One thing i've realized the past week or so, as far as gear goes. I have to learn to identify the shit info verses the real info. people tell me oh, to get started do this, this, that and this. why someone else is going no don't do that. because of this, that, and this. not saying that any of you guys are wrong. i really appericate the info you guys have shared with me. and so far i have taken everything to heart from here. For example when you guys recommend something, (and i've noticed that for the most part everyone agrees.) you give an acronym or the name of something. i'm not sure if i'm looking for a brand, the name of something particular, or just a general name for a group of a particular gear. It's overwhelming for me to try and decipher everything. i have noticed that you guys will give me a general name for a group of a particular gear. I'll go look at it and there will be two or three brands. then i'm like, out of these what one is better. It has been brought to my attention, that's why i get in trouble b/c i'm not suppose to do that. I understand the whole sponser dill, but in reality one has to be better than the other. and at the same time i also realize that everyone's body is different and responds differently. Whit i am asking when i do mistakenly ask those questions, is what one is the mildest of the group. i don't wanna throw my body in full force and have a bad reaction to something. anyways, i think that is all i have to say.......for the next 15 min. lol
