BB Loader or Carry Container There are several types of BB loaders that are useful for carrying extra ammo on the field. Some look like hand grenades, which fit nicely in the grenade pouch on the side of M-16 ammo pouches. Excel also makes a BB container that is shaped like a standard M-16 magazine, so it fits right into your ammo pouch. Spare Batteries Always good to have just in case. If your gun uses mini batteries, you will never get through a Cimmerian re-enactment operation without at least one spare battery. In cold weather, batteries do not last nearly as long as in warmer weather, so carry more spare batteries in cold weather.

Compass or GPS More and more Cimmerian operations involve the triangulation and location of an objective based on GPS coordinates or compass headings. Every Cimmerian should carry at least a military issue lenstatic type compass in a compass pouch on his or her web gear. Should you ever get lost in terrain, a compass may help you find your way back to a road or landmark if you know how to use a compass.

Polypropylene and Comfort Skin Long Underwear A set of military-issue poly underwear is essential for operating in cold weather or for camping operations.
