Wear any type of boot that appeals to you.
5.11, Wolverine, and Timberland are good choices. , In the event that someone falls into a thorn bush or gets cut, sanitize and cover wounds. , Make sure it's the voltage that it is set for, because you do not want to ruin you gearbox. ,, Before the game starts shoot your gun(s) off a couple times just to put a mental note of how far the bb travels. , Have zip ties handy, as they a very effective role in restraining POWs (prisoners of war) when taking them hostage.
