Starting with BASE, what gear to buy?

[HSG]

Hi everyone.

I`ve got 125 skydives, after I`ve taken 125 more the plan is to take a FJC in Kjerag next summer. I want to buy the gear before I take the FJC becaus I want to have everthing ready when I start. But I don`t know what to buy. I know I wan`t a two pin system at least. I`ve also heard that the Troll canopies are good.And I wan`t something that can be used with a wingsuit. Anyone have some good ideas?

That's the exact answer that makes people not ask questions. It's a beginner forum after all.

Here is a start...

There are plenty of variables to take into account when choosing a canopy and most people will always say their canopy is the best.

Think about the type of jumping you will be doing mostly, and choose the preferred weapon for that type of jumping.
