Introduce Yourself! / Re: Greetings from Utah!

A trip to Zion? Ha, hahahaha. Oh the lulz. I'll give you a rundown of the state's airsoft scene.
A trip would be worth it when Weapon Blender throws their next Rhodesian Revolt. Otherwise...not so much. It'd be making a two day drive for a normal day of Saturday airsoft. RR is kinda like a the combination of Fallout, FarCry 2/3, and the Choose Your Own Adventure novels. Open world, factions, politics, and an in game currency (there's a LOT more). The game nets anywhere from 200-250 players. All of your food, ammunition, and water is purchased in game with in game currency. It sounds a little hardcore, but it isn't. It's a blast.
Here's a video compiled by a third party of RR 2.0.

RR2.0 took place this last summer over the course of 3 days out on some private property that Weapon Blender owns. It's about 280 acres of fully developed property. The club I'm a member of Utah County Airsoft. UCA is the PR/Airsoft wing of Weapon Blender. We help run the whole game, as almost 90% of our members volunteer for admin positions. We're really connected in name only to Weapon Blender. Most of our members work at the store, but the store doesn't support us financially in any way.
Here's our most recent private game on the property (no scenario, just a fun day of UCA airsoft). You'll notice that there are more buildings in the village as compared to the village of RR2.0. UCA is tasked with building the site and generally maintaining the property.

Aaaaand the website for the "Sandbox". http://battlethebox.com/
If you're interested, here's my club's website. http://utahcountyairsoft.net/
There are an innumerable amount of clubs in the state, but the three big ones are Black Ops Elite (stay awaaaaay), Black Thorn Airsoft, and UCA. Black Ops Elite has a checkered past, the current leaders of the organization have been known to lie about previous military service that never happened, and are usually the source of 100% of the state's airsoft drama (they wear rank, call themselves/each other by rank, wear SOF flashes + SOF pins on green berets, and generally make my blood boil with Stolen Valor fury). Black Thorn Airsoft is more or less the collection of the majority of the state's airsofters who don't want to milsim, but who want to avoid the BoE drama. If you happen to find yourself up in Utah itching to Airsoft, BTA generally runs games every Saturday. Their primary venue for communication is Facebook.
