Those wee basic compact toolkits you get out of B&M, Home Bargains etc that contain handy wee screwdrivers, Allen keys and a basic bit and driver set. Or a multitool. Great for working on airsoft guns.

 

Camping/outdoor water bottles/food containers/Billy tins/sporks etc, handy for sustainance on game days.

 

Shemaghs, useful for multiple purposes; face and neck protection/warmth/impromptu cape, makeshift picnic blanket, small blanket for for a kip, makeshift work mat for stripping a gun, ad hoc towel/wipe, etc.

 

Big camping backpacks, useful for transporting compact RIFs and your gear on a motorcycle.

 

Sweeties of all sorts of kinds for a quick energy boost.

 

Foam camping mats, for saddos like me who like to make fake sci fi armour...

 

Boiler suits or flight suits, as above.

 

Velcro - nuff said.

 

Thermal t-shirts/leggings for cold days.

 

Sure there's more tat I can't think of right now.

Mostly covered above.

 

Toilet paper or wet wipes, you won't need them until you really, really need them.

 

And do you know where your towel is?

[concretesnail]

He must know where his towel is, he's on this forum. 

[Cannonfodder]

Surely it should be what airsoft stuff is useful in everyday life? 

[Druid799]

Thermos flask and a super soaker , you fill the thermos with boiling water , you then pour that in to the super soaker and it’s an Airsoft flamethrower ! 😉

Triumph of the Will Power?

- to not act instinctively and make judgement /decisions that you may later regret. For instance buying/selling something you don't want or will miss.  Another example is when you feel like you have been cheated by another player or the site itself and you rely on on your will power /integrity to not break any rules in retaliation and remain composed. 

 

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Some more handy everyday stuff...

 

Hoodies, for warmth and head protection.

 

Parka jacket, as above, plus mag storage. Nice cold Wx/minimalist loadout.

 

Joggers or hillwalking trousers, handy for basic loadouts.

 

Anything Goretex, for those days where it just pishes it doon.

 

Summer motorcycle gloves, plenty protection and yet dexterous enough for games.

 

Balaclava, for warmth and a modicum of minimal protection against headshots.

 

Bum bags, for the ultimate minimalist loadout.

 

First Aid kit... say no more!

 

Anything OD/Jack Pyke/Fishing/Outdoor gear etc for effective camo. Shirts, hoodie, trousers, jackets etc.

 

Waterproof walking boots - a must at woodland venues.

 

Vicks/Olbas for the winter months.

Will power is for 🐈 real men have the tensile strength of a piece of wet big roll and give in immediately !

as a cat owner i can confirm that the willpower of your average cat isn't that high.

 

unless they want out, or want fed, or there's a door they're not supposed to go through, or a cardboard box is involved in which case:

Which reminds me.... I found that the cat scratcher pads made out of corrugated cardboard make an excellent BB catcher when they're worn out and good only for the bin.

 

They don't catch every shot, but have minimised the number of BB's lying on the lawn.  They absorb most of the shots, and quietly too

never tried the pads

 

i'll admit to treating him to cat towers with hessian rope scratching posts, only the best.

 

needless to say he's only interested in the box it came in.......

[RostokMcSpoons]

Hah.  Two cat towers and a stand alone post for our spoiled but hugely loved (and huge) ragdoll cat. 

 

I was always a dog person until our daughter brought home her cat!

 

 

And err yes. That there Airsoft, it's great innit.  Ahem.

Our Bengals love my airsoft gear. Oreo here (named after the ice cream that she resembles) seems to really like my UAR.

What a coincidence, here's me & my pet bluefin tuna timmy, & he absolutely loves the the fn2010 

The resemblance is uncanny 😜

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

LOL!

 

I've no further fish here so I'll let myself trout.
