The real success for a hardcore player is to get one character up to a high enough level that they can start to do successful item finding runs. The loot from those runs, even if it's just Nightmare Mephisto, will add up and be useful to distribute to lower level characters. Eventually hardcore players will accumulate equipment equivalent in quality to softcore characters, but it's generally a wise idea not to put too many eggs in the same basket. The wise hardcore player spreads around his best items, charms, runes, etc. It's not smart to risk losing all your best gear on one character.
Another useful technique is to maintain mules not only for high level gear, but for starting and mid-level equipment too. When playing hardcore you will wind up making a lot of new characters, and if you can stock the fresh meat with basic low level gear; some simple set and unique items to use early on, a decent weapon like Khalim's Will, low level charms too to add elemental damage, something for life/mana leech, etc, it will really make a difference over the first 15-20 levels.
