SABRE100 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 How is the digital camo going? Compared to the older camo? I play in a pretty dense wooded area and i try to keep my loadout as simple as possible in order not to have to many snags. Usually whatever gun I'm using, an oldschool amo belt, my super sexy satchel and of course my classic bdu set. Next up for me will be some sort of gille,upper body only, that will help me stalk a little more effectively. Link to post Share on other sites
Haji Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Well, there's a small world: finding another Kentuckian (well, I'm a Californian still, but I'm living in Kentucky. Guess that makes me a quasi-expat) on a forum on the other side of the world. My jungle rig consists of a chest rig and a hell of a lot of water. I'm running a customized SOTech Hellcat, but the Tactical Tailor MAV (Modular Assault Vest) is similar and somewhat less expensive. The less gear you wrap your body in (such as an assault vest) the cooler you're gonna be. Now, don't misunderstand that statement. I did not mean "buy less gear". That's heresy. edited to add pic of me in Hellcat Link to post Share on other sites
Cinder Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 The ACU really work better in urban and desert, and they're not too great at night. They blend in well enough with woods, but MARPAT and CADPAT are much better. The US woodland works better in the jungle/dense woodland because of most foliage having broad leaves.

GI0VANNI Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Just make sure your replica gun is water proof maybe some tape... and thinking abour loadout... as less as possible, in my case it means just the bdu, bandana and H belt with some clips attached and lots of water, of course, the famous poncho is useless, noisy and always trying to take some "vegetables" with it, not to talk about that XXXXX plastic doesn't allow your "bodywater" to go out, it is just melting or "soldier's sausage". the playing range is very short and less things menas less noise and sufocation Link to post Share on other sites

Machineabuse Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Heh, I grew up and served in a tropical country. Jungles are not fun. Ditch the inner shirts. Forget rolling up your sleeves it's not going to help and it keeps the bugs off you. Speaking of which get a repellant stick and treat your collar and cuffs. Forget water proofs and anything leather. Canvas boots and lightweight cottons are your friends. You will get soaked, so plan to get things that will dry as you go instead of trying to stay dry. Get fatigues that fit, no larger no smaller. Every square inch of extra fabric is going to be dead weight once it gets wet. Webbing is your friend. Vests are evil balls of stifling heat. Make sure all your pockets have drain holes. Cotton socks. Stick 2 pairs in your first line in sealable plastic bags. In fact get a carton or two of those sealable plastic bags and stick everything in em if you don't already. All the best to your brother! An friend of a friend took a round in the shoulder a couple weeks back in Fallujah. As long as he keeps eyes up he ought to be fine. Link to post Share on other sites

M1911A2 guy Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Although this isn't me in the jungle, this loadout based on the MFR jungle loadout. Just need a real camelback form my older bro and I'll be set. I'm in the process of getting everything swapped over to OD instead of black, and all of the black gear will either be sold or used in a desert loadout. Link to post Share on other sites

Phoenix Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hehe, I've heard about the monster mosquitoes yall have up there. In July and August its almost unbarable for me to play airsoft here in GA. Much more comfortable at the lake or camping. Webbing definatly helps. Link to post Share on other sites
FireFox Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Me in the Minnesota thick brush. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ahhh its a minnesotaian (or how ever you spell it). The brush in that picture looks very similar to brush at the site I at play in Wisconsin. Our football team is still better though. Link to post Share on other sites
revsd5 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 After awhile you just forget about the god for saken brutel amount of bugs flying around you. Ya, sometimes I think the misqeties are as big as caddys. You may be good at football, but we OWN cricket!! Link to post Share on other sites
