INTRODUCTION:While there is a lot of great info on the event FB Page and FB Teams closed groups, it can get easily lost or missed.
Any information here is for the benefit of both teams, so please don’t discuss strategies or team specific intel here.
For some of you
this may be your first overnight airsoft/MilSim event in the field (going to be Awesome
). This is much different than sleeping in the cushy Starship Barracks at Camp Rilea.
PACKING:The Big questions; what to bring and how to pack. Please read War Sports NW Players Handbook
https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/252e63_5 ... f7276e.pdf There is a packing list on Page 5 and we are going to add to that.
A GREAT start is a packing video from Adam of SOTA Milsim. Some of you may remember Adam from Airsoft Outlet NW. He is a solid operator that has done a bunch of overnight OPs.
Here is AP's advice for this event. Detailed Packing listOn your person-Government Issued Picture ID; required for access to Camp Rilea

Items to Pack:-Water, bring plenty for the 16 hours in the field. Start hydrating days before the event.
-Snacks (high protein, and good carbs, not a bunch of sugar)
-Medication
-Spare battery / gas
-Flashlight and or head lamp please make sure it has a red lens option
-Spare eye-pro
-Small garbage bag for trash
-Rucksack /Duffel Bag: (Each team will be assigned to a building in the MOUT for sleeping, so a duffel bag is fine but a rucksack/backpack also works … whatever you are used to)
-IFAC (individual first aid kit)
-Change of clothing (put clothing in a plastic bag to keep them dry. Besides a few layers, hopefully all you need are socks)
-Cooking stove – optional (NO COOKING INSIDE the building, I suggest MRE’s)
-Eating / cooking utensils
-Spare batteries for all of your lights and other toys
-Small roll of duct tape and electrical taps is super handy. Re-roll the tape on its self to keep it small … you don’t need much.
-Sleeping bag and or bevy sack
-Sleeping mat
-Personal hygiene kit (including medication)
-Large Heavy Duty plastic garbage bag for cleanup – Pack it in, pack it out
MealsIf you plan on eating in the field eye pro is required. If you wear a full-face mask w/o detachable face pro, please bring eye pro that will allow you to eat.
Other Things to ConsiderEverything With You: Bring everything to the field that you will need for the 16 hour operation; Saturday 1600 to Sunday 0800. Going back and forth to your vehicle will be very difficult and reduce your teams combat effectiveness.
Cooking – if you go with dehydrated options, you need a way to boil water. Don’t bring anything that needs to stay cold.
Cooking is allowed OUTSIDE ONLY … no stove cooking in the building.
