Ingame helicopter with guns. Hell will have to freeze over before I miss this

We are going to have to get you some practise shooting trees then.

shooting trees is a reference to happenings during Berget 6 last year, not a suggestion to break the rules. Everyone has to read the rules because a question as to be answered at booking time if last year is anything to go by

Oh yeah, this is coming from a member of the group which asked the question

"What are the red pens for?"

The staff are likely to kick you for rule breaking, they did it to plenty of people last year. So be careful, nobody likes to get kicked out of a event in Sweden and have nothing to do for a week but try to pick up beautiful leggy blondes with huge breasts in pubs with great beer.

Actually, who wants to go to Sweden for a week? Screw Berget.

I'll be booking a ticket as soon as they come out.
So we are going nato again with Na fianna?

there is a separate Ireland thread at the berget-forum

I don't see the point of using it. <shrug> We have a discussion thread already, right here. And an Info thread. And we can create more if needed.

Two inevitably polluted threads are better than 3. Or 4, or 5.

FYI: There will be no group bookings for the initial ticket release on the 31st October.

Please keep in mind that the first ticket release won't allow group bookings of tickets.

You can only buy one at the time.

Reminder for everyone interested:

First batch of tickets are getting released in two days (Friday 31st). Before attempting booking, please familiarise yourself with the rules since you will be asked a couple of rules randomly to allow you proceed with finalising your booking.

yeah thanks for reminder, think ill go ahead with first batch.

So it looks like we are going for nato and Na Fianna again?

Lo, last year we had some issues with getting our aegs upgraded at the event, I can help out with upgrades and repairs if needed, and i'm sure there will be others that can also help.

I'd recommend going for the food option, It was simple but edible and you dont have to grab it at specific times, it gets delivered to your base so you can grab it when you get chance instead of specific meal times.but still bring some bars etc for out in the field.

We should try to make a list of stuff we need and see whos bringing what, we dont all need to bring chargers or stoves, just as long as we have enough between us( wonder how long an inflatable couch would last).

Also might bring something besides my p90, i loved it at berget as it was very accurate and compact, especialy with a stargate sling, but the 60 round mags were a bit of a pain as no-one makes mid caps for them. and theres no such thing as too many speed loaders

NATO, Na Fianna again me thinks. I might apply for the NATO LRRP * team but that's all up in the air as to whether or not command will want one.

There is also a shop in Stockholm that stocks Tru-spec stuff; Tru-spec have MRE packs. So what I was thinking of to cut down weight was placing an order with them 6 weeks or so before the event and collecting.

There are also a couple of outdoor shops who do camping gas and wayfarer boil-in-the-bag meal bags (incredibly edible).

I'll dig up the lists that were made & posted for this year's event. Quite comprehensive if I recall and we can only improve upon them with experience already learned.



* LRRP: Long Range Recce Patrol

Curtsey of Lemming from last year.

The obvious stuff:

AEG + Pistol (and ammo obviously)
Sleeping bag + ground mat
Webbing, knee pads, eye-protection, etc.
Cloths/Boots
Rain-gear

The not so obvious:

Washkit + Towels (I've got special towels that are ultra-thin when folded up yet as big as bath towels)
Reppellant & Sunblock
Torch

Personal choice:

Radio kit
Cooking gear:
Collapsable stove
Small kettle
Mess-tin set
Cutlery
Plastic mug
Food (ranging from Boil-in-bag meals, to stuff I can pack into my webbing like energy bars)
Collapsable camping chair
Compass
Portable medical kit

Now.. Try hawling all that on your back from Dublin - to StockHolm - To Sundsvall - To Härnösand..

Cheers Conkey. I'll revise that list a little though with this year's experience:


The obvious stuff:

• AEG + Sidearm
• Sleeping bag + ground mat
• Webbing, knee pads, eye-protection, etc.
• Hydration pack/Water bottles
• Clothes/Boots
• Rain-gear

The not so obvious:

• Washkit + Towels (e.g. lifeventure do special towels that are ultra compact yet as big as bath towels)
• Reppellant & Sunblock
• Torch

Personal choice:

• Comms Gear
• Cooking gear:
  • Collapsable stove
  • Mess-tin set
  • Cutlery
  • Plastic mug
• Compass
• Portable medical kit

I've removed food, ammo, GBB & cooking gas (if needed) from that list, but am going to mention it now. You can either choose to bring it with you, or see about pre-ordering/picking up stuff in Stockholm on the way to the event, which will save you valuable weight. Trust me on the weight thing ...

One last thing .... for the love of monkeys, get a decent bag that you can wear on your back for all of this. It'll make transporting stuff so much easier, especially when walking through Stockholm.
