Matt's milsim essentials 1-8: 8 m-4 AEGs.
Hey whats the inner barrel length for the CYMA L96?
@@lukamazzoni1346 Wouldn't I like to know.
more like 8 hi-capas
💀💀
Bring a buddy. Comradery is the greatest comfort.
You can throw in a pen and paper for taking notes(or doodles), and a map of the AO of your milsim you are attending
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.
Excellent info!
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.

This was helpful 😊 thanks Matt I’ll send this to my guys who are just getting into Milsim
The way you pulled out the "Rule" papers! LOL
This will come in handy when I'm actually able to afford it
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.
Or buy Garmont. No Break in necessary
@@Skulclaimr they are expensive, not great for carrying weight with and a hit or miss on quality. But I will say they are a tier for running without weight.
@@Blondie-Actual hahaha, quite the opposite. The GTX's are prime for rucking, combat environment, and rough terrain. With waterproof design and rugged construction they've lasted me over a year since I got them through combatives, team exercises and the like.
@@Skulclaimr either you are very lucky, or you shave normal sized feet. Cries in size 12 length but size 9 width.
Me sees milsim stuff
Also me: Bill C-21 will cancel all Canadian milsim players and milsim if not stopped
We heard! We are spreading the news. Hopefully it does not pass!
@@evikecom thank you so much😀
Jeez Canada is so anti gun they r going after airsoft ??
Wearing a thin pair of socks along with thick wool socks help fix blister problems with shoes and boots :)
YES !! Wool socks for the win
You forgot trash bags. Have somewhere to leave your trash when you have to camp or if you’re just sitting around snacking and not moving. Can also help keep your gear clean and dry if there’s rain
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.
Everyone’s m4:
Me: I have scar h
M14 socom
Yooooo same
Im planning to get a scar l for my first airsoft gun
My man I got a xm177
hand warmers and extra snacks/food I found were the deal breakers for me when I went to a milsim OP back in 2015. Super cold and was soaked to the bone thanks to trudging through a swamp. Didn't have any food and I was shivering to hell and back.
The desert locust are in no way, shape, or form anti fog goggles.
We have changed your #4 at our milsims, death rag is replaced by a yellow reflective vest. Our marshals and staff wear the orange reflective vest.
I haven't play Milsim yet and I can't wait to play
I’m going to my first milsim soon so this is perfect
Matt: Wear comfortable solomans
Me: Wearing jungle boots 😕
Laughs in issued RAT boots.
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.
Tactical bug zapper & sun screen!
C'mon Matt well all know part of it is looking cool as well! ;)
Most important one imo is 'correct mindset'
Agreed!
Thanks matt
Matt: "Thank you! We put a lot of effort into making our content informative without being boring. Your thanks means the world to us. Keep watching!"
Don’t worry I will keep watching and stay subscriber
Hey Matt what do you think is the best holster for the airsoft smith and Wesson m&p 40 ?
Missed opportunity to make "da-rules" book
What is a good backpack you run for milsim events? Looking at American Milsim events and need a backpack.
speed loader for sure
READ THE RULES and maybe the pre-game briefing can be a few hours shorter!
this is like my dad telling me everything that I need to know before I go hiking>
Can you guys do a video on the Canadian bill c-21 as it can end airsoft/paintball in canada. It would really help to get the word out, and it can help others in other countries if their gov gets the same idea.
We are working on a video already. Stand by.
You can find revision on Amazon for a decent price

i would bring a lighter for the end a a strap on your backpack or something that frayed.
and dont forget to bring more food or snack
continue the top ten aegs with your airsoft colleagues
Fun fact: we did! Stay tuned!
First Aid Kit.
Hey um just a thought, what about tp?
I have a question are you allowed to bring medication to most milsims or do they make you register them before because I take two types of allergy medication
Contact the milsim organizers with this question.
@@evikecom thank you!
evike matt the airsoft equivalent of Jesus
Man I really wish i had airsoft stuff around me, I REALLY wanna start doing it but again…none near me and I don’t have any buddies interested in it XD
my #1 would be snacks
hey Matt don't we need some snacks?
Matt just eats BB's.
(don't really eat BB's, kids. There was a time when this sort of disclaimer wasn't necessary. But, here we are).
When I first heard him say about hydration bladder, I had for the longest thought he was thinking a lag bag catheter
hey matt, i want to buy a pdw type airsoft gun that is under $250 but i can’t seem to find any? can you help me out with this?
The King Arms PDW's are a great option. They come with either M4 magwell or an MP5 version!
King Arms M4 PDW SBR - www.evike.com/products/94435/
King Arms PDW 9mm SBR - www.evike.com/products/92824/
The Valken ASL PDW is also worth a look! - www.evike.com/products/18072/
If you don't want an 'M4', the P90 is a solid choice - www.evike.com/products/39653/
Have you considered CYMA's options, like a 74u or the Bizon? - www.evike.com/products/41727/
Hope this helps!
First aid kit
#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

speedsoft essentials?
What about toilet paper? Hehe
If anyone knows where to get that shirt
Secound
Hey matt
Boots, Hand Sanitizer, Toilet Paper, Cigarettes, water, no particular order.
Been playing for 8 years and now finally thinking of doing milsim events. Do you need a tent, sleeping bag or something (or rather how necessary are they?)? I think other than that I got all the boxes checked.
If they provide the attendees with some sort of building, bring sleeping bag and mattress. If not, bring tent too or at least a hammock. Once i went to milsim event, we slept in the parking spot and i use my bag as mattress, not a pleasant experience.
@@samuelandreas8028 I know this is a few months late, but i gotta question. How do the other players view people that do not stay there overnight, but stay in a hotel? I ask this because i am thinking of going to a event in November, but i sleep with a cpap machine. I literally cannot sleep without it. Is that frowned upon?
@@joelaton1062 it's fine, bro, you do what you need to do. As long as you have fun dan take care of yourself. But keep in mind milsim also have night operations too, it's not like we sleep 8 hours, last time i only have 2hours to take a rest. So, you know what suit you the best.
Is there an age limit for a milsim
In general, yes. Every event coordinator has their own age restrictions. Check with their rules on their website.
2nd
Arma 3 irl😲😲
Speedsoft next.
No just no
@@1Loftwing1 Why not? Are you one of those people who divide airsoft as a whole into two play styles and have never tried it for yourself just because you’ve seen a few bad videos and stories that speak of a few bad moments of a play style?
GERNADES
Footwear....just in general.... for Airsoft is imperative. Can't tell you how many guys I see just wearing sneakers 😬
#6 does not apply to texas right now
Why y’all not sell to nyc
Legislation.
How about a snack or two
Why are polarstars so expensive
Fancy internals

@@evikecom I can't believe I forgot about that, I'm sorry, just gave it a second view to make up for it
First
lets start off with 200$ boots lol
1:38 me at 14 wearing size 13 shoes :| (I use these btw)
Bring a bottel of water
I only have one issue with this list... I hate electrical tape! it's to dirty and leaves a ton of sticky residue every where it goes. I'd prefer gorilla or duct tape but tape is definitely a good peice of kit👍
I think you should have included deodorant and tissues!
Good advice! Especially deodorant.
Toilet paper 🧻
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Knee pads.
Don't ask for Jet or Leah's Milsim essentials cause nobody cares anymore.
