A friend of mine gave me some of their old gear.

I got a woodland camo smock, desert camo nder armour shirt, trousers and smock. And a pretty nice backpack / holdall bag.

The Woodland smock is just in time too as I'll be up at First & Only Thunder Ranch in a couple of weeks.

I had a brilliant time just recently at Upper Heyford. Brilliant day with excellent people on each team. Some excellent scenario's played out coupled with the fact that it was a glorious summer day. All the rain we'd had the week before meant that there was plenty of long grass to hide in.

Isn't it just the right balance of tasks and freedom.

My only downer was not being able to get into as many buildings. But that'll hopefully get sorted in time.

I really like the site organisers and the thought they put into balancing the games - rather than just rattle off the same old scenarios over and over.

It goes on pretty well. My only problem is that there is only one place I can use desert camo - in a quarry. Otherwise I'm always in woodland or urban environments.

I really like the under armour shirt. It's just perfect.

nah, you'll realise quickly that the best place to use desert camo is in the fall, winter, and early spring before it gets super green. Even in the heat of the summer if you're in a lighter, wheat/grain/tall grass area, DPMs are amazing. They're even better than the American stuff!

Thanks for the tip. I'll look forwards to winter now.

UBACS are a godsend. I have a DDPM one, but I'm scouting for an MTP one. And yeah, it totally sucks that there aren't more places here in the UK that are DDPM friendly; there's so much of it around for so cheap now it's being replaced, and it looks sooo good!

*Ninja edit; get some Nikwax Tech Wash, and Cotton Proof for your 95 smock; those things are so great when they're properly waterproofed, and judging by the weather recently, you'll be glad you did!

Thanks for the tip. I have some left over proofing spray so will give the stocks a once over. The desert clothing was put in storage immediately after he returned so it appears to all be in good order.

I'd certainly like a UBACS in woodland or mtp to match everything else I have in woodland camo (British Army tactical vest mk1, camel pack, mesh mask, buff, and now this smock).

I waterproofed mine a week or so ago, and it hasn't let a drop through. If you can find a CS95 fleece liner for the smock (they're quite easy to get a hold of,) it'll be the warmest, most wind/waterproof thing you'll wear ;)

Webtex makes a DPM UBACS. It doesn't look bad, but comparing £40 for that, then the £3 I paid for my issue DDPM UBACS; I think I'll just keep my eyes on ebay for an MTP one; the stuff is gold-dust right now though :/
