Everyones loadout will be different but there are many common items to remember.

• Full Seal Eye Protection - Extremely important! We do have eye pro available for rent and sale but nothing beats your own. We recommend bringing 2 pairs just in case you misplace the first. If there is one item that you splurge on, this is it. Having poor quality eye pro that fogs, completely ruins your day. If you can't see where you are going, it doesn't matter how much you spent on your guns or gear.

​

• Face Protection - We recommend having face protection if your eye protection does not cover your mouth, nose or ears. We have seen multiple people lose teeth playing airsoft, it can and will happen if you do not take precautions.

​

• Boots - A pair of comfortable, mobile boots can make or break your experience. If you go home with hurting feet, it could take a couple days to recover. Steel toe boots are not recommended since they cannot flex as much. A pair of hiking boots are usually good options if you don't have tactical boots.

​

• Hydration carrier - A camel back (any brand) is extremely helpful. Of course, with a hydration carrier, you need water! make sure you bring lots of water. When you think you have enough, bring more.

​

• Camo / Team Color Clothing - For any open play event, you can wear whatever you want. If you are playing at an Milsim (Generally labeled "Operation") you may have to adhere to certain guidelines. Check the specific event for details. 

​

• Plate Carrier / Chest Rig / Web Gear - This set up will be highly dependent on the rest of your loadout (see below) but some form of tactical gear to hold your extra mags, guns, batteries, tools, etc can be helpful. Not required, but helpful.

​

• Helmet - This item will fall under the same category as the team colors. You can generally get helmet covers to change the color if needed far cheaper than purchasing an additional helmet. Not required, but recommended.

​

• Sidearm Holster - If you are carrying a sidearm, some way to carry it while being easily accessible is important.

​

• Gloves - Not required but helpful, a pair of gloves can save your hands a world of hurt from bb hits and thorns. Also recommend catering these to the climate. If you are playing in the cold, bring warmer gloves and vice versa.

​

• Backpack / Duffel bag - For open play events, you just want something to keep your gear isolated in your vehicle. For any milsim event, you may need a pack or bag to bring your extra gear onto the field. You can leave the pack at your teams FOB if you'd like. Having extra gear with you can save you a lot of time and walking.

​

• Handheld Radio - This item can be critical for Milsims. Open plays generally do not use radios, but having them for milsims will allow you to known what is going on and communicate with your team. Milsims require a much higher level of communication and team work than an open play and a decent radio can help facilitate that. We do NOT currently sell radios, we recommend getting one ahead of time. 

​

• Wallet - If you pre registered for the event, you won't need to pay the day of, but you may be needing extra supplies like BBs, green gas, C02, or even just food. 

​

• Tarp - It can be important to have a tarp that can be thrown over your gear both to deter theft and to protect from the weather. Theft is not common at our field but can happen. We have cameras in the parking lot to help with that but prevention is best.

​

• Dead Rag - While not required, any form of red rag or bandana can help a lot. We have them available for purchase at the field. 

​

• Gauze pads - Many of our milsims offer the option for buddy medics. This only works if you have a gauze pad to tie around your arm to signify how many times you have been hit.

​

In winter games you should think about these items as well:

• Winter coat

• Snow pants

• Thermal Base Layer (under armor)

• Hot hands / Toasty toes
