Another helpful tip for not forgetting gear, have a checklist in your phones notes app and run through it before you leave in the morning, and when you are leaving the event, helps you remember in a easy way and helps narrow down when you lost something either at the field or at home
I have a list on a piece of paper in my clock (which has a pen holder). I guess the notes app would work too, that would be on me when I leave too, however I just always make sure to put everything in the car and sort stuff out at home.
I recently had the misfortune of driving 1.5hr to a game only realise a wire had disconnected in my RIF and required soldering. Turned around and immediately went home. Learned the hard way.
I always make sure I attach my gloves to my rig post-game. That way I can just lift my rig out of my gear bag and see that I have both of them. If you have any carabiners on your gear I *highly* reccommend that you do the same because you can just check you have them at a glance. I haven't forgotten my gloves even once in over a year doing this
The mental check is a must, i do it i go head to toe even gloss over my patches and what will be put in pouches so I have EVERYTHING!!!!! It helps when your vest has a bag and you can stuff your mask, goggles, radio, BB's and mags in.
things that I rarely need in airsoft but I don't want to leave them at home, such as batteries, duct tape or spare parts, I put in a small box and I leave that box always in my duffle bag, that I use for transportation
I thought so to until one dude I play with frequently left 6 lancer m4 mags loaded for over a month and they all fed fine. I still wouldn’t leave them for longer than a few days as if you go to a three day event or mil-sim you’ll want them loaded the entire time lol
Those goddamn red dot batteries! Although I have to say I don't charge my mags with gas because of the temperature difference between my room and outside the next morning.
Spaniard here! Do NOT load the mags the day before, as it is not legal to carry loaded mags. If on the way to the field the police stop you they will check your mags and if they are not empty they will issue you a fine. I don't know about other countries but in spain the regulations are very strict when it comes to airsoft so do have the materials and mags ready but NOT loaded! Great video btw, keep it up!
This is a good topic, actually. Not as much to say as before, but easily forgotten. Basically: make a round through all your equipment, and make sure it's in the kind of state you want it to be in until the next game. Turn off red-dot, empty your mags, re-charge batteries, the works. Beyond that, though, your clothes and other equipment is also important. Make a habit of washing and/or re-arranging all your equipment as soon as possible, so that everything is already where you expect it to be for your next game. People talk a lot about preparing early, and for good reason, but you'd be amazed how less often you lose things if you just put them back where they should be in the first place.
so yeah tip about loading your mags the day before is sooooooo terrible why? u may ask So if youre using average mid caps froma average company your spring can get not that stiff anymore like it was when you were loading it for the first time You want to be ready for the game just load your mags 2 hours before the game while you are still in your home.
We got similar problem in Türkiye too. Luckily the lowest(C) class of the lisence(lisence classes are A,B & C) is enough for airsoft players. If police/gendarme/military personel catches you with radio but lisence; you would probably treated as a terrorist or sth like that due to region.
I once forgot my gun at home before a game
rental time
Yeah i have to say got a friend who loaded mags night before he dont do it anymore as they broke in 6 months
I started playing airsoft in 2016 yet that glove missing gets me 3-4 times a year.

I made a laminated checklist. I check the boxes and at the end i wipe the checks and can reuse it next week

my tip is to find a female airsofter to regularly team up with you. You will run faster, shoot sharper
This is a factual statement that actually works
How does that work? I don’t understand.

Thanks Josef😊
Got a game tommorow and just saw this checked for my gloves because I was sure they were there (they weren't) thanks!
thanks a lot this is very useful 👍
love your videos especially the tips and what not to do
thank you

I pack my stuff two days before the game. I have a list i go thrue. My gf helps me with it and we pack our stuff so, that nothing gets lost.
Omg this helped me so much
Loading the mags the day before sounds like it could wear them out over time
I thought so to until one dude I play with frequently left 6 lancer m4 mags loaded for over a month and they all fed fine. I still wouldn’t leave them for longer than a few days as if you go to a three day event or mil-sim you’ll want them loaded the entire time lol
yeah it’ll probably weaken your springs overtime
Yeah don't do this
not really. Youre only doing it overnight
I have been doing this for 3 years and all my mags are fine.
I cannot wait till the airsoft x event
Most of this can even apply to just going out to an event.
Those goddamn red dot batteries!
Although I have to say I don't charge my mags with gas because of the temperature difference between my room and outside the next morning.
Thanks. I haven't gone yet because I don't have a gun but I will remember this
I needed to go back home once because i missed my holster
If i had done this last weekend i wouldnt of had to miss the first game

Anyone know if ski goggles will work for airsoft?
Make an after video I think it would be as important
and after?

Reverse order. Unpack, clean and put away
Dont load your mags with bbs before your game !!!!!
so yeah tip about loading your mags the day before is sooooooo terrible why? u may ask

You want to be ready for the game just load your mags 2 hours before the game while you are still in your home.
Who is the girl? For science
Josef, I would leave the radio out of the talk, as there is a law using these. So most of us that are using them are breaking the law.
Where do you live? In Germany and I think in Austria you can use Radios if you want to.
