I've had people tell me in the past to use this or that but it didn't make any sense. Just like it was mentioned before, I froze my butt off and relized that I needed layering here and there. I suppose as long as you can understand what people are telling you, learning from other is possible. Alicia, I've drank open water before many times but it took Giardia to show me the wonders of a water filter!

So, is the best gear for beginners just the right amount to get outside and not hurt themselves but still lacking to the point they will learn from their ways? I figure, go with a heavy pack and next time you will know you need a lighter one, no jacket to waterproof jacket, cotton socks to wool socks, etc...
