New to milking. What are your basics for equipment? Anything you can't do without ?

I milk my cow Evelyn. I do have a vacuum pump and milker. Of course a strainer,filter pads and brushes for cleaning up. I have a basket that i carry hot water and wash towels, and bag balm. Of course clean up takes alot longer then milking. I have hand milked, when it has been too cold for the vacuum pump to pull the milker. But i much prefer using a milker. Happy Milking-got a batch of milk sitting for cheese as I type. LOL
