I've just seen the list of stuff Richard's lending out to help people out.
Piling my gear up last night I realised at least half of it was for other people ...MP40 & mags , SS smock, flecktarn jacket, splinter jacket ,helmet , glasses .
It's no wonder we all have so much crap to transport around 
yup... I have major amounts of crap to give/sell to other people thats not on that list:
M1 Garand for Headshot
DVD for CW
Tommy Sling for Webby (I think it was him who wanted it)
Wound badge and an envelope of documents for Gadge
I also have all the arm bands and medic bands and 2 medic bags...
I only have a helmet to sell......
(Read into that what you will)
ooo good point... I'll bring my M1 helmet as well... lol that can lent out if need be
not forgetting the stuff that I'm transporting for Syd... ffs... including a pup tent!
Is Syd coming now then , or just lending stuff out ?
He'd better not be. 
Just lending stuff... he's delivering it to me tonight
I have to laugh at some of the questions I'm being asked, I think you might be onto something with your thoughts on airsofters Jay:
"never been to a 24hr event without toilets before. do we a. poop in a bag and take away or b. dig a hole.
know it sounds odd but didnt think to ask before"
Shitting in carrier bags , it's not the real Army now .
We've enough spades and ETs . SOP is dig a hole away from your mates and watch the squirrels / doggers
My three word reply was: 'Dig a hole'
Can we have small fire in fire pits?
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Yep no probs, I would suggest one or two per camp rather than every man and his bro having on though .
I suspect with all the rain finding dry wood will be a challenge.
Hows the back ?
Back is stil screwed.
Wet woods not a problem with an axe, a knife and a bit of cotton wool 
My belt order is really light my bergan with most of our cmaping/keeping dry at night kit is mahoosive but i should be able to hump it to the axis camp unless we can stick it on a vehicle?
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Isn't there a bit of a risk by starting fires in pine-needle covered woodland floor?
Hence fire pit, stone ring round it and sweep the needles out the way?

K. Will bring my flint striker then!

All German kit well truck down to the camp . We'll probably truck the Germans down as well. I'll probably keep asking you if you're ok during the weekend , when this gets to be anoying tell me to piss off ,though take it as concern not mathering 
.
Re fires you're all grown ups . We don't want massive 5th Nov bonfires but a couple of small camp fires will be sound .
Let's make that clear to all then. I can see some numpty gathering a few needles together on top of the needle bed and putting a match to it.
It's terrifying the speed that shit goes up, my relatives nearly lost their house in a massive forest fire (in Canada) because of some drunk students doing just that.
I'm cautious... 
I'm also now running on the Jay method of dealing with airsofters.
Hmm, might build a reflector and have a nice 'group basha' for warmth and drying out.
Did someone mention the magic word? - Fire! 
I'll chuck my small hand-axe in with the kit. I think the felling axe might be a bit excessive....
