Well I am not sure if we are still able to use the Twin Valley field or not with Dekker away for school now..... BUT..... I am able to get as many 55 gallon steel drums ( with lids ) as we would want. I was thinking for something along the lines of a fuel storage depot, or even some hazmat drums.
If you guys are able to source anything that can be used as props or anything like that lets hear it. Would be great to put them out on the field and add more and more to the field each season.

At Orin's (Phangos) grandpas place, we have a couple big wooden spools, 20+ oil drums, and some 40 ft of tarps we drape over stakes. and I would prefer to drive to a spot closer than Twin Valley. I was reading a while back about that motocross track which looked awesome.

You mean the field that Rekkon uses up in Thief River? Because that is even farther away from you guys in Jamestown

Would everyone be able to get two head wraps? This way we can use these to tell teams apart. And everyone will have one so we wont have to share, and we would be able to see who is who.

I would say green and brown.
Or can do two high visibility colors like blue and red? What do you guys think? As for size..... I go for a head scarf, so what ever size you like, just as long as it can be seen.

What about ribbons or strips of cloth that would be tied around a players arm? Just seems easier for everyone to wear than a head wrap/ scarf.

That is how we usually do it back home. Red and blue is good in one way cause it is a lot easier to identify a person, but the camo goes right out of the window...

It does but it doesn't.
I have done the arm band thing and it does work, but I have also had them fall off my arm and I didn't notice it. That and with colors like red and blue, they will really stand out in the woods, and when playing a milsim style game that can really throw things out the window.
I would love for people to have two different colored tops, but I know that can get expensive. Though most people to have vests with Molle straps on them... could always wrap them through a strap and call it good.
With the head wraps ( what some of us wear ) you can really see them when around the neck. That and it will make people id their targets before they just start shooting. And you can honestly see them really well when you are looking for them, and even more so if we get them in a bright color.

That sounds like good logic to me although I would prefer to not have a bright color for the reasons stated above. I'm assuming you're thinking green/tan maybe?

if by head wraps you include hats I could accomplish that much since I normally wear a hat anyways.

One or two here in Fargo, Twin Valley, and once in a while up in Thief River.
We are working on a CQB field just north of Fargo now.
Hats would be doable I think as well Brute.....good idea!

Just a thought, because I can't make up my mind about what would be the best color wise. (Not that I have much to say since I'm a newbie here) But Perhaps have "Dark Strong Colors" such as a Maroon instead of normal Red and a dark Navy instead of Royal. Less visible as far as camo goes, but still spotable. I would love for people to have two different colored tops, but I know that can get expensive. Though most people to have vests with Molle straps on them... could always wrap them through a strap and call it good. Regarding the different colored tops, it's great but could also be a bit unfair, since if we are in a "green area" the tans are quite visible. How ever the strap it to the MOLLE I like. And perhaps have a punishing system for TK, so people think before shooting more? I guess as long as we can agree on something so I can go out and look for some. Plus maybe it would be fair if we all had to wear the same stuff, otherwise one might show up with a bright red hat, while someone has a tiny string?
