Does anyone know the cost, less travel expenses?

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a
pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him. Pirates never were very smart.

I'm going out on a limb here to say that, if they do indeed charge similarly to past Best of USA Marketing events, it will be in the 120-130 range.  Less for BofUSA event "veterans."

Nate, you actually bought one of those Range Vests?   :P  
Either way, it's crye, so it will sell.  Put it on LF and prepare for a torrent of PMs!

Ya, Nate, sell whichever set of MC bdu's you don't like as much and all but one or two of your expensive rigs. (I say expensive to specifically not include the ones you made. You probably put too much work into those to sell them.) After selling all of the stuff that you aren't going to be using anymore, you'd be able to fly most of AA to Irene first class! :lol:

I seriously would like to go, but my schedule is currently up in the air. I'm pretty sure that I will be free to do something like this in Sept, though.

Has anyone looked at tickets yet? SWA looks like it will be about $250 round trip if booked soon.

Or just me on some exotic airplane with plenty of naked chicks.

And damnit, that range vest is kickass, christian. I'm gonna wear it once or twice at the 30th. It's got everything you need for minor use. Hydra pack, side webbing, all of it.. too bad they sold it to me when I said not to.
But.. it works for me. I'll live!

I might sell the satch, Greg! And.. I'm keeping both of the bdu sets. Ones got the feild top, ones got the combat top.. works fer meh! Should I post pics.. they're just about here..

Back on topic, what team are you guys intending to be on? Delta, or Charlie?

If you're new to airsoft, or traveling.. take a year to learn the sport. I took a year, I skipped LC3.

And, cancel everything I said. I mean.. I'd fly there, meet who at the aiport? I can't get a car.. since I'm not 21, I wouldn't know where to go, etc. I'd be so lost. Money wouldn't be the issue.. the plane ticket there and back would do just fine, but everything else, I'd screw up on, and end up at like.. Ny, Ny.

I can rent a car at my age since I'm in the military, but I will not travel with more than 1 other person.

I think I know who that person will be.

How about renting a mini van?  27 hours, 14 minutes Total Est. Distance: 1868.97 miles If we get   4 guys your looking at 360-400 dollars in gas
plus another $325-375 for suv/mini van

So 4 guys your still talking 200 bux apiece, but you dont have to rent a car when we get there!
 
We wont have to ship our gear

Only thing is the 27 hour drive and with stops your talking 30-32 hours on the road

An idea if you wish an RV. No stopping just only for gas and the dump station. Thats an idea that my family has used in the past. The RV has been across the us twice over the time we've had it. So its an idea.

6 people is the total cap for traveling in a 24ft class C. gas will be a pain, propane, heading to dump station. I have an RV in the yard, but its too large for me to move around the house.

1992 ford e-350, class C 24ft, Tioga montara special. last used 8 months ago.

EDit . with 6 people thats near 1300 for gas, food, supplies. and a lot of humanwaste.
