Ok, so tomorrow is my first outdoor outing with my own gear. I'm heading down to Hells for their airsoft day and I'm hoping I have a real good time. My checklist so far is- Charging my battery tonight. My Combat Machine is in a bag, with barrel bag. Magazines are in side pouches, just two high caps as I'm just starting out. I bought some elite force bios, and I should have plenty. I get full seal with my Flakjaks and glasses. A pair of my old waterproof work boots. And a water bottle, I plan on picking up a gallon, maybe 2, to refill with.
Is there anything else I should bring that you guys would recommend? Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

People still play airsoft at Hell's Survivors during their open airsoft days on Saturdays?

I would add Bug Spray and a Dead Rag to the list.

I always like to bring a towel and change of clothes so I don't have to drive home covered in mud and my own stink.
Other than what you've listed don't forget to bring a positive attitude.
Have fun out there!

My first and only AEG, I'm just getting started, but I'll definitely make a note of that in the future when I get my next rifle. Sent from my SGH-T999 using proboards

Pretty much have a spare for any of your essentials. Examples being clothes to change into, extra batterys, backup gun (if owned), extra water/food, boots (shoes if you prefer to drive in them), and SOCKS. The reason extra socks is important is that nothing is worse then trying to drive home in soggy/drenched socks inside of boots.

One thing that I always remember now is some basic tools, Dont bring a toolbox, but a few screw drivers, a few allen keys, some electrical tape, and some duct tape never hurt anyone. Never forget an unjamming rod, nothing sucks more than having a BB lodged in your barrel and having nothing to get it out with, and having to be the guy walking around searching for a guy who brought his. A few rags for really anything, they come in handy. Last and the most important, some form of antifog (Dish soap/Lens wipes/Something with detergent in it) nothing can ruin a day of airsofting more than constantly fogging goggles, trust me, ive been there one to many times, and its number one on my checklist for a reason. Hope the advice helps, and have fun!

This. The extra gun is useless when your batteries die (and they will eventually at a long game).

Don't forget e tape, and I try to always bring super glue. Not only does it fix cracked parts, it makes a great on the spot bandaid. I bring screw drivers, allen wrenches, and a pocket knife in case you need to cut something. I also tend to over prepare with things like, battery charger, extra battery, bug spray, anti itch spray/cream.. Extra kill rag, change of clothes, and depending where I'm playing, I bring a snake bite kit haha.. One of the most important items I bring are boot laces.
Too many times I have needed to tie something up, but I also ran the snipers roll for many years.
Like I said, I always over prepare. My motto is, you never know what can happen, bring any and everything! Most I keep in a bag in the truck though.
