We’ve had a request from Ubar on the forums to provide details of an event going on at the IED site in the near future. For those not familiar IED is a true mil-sim site, which runs weekend patrol games with so much land at their disposal in North Wales that it’s almost unfair. This event is something different though:
We are running an Escape & Evasion exercise over 7/8th October at our North Wales site.
This will last 24 hours with an approximate start time of 1200hrs Saturday.
You will have minimal kit as one of those being hunted. You must bring all your own kit as once eliminated you will join the hunter force. The rest of your kit will be safely cached at a harbour area.
As one of those being hunted you will be allowed to carry;
10 matches.
2 black plastic bin bags.
Half a British 24hr rat pack.
1 Pistol with one mag. No reloads.
Basha
3ltr water (H & S will require this otherwise it would be puritabs & a puddle!!)
Any other kit will be advised via an update edit to this post.Kit can only be carried in 1 utility pouch. If it doesn’t fit then improvise. :)
Other than clothing, if it isn’t on this list it isn’t allowed.
You will be in teams of 2 & will be hunted by a force comprising serving & ex Brit/NATO forces. You will be carrying information containing grid refs of cached food/water/weapons/ammunition at different locations around the site. These grid refs will be time dependent. Each 2 man team will have a time window for each location. The hunter force will have no idea of the caches, only by catching you will they be able to find the grid refs.
We have 700+ acres of woodland & open areas secured from the surrounding hills. You will have to make your way to these grid refs avoiding the hunter force who will be using vehicles as well as highly experienced sniper teams to track you. Once captured they have discretion to extract information from you. How they do that is up to them!!
Hunter force.
You will be fully equipped as a normal op & operate from a secured harbour area. You will have access to vehicles including mil land rovers as well as a nice warm doss bag, maybe a tent, warm scoff & hot brews aplenty.Please indicate interest here & tell us whether you would like to be a hunter or hunted. If one of the unfortunates being hunted please understand you will potentially be out all night without a sleeping bag or tent. There is very little likelihood of hot food.
Cost will be 25.
This 24 hour event will include the oppurtunity to learn some useful navigation & survival skills, something we offer through the parent company as proper courses.

It goes without saying that this isn’t an event for the light-hearted, so please don’t go along expecting a four-star b&b with maid service. For more enquiries visit the relevant thread over on ASCUK or PM Ubar directly here (he’s been nagging me to put this up, so it’s only fair he handles the inevitable queries…
