There ya go, my opinions on what to get and where to get them. Do your shopping and compare the prices, and good luck. Sorry for the massive essay. I told you I can kinda get carried away. 
Maybe I am biased because I have this sort of gear, but its from my beginner's experience.
OOPS - almost forgot, sign him up to Ice In Space!!!
Cheers for now!
