Dang! It takes a whole week to prep your airsoft gear? You going off to war or something?

Essentially, he is. When I set up my Paintball gear to go play it usually takes about two days, especially in the beginning of the season. However, I have not played in a few years since money has been so tight. I imagine Airsoft requires just as much if not more prep. Have fun Steel. :-)

plus i only play occasionally at large games that are quite a production, so prep is needed including pre-game chain of command commuications, etc. so i have to go through everything. not to mention an RV so Nidia and the dogs can come along for the weekend. and this is a Vietnam reenactment, so special gear and uniforms.
