safety glasses- also have it or go home

hydration- min. 2 canteens or 1 hydration pack
compass- so you dont get lost
radio- two of them, one sniper tac 1, one team channel
ghillie suit- as needed
camera- as needed
garden shears- to remove veg.
knife- helpfull
multi-tool- gerber, leatherman
bug spray- mmmm.
pen and paper- ok pencils are nice too!
dry erase marker- for marking on maps.
your weapon. but that goes without saying



winter time extras
hand warmers
extra set of bdu's and socks, no really socks come in handy

"sniper" is not just a gun and a ghillie, it is a playing style. Until you realize that, you are not one.

as far as suits i will always recomend making your own.
most professional snipers consider making your own a "rite-of-passage"
that being said there are too many types for me to say over the forum, "you should buy this one"
the reason is i don't know what kind of load you can bear, or your size.
many people buy the ghillie in a bag, Army Barracks have them... but they need work to be useable... as classic found out after "finishing" his home made suit, after he used it in the field changes needed to be made.
but, back to the original questioin.
if you are a sniper, a "crawl" style suit works great on the field untill winter.
during winter we, most of us change out to a poncho style which keeps our legs free and clear while offering us high mobility and concealment up top.
autum is coming fast and a veg suit os a great way to prep for the coming months untill sniw fall.
i will be having a simple veg suit out for the game on sunday.
fish net, some veggie ties and i will be all set.

Ghost, very well said. I use a crawler, because thats the position im in 90% of the time, but its totaly up to your playing style. I would go do some research and find ut which type of suit is best for you

Guns dont kill people, but 7.62mm holes in vital organs do.
