If you´re strong enough to carry it with you out into the game area you should be strong enough to bring your trash back from the game area. There is no excuse för littering.

Indeed, I hate to see stuff like that lying around in the forest.

Plus it's illegal and gives airsofters a bad reputation!!
When people from outside the scandinavian countries come here and we say "It's allowed to walk freely in the forrest" they react with: "YAAAY! Lets cut down trees, litter the place and burn sometning!!"
This in NOT the case... Please educate yourself before being jackasses...

That's why i always think/say "just look, don' t touch ( "Nur gucken, nicht anfassen"); we all are only guests on this planet!!!

Oh, this list is so neat. But, few things I'm taking, apart from what mentioned here:
- Duct tape
- Beanie hat, 'cause it gets cold an I'm bald.
- Melatonin & caffeine pills. One puts you down, the other gets you up.
- Insect repellant.
- Insect repellant again, because it's super important.
- Scarf, OD.
- Airsoft goggles, maybe?
- There is no such thing as enough batteries and BB's.
- Set of tools and oil for weapon maintenance.
- Piece of rope. Comes in handy.
- E-tool? Not decided yet.
- Airsoft Claymores, for base defence.
- GPS satnav. Finally I won't get lost.
- Compass, because the GPS won't work anyway.
- Few isotonic drinks (Isostar, Gatorade, etc.), it's better than drinking plain water all day long.
- Extra spoon. Someone is gonna nick the first one.
- Knee pads.
- Adult magazines. Because you can trade it for anything you forgot to bring along.

Thanks Jerry!

I will update my list with some of your recommended equipment.

Kit in your uniform

• Compass + Map
  Mosquito repellent

Combat equipment

• Eye protection
  Airsoft cleaning kit (Silicon oil + rod)

Optional Extra Equipment

• Beanie hat (if cold or when sleeping)
  Knee pads
  Airsoft tool set
  Melatonin & caffeine pills. One puts you down, the other gets you up.

Tactical Advice (for whom it may concern)
Equipment check (before going on patrol)
For those who will use my kit list. When you have all your kit on you, try jumping a few times. Does your kit rattle and clank to much? Then try to minimize the noise. Example, if you have metal thermos put a sock over it. The mess kit, put paper inside that the metal don't rattle.

Here is an explanation how to pack US gear. If I find the time, I will shoot a short clip about how I pack my stuff.

FYI: Ravens will have access to a special packing list once the private forums open.

Tip on mosquito repellants:

- Pack both 100% DEET and also Icaridin -based products with you. Mix them, apply both.

It's much more effective than just plain DEET alone for example.

One trick is to spray the inside/downside of the brim of our hat (boonie hat, cap etc) so that basically you have a repellant smell floating from that hat-brim all around your head at all times. Keeps surprisingly many mosquitos away from your face.

Just remember guys not to spray DEET -based repellent straight into gore-tex or similar fabrics. The stuff is so heavy it melts the gore-tex clothes. Spray it more to your skin or cotton based clothes, that your fancy arc'teryx gear Check this out:

Thanks for the heads up here... Would have been embarrassing fighting in my underwear... But then again, so did Rambo..

Stay clear of the straight bullet guys..

just use your brain, bring some clothes for wet wheater and mosqito repellant!

Stay away from 100% DEET the mosquitoes are not that bad. Granted there are a lot of them, but they are chased away by nearly any mosquito repellent. Just remember to reapply at intervals and know that they will land on non treated fabric.

Best of all learn to ignore them and their bites. There is no malaria, Dengue or Japanese encefalitt in Sweden.

I´ll post the Ravens packing list after the game for the rest of you
