outfitted. And remember nothing-and I mean nothing- is more important than a good pair of comfortable, sturdy boots.
