Hey

I was considering going this weekend, and I think I would be able to keep warm (thermals are the best) but sleeping gear is not something I prepared too well for. Should've thought of it last week, oh well.

Socks (you guys really seem to like them) and food I think I can manage. But I might need some more equipment for sleeping (which I have, just not at my place) before I can actually go. I have a heavy down comforter, but I guess a sleeping bag would be a good idea.

Well, hey, March isn't too far away either. I'm sure I can get everything in order in the mean time.

And I certainly have a good pair of boots. They're work boots, unfortunately, but they're not terribly unusual work. Also got a pair of light costume boots, might as well take both.

Thanks for all the help guys. Very fast responses! I'm looking forward to whenever I get a chance to take part.

I've been wearing the same pair of black waterproof workbooks here at game for 5 years

I know that a few people bring extra sleeping bags so you could ask around. If you wanted to come out for this event.

Hey Lukas,

I'm John, a Safety Marshal and along with the rest of the Safety Staff, one of the last folks you want to have to see on a professional level should something happen that gets you hurt/sick.

That being said, having a decent sleeping bag for the temperatures is a sound idea. One can make do with multiples of blankets in a pinch but there is a method to doing this properly to ensure comfort.... and that comforter will help.


HOWEVER... I do NOT recommend this for your first event though as if you don't have it planned out well enough when using blankets to wrap in, its very possible you will be getting a visit from me or one of the other Safety Marshals due to hypothermia.

I DO recommend a light blanket for the inside of your sleeping bag though- some makes of bags do not have a good barrier at the zipper and cold can seep in. Placing the in-the-bag blanket against the zipper will help with that issue.

And as its been mentioned many times, bring many pairs of socks. I recommend six pair at a minimum... but as some might say, not even that is enough.

Any questions, please feel free to ask away. If I don't know, I can find the answer or send you to someone who knows.

Well I think I actually have everything in order, so if I can get a ride I can hopefully come out tomorrow.
