    Influencers are everywhere these days. For me personally, there are a lot out there who don’t really do much other than push discount codes in your faces and share for likes. Airsoft has been a long journey for me so far, and it will continue, but I wanted to give a nod to the people…

    Just in case it interests anyone, I recently did some testing of a ghillie base at my local airsoft site, Dirty Dog Airsoft, and made a couple of very short videos. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mgUvE4wBN8o https://www.youtube.com/shorts/poSnKHpD8L0 It’s important when making a ghillie to not just observe it at 1 metre range, but to drop it into different places…

    The downtime afforded by covid has at least given a lot of time to sit, think, analyse and reflect. I’ve picked up a great many projects surrounding airsoft, both internal and external too, which has kept me extremely busy and perhaps a little off the path of my own kit. Yesterday someone asked me how…

    For most players, there’s probably very little to write about this year. Certainly when I sat down to write this, I was just going to write the title and one sentence : “Airsoft in 2020 was shit” And then leave it at that. But, looking back through my notebooks and at the ever evolving kit…

    Sparked by a question, put to a sniper, on a recent podcast. “How do we take you out?” (risky question to answer). If I was in that seat, I don’t think I’d be giving any secrets away. Certainly nothing useful. However, it is a situation that crops up quite often at skirmish – getting rid…

    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…

    Without food and water you will die. Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. So for any trip airsofting, be it just a skirmish day or a multiple day event, you’ll need plenty of both to get you through. But how much? And what’s the best sort of stuff to take? The easier…

    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…

    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…
