Preparing for the Season
 

So im trying to prepare for the spring summer airsoft season since I now have a job and wont in summer because of school. I really would like to know which things I should be buying first, as I would like a FULL list of what I would need for a 24hr Milsim.

What I have:

KA M4 (Metal)
3-4 High caps
Smart charger
2 Batterys
Sling
Shitload of BB's
Molle recon chest

I know its not alot because I just got into it before winter, and Yes I know some of you may have huge list, and......THATS OK I am willing to drop a few hundred if need be in to things that are a necessity

If you're doing MilSim I'd pick up midcaps instead. Nothing crushes realism like rattling BB's. lol

camo and boots
and the season starts as early as january lol

probably a rutt sack or like back to carry snacks and water or a hydration system. I get hungry, even in a fire fight lol.

Good boots
Eye wear.

- BDUs
- Water bladder and pack
- appropriate pouches
- comfortable boots (very important)
- some kind if head wear
- protective eye wear and back up
- dead rag
- gloves (mechanix are fine)

Yes, dump the high caps. Most fields that allow them have a one high cap limit, and they are taboo with most of the rest of the community. Mid caps/low caps are great.

Sounds like your off to a pretty good start.

Ya I realize that but even if its realism Im not doing any winter events. I wont be trekking out in a snow suit, and eskimo hood.
I will only be doing event come spring/summer.

when it's -5 with the sun out, you're sweating your balls off lol

Colder months are the best months, no freaking bugs!

Look into some water-proof socks, I love my Sealskin ones. Picked them up for ~$30 on Ebay, and work amazingly well!
Dry feet = warm happy feet.

I would say 2 sets of camo, one green and the other tan. Get some good wet/wind weather layer. The weather can eat a lot of players up quick.

What do you guys carrie everything in obv tee mags have holders and shit, but for all misc items do people carrie backpacks or what?

Winding high caps requires too much focus, prefer to put my focus on other things like shooting and keeping an eye on surrounding.

Did you read the list? Most of that stuff is worn, not carried. The rest fit in pockets.
But yes, I carry a backpack.

You can get a proper assortment of pouches that'll damn near carry everything.

Alright thank you for your help.
This weekend Im going to grab some boots,maybe a helmet or face protection, and a pair of goggles anyone got any good recommendations? I can go anywhere in the GTA pretty well. Im in Milton if you must know.

Also I am 19 currently and will be 20 come fall, am I eligible to play in practically all events? Asking because I practically waited 2 years since 17 to get in this community XD. Sorry for the new questions.

Once you're past 18, you're virtually welcomed everywhere.
Don't take my word for it, just because I said so... Who knows, some hosts could want an older crowd

"65+ only, senior citizen cards will be checked" :D

You got it backwards,

The guns the easy part, you need stuff to keep YOU going.

Clothes, camo, you need 2 sets one green based one tan based.
A heavy fleece and a light one, gortex shell,,and pants.

Several,hats, green and tan, warm, cool, and water resistant,

Good boots, 2 pair, one for cold wet , one for warm dry,

Load bearing gear, a hydration pack, and a 3 day pack.

Flashlights, 3 a small always carried, a larger " find my crap" light and a weapon light.

An individual first aid kit.

A ranger blanket, gloves, warm ones and tactical,

Thermos, small stove , light cooking gear,

Once you have all this , you would be pretty much ready,

2 guns, primary and backup, extra batteries, lots of mags, because you won't be using high caps.

Ok well for atm Im only gonna focus on one Camo, I know its probabaly based on teams as well as the environment but which camo would be best to buy first?

kill light for night game
flashlight
glowstick
extra gas for gas guns
food, mre, granola bar etc
rain coat, tarp, tent if camping in field
whistle in case of emergency

I think we'd be able to help you if you had a specific field in mind that you're to play at, but from what I have been told, (more pro 1337 players please chime in) woodland camo, any earth tone or multicam works well in most out door fields.

Really any outdoor fields in Ontario.
Will be going to Nightfall, and probably flag raiders alot.

Also not to ask to many questions but could you guys recommend me some of the brands I should be getting either at toronto airsoft or ultimate airsoft (preferably).
For example would PTS mags go well with my KA M4?

The real PTS Pmags (not the green label box sets or beta project pmags) work very well in the KA M4's. Another option is the Socom Gear magazines, be it the Lancer L5's or Troy Battle mags. I have had good luck with these working well in the KA M4's.

If I remember correctly mag brand magazines also work but I may be mistaken. All of these magazines can be bought at airsoftparts.ca.

Multicam. Vast assortment of gear, works practically everywhere (in many cases better than camouflages designed to specifically own environments.). For instance ive played in many heavy brush, and woodland environments, and have found multicam beats out woodland 99% of the time. Contains soft greens and earth tones (considered a tan camo, not green).

So for example these?
http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/in...oducts_id=2464

The only thing on that site is I can only see High caps from Socom gear.

Whatever you like, personally I tend to oldschool patterns

For green, Brit DPM US woodland

For Tan, not oldschool, Multicam

Yes those are the ones I mean. They are mid caps, be it large ones. The Troy battle mags they have are the same thing just with a different shell.

They can be loaded to what ever you like, personally I like loading them to 30 rounds like a real magazine even though they can hold around 200.
