Who brings a change of clothes paintballing?

We've brought garbage bags before, to line the seats of cars after.

Anyone who doesn't want to dirty up their car afterward? My paintball gear gets downright filthy (and smelly) after I play, so I change out of it and put it in a bag so it doesn't make a mess. Not to mention it's a lot more comfortable for the drive home and less offensive to anyone who might be riding with you in the car. If you're not going straight home, this is also a no-brainer.

I'm honestly surprised that anyone would ask this question. Do you have a girlfriend or wife? I'd wager not, by that response (no offense) ...

Not currently, no. I normally sit on a towel or something. IDK, maybe it's a good idea. I've just never thought I needed too.

Lists are a good idea.......

We went to a scenario last year the end of September. It was beautiful weather for a game. A little cold, but not a cloud in the sky. We got to the field early. Scored a great place to camp. Set everything up. We had all our guns and gear ready for the morning, vests, and packs the works.

Set up a great fire pit, brought lots of food and started to cook and eat while sitting around the fire pit, making plans for the following day. Watching the other teams come in and setting up their camps. Listening to the chatter. Life was goooood!

It was getting late. You see the frost forming on the grass outside of the camp area. The sky was crystal clear, and being miles from town, you could see a million stars.......I said to my son, "Where did we put the blankets?"

..........Long silence............and even a longer night!

Yeah, lists are a good thing.

Esp with today's staining paints, I would rather not get paint from my gear on my car's upholstery ...

I guess it depends whether you have a car you give a crap about too. But heck, clean yourself up! You never know who you might run into

Put on all the clothes we had, turned on the van and heater, and slept in the van under a plastic tarp! It was a long cold night.

Fortunately half of our team was coming in the morning so they brought our sleeping gear with them. We didn't have to go through that again the second night.

Hey, that makes for good memories, and we will never forget the blankets again!
