    Ultimately, we’re not just here to look and act like potted plants. We still want to shoot people, and there’s a lot more to it than just pointing the gun and pulling the trigger. I’ve always advised players to build their rifles up from scratch so they get a better understanding of how it works…

    Partly a response to a question I had in a Haloscreen group, and also something I haven’t covered yet but was meaning to. Cotton leaves for ghillie suits. These are really becoming a key component of Haloscreen groups but I’ve also seen people doing cotton-only 3D on their suits, like Joseph Keller (@instagram – I’m…

    Behind every good sniper, is another one. I know I’ve said that a few times before because my phones predictive text brought it up instantly. In game, having a second pair of eyes and a second rifle obviously doubles your capabilities – more firepower, more awareness, and more brain cells. It’s the voice behind you…

    I’m not going to cover loads of kit in this section, certainly campers have a massive array of equipment to play with, but if you’re just camping you’ll have more time and space to carry and play with kit (for the most part). The aim of this guide was to keep a streamlined, simple setup…

    Just a quick one on bags to carry all your kit in, and how to pack them. It will depend on the nature of your event and whether you’re taking everything around with you (tip – stash it somewhere you can get to later), or whether you’re doing things from the safe zone, where you…

    Cooking At some point, you’ll need to eat. During the day, if there’s a battle going on, you may be limited to cold or dried food just to keep going. And that’s fine, I regularly do short skirmishes on just a hot dog in a bun. But to survive a weekend will need a lot…

    One of the things that puts people off camping the most is that it’s generally viewed as cold, wet and uncomfortable. In the tents section, I’ve covered the shelter side of things which removes the wet factor. A good sleeping bag (seperate section here) is your best weapon against the cold but what else can…

    Everyone needs sleep. The sleeping bag is a vital piece of kit because not only does it give you something to sleep comfortably in, but it will also keep you warm and alive overnight. There’s quite a bit of choice and a few different details to consider, so I’ll begin with the oh-so-important temperature ratings…

    Shelter. Sleeping quarters. Workshop. The tent is your base camp for the weekend, is likely to be the most expensive piece of kit and you need to choose carefully. It needs to keep you protected from the elements and give you the space you need to sleep, store kit and get yourself organised. Survival rule…
