"It's time to blow shit up!"
Hello everyone!
I hope you guys are excited as i am for this Berget 15, because it seems as it might be something different that what we have seen.
This year, me and a friend have decided to go on the Upir Demo group, but we where wondering about the tools need. So if you are looking forward to join in this group and you have other Q about it, post it! i might have skiped it.

"Unit requirements: Helmet is required and a small toolkit as an add on to the uniform. The toolkit must contain a small shovel, a saw, rope and a wirecutter. Will be required to manufacture some props pre-game like mines and TNT charges. BE will send specs and blueprints. "
Q: How big or small the shovel will have to be? Because we have sizes from a gardener's hand foldable shovel that can fit in one hand up to regular big size shovels. I believe that what the crew might had in mind was something like a regular army shovel style? (if you can facilitate pics on what you reffer, perfect )
Saw, If it's just a wire saw or has to be a propper medium to big size saw. or even if its a foldable one?
Rope, will just using paracord will work or it has to be a stronger and bigger diameter of the rope? How many meters minimum/max?
Wirecutter, again, regular hardware store style (bomb defusing style) or one that is as big as your finger?
Because, if there is no more specific explanation with this, you could go with a multitool that has everything but the shovel. Or even better! With a chinesee shovel! You can do everything with it....... but i feel it might make loose the "LARP" thing for the props.
Here are a few suggestions from my side where they keep the stetics of a engenieer loadout yet are lightweith.
Shovel =
Regular army standar try fold shovel, keep it simple yet in the role. You can find them everywhere and arent expensive
Saw:
Gerber Freescape Camp Saw, foldable, lightweith yet able to have a decent size when deployed. (user decision to go with this specific version)
Rope:
(9mm) Medium size rope style, not too fat, not too thing, it gives just the right look for a decent and sturdy rope (also functional! ) That you can just attach on the side of a mini map backpack.
((( You can find them on ebay cheap for 10$ aprox, example
https://www.amazon.com/Inch-Foot-Rope-B ... words=rope)))
Wirecutter:
Hardware store wirecutter, nothing fancy but it works.
For the props..... i'm waiting to see the blueprints, but i guess it might be something cool!
Overall, i think its going to be fun to go around the combatzone while doind something else, repairing or setting up charges So sad we can not use pyros..... :/ ..... but how about using thunder Bs co2 grenades for the charges? that could be something, sound is a big thing, specially if you wanna blowout something instead of (oh, ok, it's destroyed now.)
