Whilst this game is not on as harsh a site at Churchill's Revenge or Bryansk, it is still pretty tough going on foot with some steep climbs.
It may be very hot and sunny, in which case you will need plenty of water, so make sure you have something to carry it in. We'll provide drinking water stations, but make sure you have something in the field with you. Same goes for food, don't rely on Helga's generosity to get you through the weekend. Bring your own munchies. Ask Pete59 about the effects of heat stroke! 
Also, I know I ALWAYS say this and no-one EVER listens.....don't drink too much. As usual, Guy and Jay will be checking up on you all to make sure you are reasonably sober. 
Better to be sober and play than too hungover to get out of your tent......eh Kav?
On the other hand, it might rain for the whole weekend in which case I copy and paste the following from Guy's recommendations for Bryansk:
To all players , please take heed . It may rain & it may rain for 24 hours, so.....
1: If you have spare kit, uniforms, boots etc take them and leave them in your car. Better a dry pair of farby boots to change into on Sunday, or some black/OD trousers than nothing at all . I'd rather you run around in jeans on Sunday than leave Saturday coz your uniform is wet. Same goes for jumpers, gloves etc that will keep you warm if need be .
2: Tents, ponchos, zelts - fabsil them now, and next week and the week following . If you have stuff like Goretex bivi bags or plastic DPM bashas then bring them . They will keep your stuff dry inside a tent, can be strung up in the trees to provide shelter. I'd rather you have comfort than 100% authenticity .
3: Stuff left inside your tents: weapons, clothes, sleeping bags. Wrap them in two or three bin liners. They will stay dry all day. Even better consider getting hold of dry bags - they are 100% waterproof. Do not rely on any tent to keep your stuff dry - it won't. Plan to keep the stuff inside dry as well.
4: Helmets keep your head much dryer than soft headwear.
5: Socks - take lots of spare pairs, changing socks every six hours even with wet boots will help you keep comfortable. It's a small boost in a wet world; but works wonders on your morale .
I (and Guy) will be in a pup tent, using a basha sheet as a ground sheet, with clean dry gear encased in dry bags, sleeping in a nice warm sleeping bag on top a thermarest an inside a bivi bag. Last year at CR I slept two nights up there (went up on Friday for setting up) Pissed down with rain the full weekend and my stuff stayed dry and I was comfortable.
Some links :-
Basha sheets - use them to line pup tent floors
The sleeping bag link is to a termarest sleep mat.
Do you have a link to the bag?
Cheers
Ranj
God knows, it was Guy's link.

I know TaffyJohn has a British Army outdoors mess set - which Helga's gonna be using for the CBH.
There might be a spare burner or 2, mostly players take their own cooking facilities.
we're in a lucky position that TaffyJohn has laid on the cooking facilities/Tea urn
The cooker has 6 burning points 
and we have a petrol one but that is a one burner
Is it coz I is Welsh
Welsh and proud
Your all fekin bonkers
Sweet cheers Taff. I'll get myself a few BBQ's aswell.
Crickey. At first glance I thought that was one of those flight cases they bring bodies back with 
I mean I knew it was going to be a hard weekend, but....!!!
Great links, Steve - just bought myself a large rucksack liner.
Also brining a complete change of kit, just in case - Luftwaffe Field Division - the anti-heroes! 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Aye orderly queue ( 
as if you lot could manage that 
) behind me for first dibs on the cooker. Taff what size are the pots you have ? and do you have implements (ladels/sharp 
k-niffs?)
Only have 2 large pans about a gallon each, have plenty of large ladles and knives, also got some smaller pans, frying pan and large kettle. People will have to bring own dishes or mess tins though Helga you have first dibs on the cooker and we have Moose to help you hes a scouser but as good as gold

What's the chance we're allowed to get a fire going? (probably mentioned in another thread, but cba to use the 'search' button right now)
Yeah, come on Taffy - it's a CiA tradition.... we end up singing "Kum bye ar, m'Lord...." 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
... and get naked
... and get naked
Another great CiA tradition!
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Fire
Already done, wood there for you and more to be taken this week, all we ask is you dig a fire pit and keep it to one area, Logs are all around you so work party time

Your all fekin bonkers
When 'we' were at Churchill's Revenge - Snyper/Gadge went 'posh' and built a very nice - SLATE LINED fire
Ask Chommer's - he lost his arse to the flames
i think i was on clothsline duty when that happend 
theres nowt so Permanent as temporary
Someone bring petrol if it's raining please.....
hmm what if it's dry when we arrive? maybe a pre-determined, safety collection of petrol would benefit?
