Yesterday we started our BBQ Season 2016 and it was a great day. It was a spontaneous meeting of all kinds of different people (graphic designers, musicians, teachers, DJs, promoters, moms and dads, etc.) and it was fun to see some tactical gear piled up in one corner…

Most of the backpacks are not owned by Airsofters or in MIL-gear interested people, but I think my addiction spread… 😉 (BTW, it`s good to see people leaving the Eastpak way…)
I wanted to post this 12 days ago, but I think it is still worth it.
New Year’s Eve 2015: I was working in Munich, Germany, near the main train station “Hauptbahnhof” where Police forces evacuated two railways stations and urged the public to stay away from large crowds, amid an imminent threat from IS terrorists. It was a bit uneasy, because the venue I`ve been was only 5 minutes away by foot…
Police said that forces from the whole of southern Bavaria had been brought into the city for the public’s safety after receiving intelligence that between five and seven suspected terrorists, including two suicide bombers, had been planning an attack.

Perhaps you have already seen this in the news and checked out the dope looking SWAT guys, but here is a headline from Munich`s newspaper Abendzeitung the next day:

While walking by and reading the headline I was a bit amused, because the sarcastic title roughly translates “Terror alarm on New Year`s Eve – WHAT A GOOD START“.
Thinking about all Geardos and Airsoft players standing in front of the newspaper and checking out the picture, I think it is not a bad start at all! 😉
When was the last time I saw such cool looking German SF forces rockin the headlines? 😎
After experiencing some health problems after an injury, I am back and looking forward getting into Airsoft and gear, again! 🙂
With my focus still being on Soviet A`stan gear, I got my hands on a cool BVD vest which was on my list for months.
If you a geek you`ll already know/see that this is a replica 😉 but I am very satisfied with the vest, atm. Original vests are very expensive and becoming more and more a pain to acquire, so I`ll stick with this one for now. I will try alter the appearance within the next months to make it look more “real steel”-ish, so it looks to part for all you hardcore nerds 😉 !
The vest offers plenty of pouches to store all the needed gear for any Airsoft-/Milsim event. I will do a complete loadout/vest kitlist breakdown to show you all my gear that I plan to carry to the next game, soon.
Stay tuned! 🙂
Something “funny” for a sad anniversary…
Not really a Geardoshit 1:1 scale Mil-Airsoft thingy – but “funny as hell”! 😉
I am back from vacation in Italy. I spent quality time with some buddies and had time to get rid of annoying stress at work/at home. Anything related to gear and Militaria also went on pause, but a tiny bit of Geardo-ism popped up at the second day… 🙂
We drunk a load of different beers and came across this one:
A first sight it is an ordinary beer, but when turning the can it became clear that is was an anniversary edition for the Italian Mountain Troopers!
A little bit of Military is everywhere! 🙂 Have a good one, lads!
Today it is time for a new post showing my in-game airsoft loadout from last weekend. This was put together just for fun with no real impression in mind. I decided to go with a classic SSO Sumrak suit (with some added foliage/cloth strips) combined with a mid-2000 made Smersh rig and my AKMS + suppressor. (click all pictures to enlarge)
Taking a break:
On the hunt…
Some gun detail (reworked LCT`s surface):
Here you are…
This loadout reminds me a bit of Spetsnaz 45th Guards and other guys “in action”:
Temperature was around 28-30 degrees Celsius and the Sumrak was a good thing to have. It is light as a feather, very comfy (like a romper) and in combination with Smersh a dope solution staying lightweight.
We had teams of 25 players on each side and it was a great day. I was the only Russian styled player and with a Sumrak suit more like a outcast between all those “mainstream” Multicam/Marpat/Flecktarn guys. Hahahahaah! 😉
For those who are interested in this camo and how it works in different lighting conditions – here comes the sun:
With sun shining and shadows from trees and bushes around, I think the Sumrak works very well. If I would add more selected cloth strips (better colors matching the background), I think it could work almost as a sniper`s ghillie.
My fav pic:
Can`t wait to go playing again! 🙂
Saturday I joined another Airsoft event and I/were happy to have some pics taken. This time I was not after an actual impression, more of a fun and casual loadout (it was around 28-30 degress Celsius!).
While browsing the camera`s content, a few shots reminded me of famous photographs showing Russian legend Anatoly Lebed in the field.
