Getting some gear

Riddles

I mean, the non-injectable kind.

I haven't been training long but to the point where it's been suggested I might start using or at least experimenting with some personal equipment for powerlifting and strongmanning. The issue I'm finding is that I could go out and buy a whole bunch of stuff but like starting any new sport it really does get really expensive, especially with shipping. So I'm after some suggestions in what I might try as well as the order of priority and the best places to source it. I might have the chance to borrow some equipment from people at the gym to see how I go but it won't be possible for all.

My wish list would be as follows (no way can I afford it all at once)...

-Belt
-Knee sleeves (my knees aren't great)
-Knee wraps
-Wrist wraps
-Boots (hiking boots for strongman, my current ones are falling apart :( )
-Stone sleeves (I'm allergic to both tape and tacky)
-Tacky
-Climbing shoes (although real truck pulls aren't that common)
 
All that gear would be under 500.

Start out with a belt and wraps and build it from there.
 
All the belts are in stock, just the American lever maker cant keep up with demand at the moment. Next week Tuesday/Wednesday.
