the BIGGEST thing you should bring, is boxers, underwear, whatever you wear. vedy important.
lot of paper towels, and some cleaning water, of course drinks. always try to drink before going back out on the field. you wont regret it.
or you could just get a camel pack and go on the field with that, tho it usually warms in the tube and isn't great, but you'll love it when you need it.

My british army sniper veil has proved invaluable time and time again.

I usually take a small pack with some extra food in it. I have found that spectras can actually be worn and eaten in at the same time. Once I borrowed a hydra storm from some buddies that was awesome as well. This goes more if you stay in the field for extended periods of time, Once I slept in the feild as to not lose my postition.

Headset radios.

Flatline barrels.

Gun Slings

Red lights. Red will illuminate but will preserve some element of stealth at night.

Some sort of scope for spotting can be good.

Support weaponry. If you can get a hold of some, mines, bazooka's filled with shotgun round (basically pods) and other stuff like that.

Well i always find that toilet paper is a life saver. You can use it in the woods, bathroom, bucket,ext. you can also find a pile of un broken paintballs on the ground, break them, soak all the paint up with a wad of TP and chuck at enemy (results may vary) Also my sling shot for when my gun/backup both run out of air.

Extra clothes are important, especially if you have to travel and camp. Not only game clothes, but after game stuff as well. Never bet on the weather. I packed bdu pants and t-shirts to D-Day this past year and nearly froze my butt off in the early morning. Also, comfortable shoes for in game as well as after.

Bring more than one marker. Some people laugh at me when they see I brought three or four markers with me to a game, however it is never a bad idea to bring you main marker, a back up, and even a back up to the back up if you have one. That way you will still get to play.

Extra gear is necessary. Bring a second mask, as well as lenses for your primary. Make sure you have something to clean the mask off while on the field. I carry a small spray bottle of water with me on the field. That way if I get a head shot, or alot of spray, I can clean things off when I get to the dead zone, and not worry about getting left over paint smeered across my lenses.

Bring some kind of hydration pack, or at least a military style canteen with a straw. These are probablly as valuable as your marker when playing. Depending on where you go, some places will have drinking water at the dead zones, others will not. Also, if you are in the field for a long time, because you havn't ran into a major fire fight, or just survived. You will need water. I usually carry a standard 60oz bladder, as well as an extra 20 oz canteen. That way I have enough.

Go on the field with enough paint that you don't have to reload every 10 minuts. Figure out what style of play you like to do. If you are a sneeky scout, sniper, or point man, you probablly will use less paint than someone who has a fast trigger and knows how to lay down suppression fire. Suppression gunners = Carry alot of paint!!!!!. The last thing your team needs is for you to run out of paint when they are storming a bunker.

It is also a good thought to carry an extra air tank or two with you, dependign on what type of air systems you use. Compressed tanks can get kinda heavy, but it sometimes is a hell of a long walk back to a dead zone, or stageing area to get more air if you run out.

Map cases are nice. Get something with a clear window that you can look at the map through. These are good for several reasions. If it is raining, you can still look at the map, without getting it wet and nasty. Also you can use the window as a writing area. You can plot positions, take notes, as well as draw in certin things you have seen. This is great if you are playing a game on a large field where ther is alot going on.

The list can continue as long as the games are, but those are probablly the essentials. The rest is really up to the individual player. Everyone is different. Play some scenario/big games and figure out what is best for you.

I have to admit that I don't carry a lot of gear on the field with me. Pod pack, radio, and my marker and that are about it.

I have been looking at the TAC vest that they have at www.cops911.com I have a teammate that got a custom made vest and it was really friggin cool. I never thought about get one in the past but after seeing his I think that I might get one.

[doc_Zox]

Water

if yer not peeing clear you are dehydrating

the Cops 911 vest has a camelback pocket

being able to grab a drink with a mask on whenever you want will keep you operational

[Xyxyll]

Yeah, that's another good point. The Cops911 vests are pretty cool. My team has a custom vest. It's on the site, TVI Vest.

[Niterocker]

I would suggest a spare gun. Even if you are handy at repairing your gun, there are many times when you don't want to spend your valuable time fixing your main. This is particularly important if your guns are old, tempermental and/or ghetto fabulous. Ask anyone who has played with me.

Bring a good flashlight. They are not only needed at times during the night game, but to manuver through the dead zone after dark.

If you are a smoker, bring extra cigarettes! I'm always bumming off people by the end of the game.
