Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: A good backpack is essential and don't skimp on it. You will be carrying it on your back for days and you will pay for the cheap one with a lot of pain. If you can afford it, get a good one.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Rain gear is even more important. You can't stay warm if all your clothes get wet. Fleece is light and warm but not wind resistant. Rain gear will cut down on wind too. Thermal underwear should always be carried for emergencies. It's great if you don't ever wear it. Good socks can never be underestimated, much like good water proof boots.
Photo Equipment: Wide angle for scenery along with a circular polarizer to cut down on glare. Zoom for the wild horses.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Good water proof tent is necessary to keep your stuff as well as you dry.
