AO's Problem Child
Youre under 18?
A good practice for legends.... go out and play at a local place. Carry 6 pods of paint with you, a camel pak, and your gun. Do not put anything down in between games. Carry your gun and mask with you at all times. Keep this up for around 8 hours.

this will be my first game ever with more than 50 people. I plan on using my 6 x 1 harness and carry water in the spot for the air tank and probably a couple of grainola bars as well. I would think if you don't raise your mask up and are not in a firefight you should be able to sip some water without the refs giving you flak.

My rule of thumb is to have the amount of paint on me that I have air. Or real close to it. No more no less. Don't want any Added weight that I don't need. That way off field time is fully productive. A cheap water blader for quick water. I normally have 1gl on me in the morning. And refill at noon break. You will need it. And I keep a few granola energy bars on me for in game play. Other than that. I run as light as I can. But I supply up to make it all morning. Then resupply for all afternoon. I stay on field. And rest on field. Figure a warm body is better than no body.
http://www.ansgear.com/BT_Static_Pai...staticvest.htm. This is the vest I use. It was cheap. And decently made. Quite comfortable. And you blhave full mobility. My water bladder is from Walmart. And actually I hit the elliptical hard for at least a month prior to a big game. I'm in decent shape year round. But these games will kick your endurance in the butt. And kick it hard. Especially if your an up front aggressive player. And for the shape I'm in when I play big games. The weight I carry kicks my butt and I hurt bad come Monday. So I stress go as light as you can depending on your phisical shape. Carry less on fields and go back to restock a time or 2 in the morning and afternoon.
I found with a 4500 68ci tank having 5 160 ball dye pods and my halo hopper works perfect with my old classic RT. Ran out of paint right before air. Push come to shove. Borrow a pod. Or be a distraction with dry firing for that couple of minutes your out but still on field.

Mind you im 31. 5" 10". 160lb. I work 40-80 hours at work a week. Work at a skating rink on the side. And work on / dragrace motorcycles.
Here is the preset workout I start with. But I generally up resistance and %ramp. Also I don't follow there rpm base well. I normally hold a lot higher rpm. 90 is the max rpm I can phisically run on this machine for a short distance at light climb and resistance and 30rpm is a brisk walk. if that helps you scale my consistent speed of 65-75 rpm with my overall max running speed and brisk walking speed.
So here is what i cram in. 30 minutes to an hour daily. No less than 65 revolutions per minute. With varying degrees of slope and tension. On the elliptical at home the tension doesn't ever go below 6 (out of 15). And the climb is never below 25 out of 35. And if you have never spent any time on an elliptical you don't have a clue how good a endurance workout you can get.
I think this year for the month leading up I'm gonna start doing it with a loaded pack to add the weight in I will be carrying. (Clarification.). Month leading up to any big game I play. LL will be missed. The overall expense is keeping me away from that one.

I'm actually hoping to be in better shape this year if I make it. Joined the Y and been taking some classes and swimming laps one day a week. Once I get in a little better shape I hope to increase this a bit.

This is really key. There's no need to carry 1200 rounds of paint if you're only going to get 800 on your tank of air. And there's no need to carry two air tanks if you're not going to carry a case of paint. Set your paint and air to run out at very close to the same time, and you can save yourself a lot of weight and reload both at the same time.

also, at legends, if you yell "out of paint" full pods seem to anonomously find you on the field
its truly amazing
Dirty Frank
I definitely agree with this. I bring about 30 pods. I prefill them and put them in a cooler. I only carry five pods on the field at a time and use a 90-45 with SHP reg. This gets me through all five pods without getting too low, in the rare case that I don't get shot before running out of paint. Prefilling the pods lets me spend as little time in staging as possible. I can just swap out the pods and go. Last year, Valken was selling pods for $1 each, so I stocked up.

The staging area is secure enough to leave a cooler full of paint?
Waterford, MI
currently they have not published the location of staging area, the closer it is to camping and parking I would assume the less secure it will get

I haven't had a problem the last two years I did this. Two years ago, I left it in the TechPB tent. Last year, the place we setup our camp was close enough to the field, that I just staged out of our camp. It was nice to grab a quick snack while swapping pods, so I'll probably do it this way again this year. I would say that 99% of the players at this event are respectful of others' property. There is always that one douchebag who wants to ruin it for everyone else, though. I guess it's a risk I'm willing to take.

yea i work weird hours 8 am till im done so i cant commit to anything really
great lmk asap please!!!
i have a ninja 45/45 how much you think i can get through that? it is so damn light its unreal i could carry two tanks lol. you think that will be good enough a 45/45? they should fill it to the top and not short me like the dive shop. what i really need is links to packs that i need to look at that will work for us. i kinda like the vest and we will need to carry water and some snack bars lol

I posted a vest link above. If you want the full front instead of the strap front they have that for about 10 dollars more. The water bladder actually fits in a pouch on the back. 1gl of water. Then a few hand fulls of ice and it will stay cool half the day in 100° heat.
As far as paint to air consumption. I can squeek 1200 rounds out of my 68 45 tank. Since that is a max number I Cary short of that in paint. If for some reason I run out and still have enough air to do anything I borrow a pod or handful and that gets me through just fine.
Dirty Frank
I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from Sean.
They will have self-fill stations near the insertion points. It really depends on how well the compressors are keeping up. Last year, they kept up fairly well. I think the lowest-pressure fill I got was about 3.5k. That was during a busy point in the day.
How many pods you'll get out of it will be the same as how many you get out of it during normal play. I'm guessing you will probably get about a full loader, plus 3 pods out of it. I get a full loader plus 4 pods out of my 68/45.
