RANGERBALL

Rangerball Packing List:

The big difference between Rangerball and regular "recball" or "woodsball" is that you'll be far from your vehicle, and will be moving longer distances through the terrain. So, you'll have to pack in what you need.

MANDATORY ITEM: Everyone must have a barrel plug, or barrel sock. These MUST be put on when your marker is not in use.

For our larger events (such as Suribachi) these items are strongly recommended:

Wrist watch (important for regeneration)
Camouflage/subdued clothing and gear -- anything bright, like pods, will highlight you.
Tactical vest and/or a small backpack. Pod loaders are OK, but don't carry much else.
Good hiking boots. Don't try to scale Suribachi with sneakers.
Gloves (there are stickers and sharp rocks)
Camelback, canteens, or at least water bottles for your backpack.
Snacks or protein bars. We'll be eating lunch in the AO, and you'll need the energy.
Civilian two-way radio (Motorolas are most common) with at least 22 channels AND subchannels.
A headset, throatmike, or at least an earbud with push-to-talk button.
Tools, gaskets, spare parts, etc. for your marker.
A couple of good squeegies or barrel swabs
Small roll of TP or packet of tissue

You should also consider these items:

Kneepads, hopfully the kind that don't slip down
Small handwarmers (these can be taped to your hopper to keep paintballs warm)
Extra socks (in case your feet get wet or cold)
A backup marker
Spotting scope (binoculars don't work with a mask on)
Thermal lenses, or at least good anti-fog spray
Extra lens for quick-change mask
Kneepads
A small camera to take pictures
Notepad to get people's contact info (you'll probably make some new friends)
Small flashlight
Cell phone (make sure you put it on vibrate, so your wife doesn't call during a firefight!)

For Suribachi in particular, since the weather is unpredictable:

Thermal underwear
A poncho, light rain jacket, or just a hefty bag
Stocking cap
Thermal lenses, or at least good anti-fog spray
Extra lens, if you have a quick-change mask

Did we mention water? Remember, BRING PLENTY OF WATER! Often, there is no source of potable water at the location. We don't want to have to carry you off the field with heatstroke or dehydration.
