    my tip for getting ready for milsim games in general is to load up every thing that you want to bring with you on your person, and play dance dance revolution in it. if you are dying after the first song you have too much weight. take stuff off and repack from there and play some more. this will help you maximize your load out for movement and get you in shape for the event. DDR MAXX 2 is the best one if you can find it.

    Been wearing the same 7 pairs of darn tough socks for like 4 years almost every single day (i do have some costco wool socks i picked up too that i mix in there) but I haven't worn holes in any of them. Some of them are the super thin brown ones and the others are the thick/medium cushioned green ones for winter. I've worn some of them for over a week straight (don't recommend) and they were significantly less disgusting than any cotton socks I've worn for even 2 or 3 days. And Darn tough will literally ship you replacement pairs if you mail them any that you wear holes in. Such a simple thing that I've been very impressed by. I guess I just got used to garbage quality box store stuff and didn't think that a pair of socks could be made that well. Glad I was wrong.

    I just want to say thank you for taking the time to go over this stuff from the basics like socks and boots, to the advance like night vision. Personally I would take a lot of what I do when I go back country hiking to something like MilSim as a lot carries over. Love the talk!

    I don't think those milsurp bivy sacks are nearly as cheap as you mention. Even about a year and a half ago the cheapest one I found (just the goretex shell) was $80 and its not perfect by any means. I wish they were $40. It's still worth $80 in my opinion and kept me warm enough with a 30 degree bag inside when it dropped down to the mid to low 30s at Hill 559.
    Darn Tough socks are goated. Absolutely worth the investment. Thanks for putting this video out there guys. I'll likely reference it for the next MSW!

      You can really get by without it if you have good wet weather gear and are ok sleeping outside your sleeping bag or with just a poncho and woobie liner. Just keep your sleeping bag dry for when you do get a dry night.

    Honestly, I had a load of 10 mags specifically so I could keep any and all ammo that I was given inside of them so they couldn't be grabbed when I get searched. It ended up being a bit of a moot point since this was at Aerodrome and my gun eventually went down so I just dumped what I had into the ammo box of our platoon's machine gunner because I'm about that ammo mule life.

    When I did MilSim 20 years ago, we did it realistic, I was a civvie but had the benefit that half the team were "Been there done that" guys from police and military, so it was easy to be guided and some stuff was just personal preference. You pack to fight and survive with a modest level of comfort, you don't pack like you#re chilling in the woods for a weekend fishing trip out and about. You trade some weight that might usually go to comfort to offset the weight of your NODS, you might take a knife for your food, but you don't take a axe to split logs and make a bonfire.

      There are airsofters and there are milsim goers. If they want to do a military simulation and not have a heart attack, then they should be physically fit enough to do so. Besides, even if someone wasn’t planning to go to a milsim, there’s nothin wrong with promoting physical fitness.
