To participate in the hobby with us at actual events, you will need to have certain uniform and equipment items, or as we call it "kit." We have divided these up into Level 1 (must haves), Level 2 (should haves), and Level 3 (would be nice to haves). If you have any questions about these items or where to get them at the best price, reach out to one of the unit leaders.
