ABSTRACT

Throughout your career, you will acquire many items of equipment, ranging from the marginally useful (‘I can't imagine why I keep carting this around’) to the absolutely vital (‘Where the – expletive deleted – is it, I distinctly remember putting it in the kit?’). When you do purchase your own equipment, make sure you keep any equipment manuals in a safe place, and photocopy the parts you most often use for reference and carry them with you if necessary.
