To add to everything listed above:

Wool socks are a godsend, they're warm even when wet

A nice tarp to cover all ur stuff back at base in case it rains or to sleep on/under if it rains

Insect repellent (mostly summer games but still good to have)

First aid kit

Good, comfortable boots, don't cheap out on these tho

Nope, this stuff goes to your base.

when you go in game you are in game for the full time, you eat, sleep and shit goggles on.

There is no safe zone, only the place the weak and i'll prepared go to hide when they quit.

It's always bittersweet seeing people tap out at milsims, sweet because I know I can endure more, but bitter because now there's less people to shoot at!
