Note to self, cotton is king, except when hiking in the winter, then cotton kills.
Too many things to remember!

Its amazing how fast those work pants will burn.

But if you haven't had spatter singe a hole right through your britches into the nether regions, you just haven't lived. And that spatter will go right through your expensive, stretchy anti-chaffing underwear and that will make you sad.

Great information, I will try to respond to most of these. I'm not sure I can help the Olivero and Ryanjones relationship. Sounds like they really dig each other.
A good helmet's top on my list, I have an old fixed shade helmet and a lower end Lincoln helmet, both of these were inherited from my Father in law.

lovetofix - My local welding suppliers tend to be the big boys. I will give them a shot next week, but I get the impression that I'm a little fish in their big pond. I know I have to get gas there, but spending money with them once every six months or so, I doubt I will get any special treatment.
for cutting metal, I do have a couple of angle grinders, a couple of dewalts, I've never cut with them, just used flap wheels. I also have a couple of oxy acetylene torches.
Olivero, I agree, I believe in safety, good advice on the items to get, I will start getting stocked up.
H80N thanks for the link, I will take a look at it in the next day or so.

That would be awesome!
Imagine a bunch of welders walking around with eachothers faces on them....
That would be hilarious.

I did see those. Maybe you can get one and have my face painted on it. Guaranteed to have the hot chics flocking to you in droves. It'll be crazy.
