Pack light.
Learn your kit.
A pan, classifier and snuffer bottle are a useful starting point. Match the rest to your trip and the site rules.
What does your next outing need?
Three answers. A practical kit and the next check.
First, settle the permission.
Save the purchase until the boundary, approach and permitted equipment are clear. You can practise a pan in a catch tub at home while you research.
