10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE GOING TO MILSIM WEST

[@scott_hunts]

Maybe my perception is skewed but I’d recommend bringing less food, and preparing to have less sleep. Caffeine is absolutely vital, also something to keep your goggles from fogging up. Breaking out food containers is a good way to have Murphy law send an attacking platoon. Instead just eat small snacks and lots of them, a simple stick of jerky will let you go a long ways. Seconding the tacsop. People need to read it.

And nuts seeds all my best mates

[@CaberUp]

This is....THE BEST Milsim West intro video. EVER.

[@gregkovacs6687]

John is grizzled veteran of many MSW campaigns. Hear his words rookies.

[@BoomBoomChicky]

Oh shit thats me! The multicam blob behind the the polish guy during the Hurry Up and Wait section. Great game! Glad it rained out most of Rusfor, too bad the bridge landing didn't go as planned

[@mikewickensjr6953]

This video is great! I love the fact that you brought up having a Facebook account and how important it is.

[@airsoftriotchannel]

Thank you. Ya if you don't have one then you would never know.

[@set7-o8w]

This is a really good video I wish I had something like this when I first got into MSW

[@Brandon-wn1mj]

this will definitely help me. I'll be sending this to anyone that has questions for sure!

[@OrionsGarage]

Great vid with a lot of good tips, I cant wait to do one of these events

[@mugene]

peach slices are a great snack to have with you as well / not the candy dried fruit

[@Baconenjoyer-zq8yy]

For food, I would suggest going with peak refuel, they’re bigger than mountain house and take less water.

[@lanefortenberrry7255]

too bad he forgot about pretaping dead birds to your pyro before the event. saves you lots of time at in processing.

[@chessairsoft2279]

Bout to go to my first MSW thank you!!

[@airsoftriotchannel]

Your very welcome. Hope to see you there.

[@Аку-ю7ф]

fuck facebook, they track too much data and they make you confirm you're using a "real" name with your ID, sus af

[@artnaz93]

Helpful vid, thanks dude! Going to my first MSW event in Feb 2022 at Hill 559, very excited. Will you be at that one?

[@airsoftriotchannel]

I will not be but I will be coming to California for a future Victorville event. Hope to see you at that one.

[@lokischildren8714]

It's all about the 6 ps.... . Planning. Preparation prevents piss poor performance

[@shoutloud5945]

This will be useful. Thanks!

[@Terminatorbart]

Good list!

[@ethanharless2208]

If me and my 2 buddies all buy tickets any way we can be on the same platoon ? We don’t wanna be separated we want to experience it together.

[@airsoftriotchannel]

Yes. When you sign up it will ask you who you want to be grouped with. Just have your friends put your name down and they will be placed in the same squad as you.

[@derekstudios8494]

Im going to my first event in the upcoming months. Can someone tell me like the things they supply you with such as, do they give you uniforms? Do you bring your own backpack and plate carrier/vest. Basically what they will give and what they won’t give so I know what to bring or what not to bring. If someone could help me out I’d really appreciate it.

[@lightmetro7508]

They give you water and ammo. That's probably about it

[@itskytro]

so do you need to have your own radio or is that just for the leaders?

[@_Slush]

Thx

[@Gothic1Actual]

If I'm NATO, can I bring a Glock 19X or is bringing a pistol a good idea? Do you know anything about Hill 559 in Clovis CA. Do we sleep in tents, Shelter or under the stars. This will be my first event. Thanks

[@bradgarman7562]

Killer! 🔥

[@chewy7192]

Hey thanks alot for this video! Are you going to Stravopol 2023?

[@watch7966]

Are you allowed to run an alice battle belt and harness as long as you wear the proper camo for NATO?

[@danthegypsy5871]

nise

[@fullymadden5305]

Dang I need a lot more things now

[@skinnysbaseballcards7464]

Could MRE's work?

[@CMTechnica]

Well having FB isn’t an option. RIP going to future MSW events

[@Phoenix411th]

Do you have any groups near san bernardino california

[@weebfam1311]

So im really young and im enjoying these but this must be a really dumb question can you bring a sniper rifle and a submachine gun with a pistol lol

[@skrrrrrrtttttboomboompow]

read the TACSOP

[@russbooth6766]

No kiddo, this is not a casual skirmish. Its 40 hours constant playing. I would seriously consider airsoft milsim games when your an adult. In the meantime, get some hiking and camping experience in. It all helps!

[@DatFellur]

I have yet to be added to the NATO group on Facebook

[@forrestgreene1139]

Did that one dude carry that cot in his ruck?

[@thetravelerformallyknowasw7912]

I was wondering that as well!

[@rhoslaviangamingofficial8716]

i have NOT bought a ticket?

[@gageanderson8034]

Do they have pictures factions

[@SnowHunter869]

why did you say cadre like that?😭😭

[@dallonspringchied3047]

Thermal much better than NV...

[@natedog45678]

Incorrect, you need to bring enough food and water to last you 40 hours. Just because you get to your PB on Friday night it does not mean water will be there. For example, at the last Volgograd a water resupply wasn’t available till Saturday mid afternoon

[@xXSgtWolfXx]

how do you carry 40 hrs worth of water

[@thetravelerformallyknowasw7912]

Even with drinking as much as possible before the game, and bringing a gallon. That's still not enough for 40hours. A gallon weighs about 8 lb.

[@vivelaresistance2526]

Why Facebook for god’s shake why Facebook lol

[@paulbarnes667]

Are carts/wagons allowed to carry gear?

[@airsoftriotchannel]

It's not in the tacs op but I would strongly recommend not doing it. It ruins other players experience.

[@Jdanej]

AR is right, at some AO's might not even have trails big enough to allow a card. Don't bring anything that can't fit in your ruck.

[@D_Klotz]

I eat mtn house meals on a 50 mile hike

I have literally never heard it pronounced "cawdray".

[@Alffraido]

What about bringing MRE’s lmao-

[@SaraphDarklaw]

Just bring beef jerky and other snacks. MREs are gross.
