    I used to do these when i was in the Army. i was also a medic in the army, so had a first aid kit or IFAK. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND ONE!!!! The essentials aren't like the army ones with a tourniquet, but it includes ace wraps (2), triangle bandage (2), Roller Gauze (2), SAM Splint (reusable splints that meld to what you shape it as, 1 long and 1 short), and BANDAIDS AND NEOSPORIN. Also, if you are prone to blisters, be sure to bring moleskin or stockings....yes pantyhose. These can assisst with chaffing and trust me, your feet are your most important asset in these events and if they go down, so do you.

  • @ruskiepanda
    @ruskiepanda Před 3 lety +31

    Bring some humility, you don't know who your teammates are going to be (some maybe ex military or LE) and try to be respectful to everyone (this includes your teammates, enemy players, role-players, and cadre/admin personnel). For footwear, have good ankle protection (sprain ankles suck) and according to what I heard in the military, it takes 1 to 2 weeks to break in a pair of boots depending on how much time you spend wearing them (blisters suck). Change out wet socks as often as possible because wet socks causes wet feet which can cause blisters (happened to me in basic). Do NOT forget some form of hearing protection and hearing loss is usually permanent.

    About the breaking in of boots, dont think you can get away without it, you will very quickly start feeling warm spots on the balls of your feet, and your heel, that is going to be uncomfortable at first, slowly ramping up In pain, untill boom you take off your boots and there is a big ass blister, or an abrasion from a popped blister. Also bring spare parts of thick socks, and change them every 2 or so hours, or if they get wet.

    Curious why no basic first aid (supplies and training)? Band aids, aspirin, foldable splint as a basic. A real TQ, sling, bandages for real emergencies. If someone slips and falls, slits open an arm, leg etc... sure you can call a "no duff" and wait for real help... but if you are able to treat yourself or others quicker, all the better.

    Footwear: Military combat boots. Good enough for the military, good enough for milsims.
    Hydration bladder should be mandatory. Water is a must, no matter where you are.
    Ear pro is really not a necessary since it's part of a milsim event. But if you must have some, some basic ear plugs will work.
    Dead rags/ dead lights are common sense. I have dead lights that flash red, and dead rags as a back up.
    Watches, which can be had for a buck or two, can be found at a dollar store.
    Weather gear, should be common sense.
    Batteries: Always carry spare lipos for guns, and power banks for rechargeables.
    Basic multi tool, multi allen key set, and duct tape, and knife should be something everyone should always have at all times.
    Compass and map reading skills makes the milsim go easier.
    MREs are a great option and they are delicious.
    First aid kit. Never know if you might need one, either for yourself, or someone else.
    Skills on how to properly pack your gear and know where all pieces of your gear is at all times helps as well.

    #4: Does anyone make one of these that is compact, easy to deploy, easy to repack, and will last for a whole weekend?
    I've used the EF dead rag shown three or four times, and I love the convenience... but I hate the fact the deploy and storage tab will rip off the dead rag itself in short order. The fabric of that dead rag is deliberately thin (to allow for good compression and easy storage) but it makes it woefully inadequate to standing up to any kind of long-term use. Between the hook side of the velcro tearing it up and simply pulling on the tab to deploy it, I have yet to have one last more than a couple of days.

      Same here, I have a lot of issues with the edges fraying with mine. Also, it is kind of a pain to stuff that thing back into the pouch when you’re in a firefight getting revived or a similar situation, I’d rather just have a cheap one I can pull in and out of my pocket. that way if I do lose it, no biggie🤷🏻‍♂️these ones are like $8 tho so that’s not really that much but my field sells super cheap ones for like $2.50 that say Enola Gaye on them (I think they’re promo material from a previously held event) so I think I’ll stick with those from now on

    I think you should have included deodorant and tissues!
