Also without checking their website i am pretty sure warzone do/did evening games on saturdays too.

You’re right they do, last one I went too was a while back and it was a themed night, totally forgot about it being an option.

 

They are deffo on the cards, that’s for sure.

fwiw your idea of "reasonable" may shift if you get the nods bug.

 

Can confirm

Thing is that there are so many variables at play when picking noodles.

 

I'm starting to look into buying a decent one but the more I read, the more confused I am.

 

Totally - every tube is unique, and there are far too many myths, misunderstandings and contradictions flying around. It has taken me a solid year of being outside every evening for at least 1 hour each time to understand how each specification affects the other; how the variables mix together.  I think I'll start a thread somewhere here, stay tuned!

Great day at Rifts inaugural battlesim at The Ridge yesterday. 
 

Started off with my set of webbing, didn’t get on with it when trying to change magazines quickly or access things from the rear pouches. 
Changed over to the Arktis chest rig, decided not to run my belt as there wasn’t really any requirement for a sidearm or extra magazines.

My boots are dried and awaiting cleaning.. trousers went straight in the wash and are clean now!!

[Skullchewer]

After years of "No, don't like those trousers, nah, notthat rig" etc, I am finally mostly happy with my standard loadout for my DMR.

2 Commando (AU) 2016 ish 

 

 

[Wavey_Gravey]

oooof. Love me a straya kit and Troy rails so that’s a double win in my eyes.

 

I was looking at some AMCU combats a few months ago now I can’t seem to find any at all.

eBay is where I got mine, just keep an eye out, they pop up.

[Wavey_Gravey]

I will keep my peepers open, if I was ever to do an “impression” of sorts it would deffo be GWOT Australian kit.

Best part about moving back to Midlands? Enough sites within a reasonable distance to get this shit back out again.

Hey! 

[alxndrhll]

A bit more bush larp from the weekend just gone.

Updated my "small" backpack and belt kit:

 

The backpack went from this:

 

to this:

 

Went from 9 Litres in capacity to 12 (pouch is roughly 3 litres), but now I can organize my stuff better since I now have three compartments instead of one.

 

And regarding my belt kit it went from this:

to this:

 

The two side pouches will be used for navigation stuff (left side) and Leatherman Wave+, head torch and various bits (right side).

 

Now though, that Multicam pouch stands out like a sore thumb, so I will probably have a similar sized pouch made in RG as well, perhaps with a few details added to make it more practical.

And probably fill the empty space on the right with a pouch for my Garmin GPS.

 

All I need to do now is wait until the next 8h+ event to put the new setup to the test.

I need a Type 89. Is TM my only choice?

Pretty sure it is, yeah. You do have the choice between an AEG or GBBR though which is nice

Honestly? Looks a little bit off for me. Tiger stripe will only really work with other Tiger stripe or a solid colour maybe. It's too busy and striking of a pattern. 

[Wavey_Gravey]

I like it, mix match camo FTW.

[Skullchewer]

So, after proving it works by having an enemy squad walk past me so close I could have reached out and touched them, here's my completed ghillie loadout. 

The base layer is a Jack Pyke LLCS suit in British Oak. 

 

Goggles are some random mesh brand, viper if I recall, sprayed with krylon over masking tape. I then cut a piece of camo cloth mesh to shape and glued it to the frame of the goggles. 

 

The main cape is one of those mesh ones you see on all the airsoft sites, with the detachable hood. Got them both on fleabay for bugger all. 

I bought several packs of various leaves from Hidden Airsoft which I attached with brown cable ties. I added cheap plastic fern leaves and vines from amazon which I dusted over with krylon.

For a little extra outline break up I cut up an old pair of British woodland camo trousers and tied on the strips, then did the same with an old camo poncho. 

 

The results definitely work. 

Not overly expensive, just a bit time consuming.

Every camo combo works.

 

Just not skinny jeans, trex arms caps, pit vipers, skate shoes and plaid shirts.

I've hidden from people while wearing a ghillie suit made of tinsel (red, green and gold shiny stuff!), but never worn that setup, so I cannot refute your claims.

[Wavey_Gravey]

Warm one today, new beyond shirt was lovely, though wish it had a bit of a collar to stop the sling chafe!
