1) overnight game SUCKS for gbbr. Because temperature has a direct effect on the conversion of liquid gas into volume (nRT= PV), expect to need to adjust your hop every 4-5 hrs in the field. You don't have this issue with aegs.

2)4-6L of water on top of the 2-3L in your bladder if it's hot. At least 3L for autumn or spring games.

3) 24 hr games are too short for "real" tin food. Muesli bars and protein with caffeinated doft drinks as a pick me up for those 5 min at base while your guys are gearing up for the next mission. That said, a hot cup of coffee at 5 am in the morning is priceless too. Pack food as a team.

5) Energizer red-white headlamp or Pretz(?). WEAR THIS AROUND YOUR NECK. Seen too many guys wearing these on their head, bump into a branch in a firefight/patrol, and lose their light. The red light functions well as a kill-light too.

6) Red light is overrated. Once your eyes are flushed with white light it takes about 30 minutes for your rod and cone cells to restore the sodium channels (i.e. your night, monochromic vision will disappear). Use red light for navigation; don't go shy on white light when shit gets real.
