The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Druid799]

heard Horror stories as of late for other events (not run by stirling) with people turning up to games with no cold weather/we weather gear and all going home 3 hours into the game (if that!!!)

Not Airsoft related but of the same train of WTF , few yrs ago did a trek in the Sahara for help for heroes . We arrive at Gatwick to fly to Morocco supposedly ready to go straight on to the trek , two people with us one of whom had a large expedition holdall (was on the kit list to carry all your kit on the transport from stop to stop) with there kit in it , Someone pointed out the Cotswold label dangling off it and said “hopes she’s tested her kit first !” Arrived in the Moroccan camp that night AND everything that came out of the bag was still wrapped up from when she’d bought it all 2days before so no she hadn’t ! 

And the other ? They had all there kit in what you can only describe as a hotel/hospital linen bag ! 

So yes some people DO have no concept of preparation! ?‍

Going alone is fine. I go alone to a hell of a lot of games because of varying reasons but mostly as you say friends don't want to do the same thing or it just doesn't appeal. Stirling have a kit list on their website but kit is very game dependent, Some of it is very common sense others bits you may not of thought of.

This is the basic list of what they suggest for the game I'm playing but obviously that would differ massively to a game at The Tree's.

Kit List;

• Bergen/Backpack
  
• Sleeping Kit (Bag, Bivi, Mat, Basha)
  
• Wash Kit & Toiletries
  
• Food & Water (For 24+ hours)
  
• Brew Kit/Cooking Kit
  
• Uniform & Boots
  
• Eye Protection
  
• Combat Kit (Webbing/Vest)
  
• Weapons (Airsoft)
  
• Navigation Kit (Map, Compass)
  
• Torch & Lightsticks
  
• Toolkit & Batteries

Thanks for the info, think i just need to bite the bullet and get booked on. Clothing, tactical gear etc is all good, it's more the sleeping kit i don't have or a decent/big enough back pack. Do people tend to take the small one man tents? And for food, portable stoves?

Cheers

I know a few people who just take a bivvy and/or sleep under the stars. One man tents can be had, I have a Coleman Rigel X for my solo hiking trips which is lighter then most bivvy bags.

As long as its not 'The Trees' most Stirling events you can sleep in a building so camp bed, roll matt, sleeping bag and you are good to go.

Just picked up a Tokyo Marui Colt 1911 Series '70 Government Model. I had the opportunity to use it on Saturday and found it to be absolutely superb.

The bluing on the slide looks brilliant, the photo's simply don't do it justice. I also picked up a Blackhawk CQC Serpa holster for it with a low ride belt mount. I've previously tried drop leg platforms and normal belt holster height but neither really felt "right", the low ride is spot on and it allows for a fast and smooth draw.

 

[Hellfish]

Tokyo Marui MP5K, PDW Stock, Battleaxe RIS, Silencer adapter, FMA Spook Silencer and a CQB foregrip. 

Have a low profile Red Dot and a set of the MAG Mid Caps en route too.

All I run now in all my guns (bar my G&G AFV it needs a tiny 11.1v to fit the silly sized batt space!) no real reason bar there a ‘wee’ bit more forgiving than LiPo’s as to how you care for them ! ?
