Gear CheckList
We have all done it, forgotten, lost, misplaced, loaned out something for an event that we ended up needing. It's not an uncommon occurrence and fortunately there always seems to be somebody willing to help us out of these equipment mishaps. Most people develop their own systems to help them remember what to take and where to find it, this checklist is intended as a general starting point. There may be things here that you don't need. There will almost certainly be some things not listed here which you will want to add to your personalized tool kit. If you follow the checklist, making sure that you have all of the items that are appropriate for your gender and fighting styles, then you should never have to borrow a coif again. If you carry every thing on this list off with you to the event then you should be fully prepared for any challenge that the lyst field will throw at you.
