What do y'all think about asking the mods to create a sticky to discuss suggestions to new commuters about what to carry? It's a recurring question, and a fair one. We can't reasonably expect new forum members to fully grasp the search function. Having it at the top would give new and prospective commuters an easy overview. They could then add their specific questions.

On the other hand, we already have THREE stickies. We have to guard against Sticky Creep.
