It's confusing as hell, not because it's not the regulation colour, but 'cause it's the same colour as the Polly armbands. How could that be confusing? If it is on his head, he is dead. If it is on his arm he is a Poldavian. Even a color blind person could get that right. If I am in a firefight wit...

Never shot the things but they seemed to work ok, even with the unit that we had flashing "turn key" occasionally on reset. They seemed to cause some interference with CB radios though. The one time our van was hit it happened while driving past a jeep + a checkpoint so the shot must have been comin...

yasirotta, you might have just been unlucky with your encounters (which of course sucks). As Firm employees we went round the game area a fair amount both with and without long guns / battle rigs, and got into very tense encounters with both NAF and Poldavian folks but were never simply shot on sigh...

Get electrolyte replacement tablets or sports drink concentrate especially if you are prone to cramping. Pure water is not enough if you sweat a lot and in some cases can even flush away minerals. You can take your pick: put non-sugar electrolyte tablets in your camelbak, carry a canteen with strong...

It is claimed to have IP55 protection which would mean protection against directed water spray. Should be enough unless you plan to go swimming :) I guess IP68 would be completely waterproof so you could dump it in a bucket and it would still work. Unless you specifically need frequencies other than...

For B9 I am thinking of taking a piece of tarp or thick plastic to make a dry floor for the Berget's tent. Plus will certainly dig a small ditch around the tent to collect water outside and not under my sleeping bag. A tip - make absolutely sure that the edges of the tarp are above the edge of the ...

skinner, How is it with the sealskinz socks, do they cause blisters? I remembered that I have a pair of them but have never used them in rigorous activities, partly because they are fairly thick and feel like they might cause hotspots in the longer run. Otherwise when it comes to Berget, consider sp...

Is there any chance to see higher-quallity or longer version if available (720p would be nice, or less-compressed version of standard definition video )? I would not mind downloading raw Berget videos via eg. big-ass torrent, even if most of it would not be nicely edited like the one in Youtube link.

Given the fact that trees and bushes were busy sprouting new leaves, most of the wooded area was very light green in general color. There were times when 1st Coy with traditional darkish woodland pattern stood out as a dark blob against very pale green foliage. At night, in pine woods, WL did have s...

Much less mosquitoes than I expected. There was the smaller variety (mäkärä, cannot recall the english word) which tried biting me around goggles, but repellant worked nicely on them also. I do have itching spots in my forearms now but that was just because I had to roll up my sleeves on Sat when th...

Glimpses of surprise were caught forever in my mind as people tripped over tents and sleeping bags trying to reach their guns, as people yelled hit with food in their mouths and as most of them were just calling hits in their underware. It was a great wakeup call, made my morning :) I had just pull...

Delaying action of Pol 1st Inf/1st Coy in the road between Eagle Cliff and Great Crossroads, during late Thu night. We ran into a huge amount of NAF soldiers and several vehicles with mounted MGs and did a fighting retreat to positions on higher ground close to the crossroads. Whilst taking a flanki...
