Money (Treasure), the OD&D Economy & Equipment 008

Let us look now at starting equipment for Fighting-Men, Magic-Users and Clerics. What do you think should be some basic equipment that all Fighting-Men, all Magic-Users and all Clerics should have, without or with few exceptions. What equipment do you think is more geared towards individual taste. In OD&D players start with 3d6 times 10 for starting money which in the Silver Economy is 30-180 Silver Shillings - in practice my house rule is to give every player about 120 Silver Shillings in the new economy and they can roll to see if they can beat that. Bitd if you rolled 30 that was it, like many I have gotten more lenient over the years on some things but not all. Looking back here: Money (Treasure), the OD&D Economy & Equipment 007 what do you think should be added to the list?  Some equipment lists contain over 1000 items, I think that is bit extreme unless you are gaming at high levels in a large port city that happens to also be the capital of a country; but that is just me, what do you think? Should a ref make players list bedrolls, socks, soap and such on their character sheets and should it be on the equipment list? I am still in the process of tweaking the equipment list.

Here is equipment I would take for an OD&D game and if I did not have enough money the items in italics are what I would leave for a later buy - not including weapons or armor. Where only a number is in italics that means I would go with a smaller number initially if I have to.
