“I’ve seen more people quit MSW events because they lacked the proper jacket or sleeping bag than I have seen due to physical challenges.” With MilSim West’s 40-hour events, you are running a marathon versus a sprint. And just like running a marathon, you need to be able to plan accordingly. That means considering the location of the event and the weather. Oftentimes, these considerations come secondary or even tricenary to a lot of players. This naive mistake can lead to a lot of issues. Fieldcraft isn’t about learning how to endure the suck, it’s about making the suck, suck less In the military, there’s a piece of slang – “the suck,” which basically refers to external influences causing an individual to go internal, that mental space where there is no hope and only pain. MilSim West will bring players to the suck, but proper planning will alleviate this easily. We’ll be talking about cold & wet weather gear, food, sleep systems, and rucks. Related: New to Milsim...
