Affiliate disclosure

If you buy something through one of those links, I may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra, and the price you pay is the same either way.

Nothing is listed here because it pays. The gear page is the short list I hand to my own students, and an item stays on it only while I would still recommend it to a beginner.

Where a link is an affiliate link it is marked as such in the page it sits on, above the first link rather than only here.
