#288: Scuba - Camaraderie of Airsoft: A Journey Through Mud, Gear, and Night Games

Who knew mud could be so life-changing? After a mud-drenched first game, my love for airsoft was ignited and I've been running, and occasionally slipping, around the field for nearly two years. . We'll take you back to our days at the Driverwood field, reminiscing about the camaraderie, the thrills, the unexpected fitness challenges, and the laugh-out-loud moments.

Did we mention the nighttime military base games? Nothing can quite prepare you for the sheer exhilaration! We'll share our experiences with gear upgrades and discuss the curious challenge of speedsoft. For the adrenaline junkies, we analyze the hard realities of playing milsim with no food or sleep, and compare the outdoor fields in the US and the UK. We'll also get into the nitty-gritty of gear, from the deafening noise of an EG 67 grenade, to the experience of playing a CQB course in a prison near Gloucester with sledgehammers and silhouette charges.

But airsoft is not just a game; it's a test of physical endurance, strategy, and creativity. Hear about the ingenious wheelchair-bound player who attached an airsoft claymore to his feet, and the unexpected challenges of running up a hill while being chased by cartels. And in a nod to my past football training, we explore why being fit for the game requires a different kind of fitness and the essential role of a good pair of boots. We wrap up our chat comparing our spending habits on airsoft and gaming equipment, and the exciting realm of VR in a gladiator arena. Come join us in this laughter-filled journey through the mud, the gear, the night games, and the friendships forged in the wonderful world of airsoft.
