Camp beds

...yes, very camp sometimes... but anyway...

A post on the BE forum I saw today reminded me that beds will not be allowed in the Berget tents. I disagree with the reasoning behind this (so don't moan at me), but that's what the rules say.

If you're planning on bringing a bed, it's probably best to save yourself the effort unless you're also bringing your own tent.

I found it.

QUOTE,
Sleeping in-game
Most participants will be sleeping in by crew provided military tents. There will be a 6 hour game-off during night in all base areas (03:00 and 09:00). Keep quiet during these times and respect your sleeping teammates.

Berget-events issue one sleeping place for every ticket holder. Worth noticing that we will not put furnaces in the tents so everyone should bring warm sleeping bags. Your gear should be stored under a tarp outside the tent during the night. Each tent has a capacity to hold 14-16 men. It is prohibited to bring tent beds to tents supplied by Berget-Events. All participants can bring their own tents but the tents need to be military in character and hold at least 12 people.

To awoid the risk of theft, we recommend that your team store objects of value in a large wooden box with a lock outside the tent. These can be rented from Berget-events. Just email info@berget-events.com if you are interested.

Chances are we'll all be put in tents with our sections and I'm sure if he has a back problem no one will mind so I wouldnt worry

Yeah, don't worry. Kris will give him a medical exemption. It's a storage issue, we'll manage ok.

Jeez! Lugging one of those big campbeds to Berget along with all my other kit would give me a sore back!

erm, bring warm sleeping bags? no furnace in tents? are you mad?

Summer in northern Sweden... 23 hours of sunlight... its going to be cool for possibly an hour or two, and baking for the rest... advising people bring wintergrade sleep gear may result in several boiled airsofters... and you dont want to have to clean that up...

Lemming says no... and hes a berget vet.... guard duty... cold... sleeping no...

But if you're cold you can always have a nice firefight before bed to warm up. Admitedly, after a day of fighting, you wont give a damn how mildly chilly it is... bed = zonk.

Lemmings not the only Vet here, it gets cold at night. He stayed warm because him and Trev were cuddling.

Lemming is one of those peculiar people who don't feel the cold. I love the heat, the hotter the better.

Me and Devilsbreath brought a light black fleece each last year. Came in very handy at night(or what you would call night) when you were around basecamp and were looking for a little extra warmth. Its near number 1 on my list for this year too. That and a sleeping bag that actually comes up above my waist.
