The Black Ridge standard

  • Bring gear you know how to use. A dependable, familiar setup is more valuable than an overloaded one.
  • Prioritize safety and field rules. Every item must meet event requirements before it enters the rotation.
  • Build for the mission. Loadouts should support the team plan, terrain, and duration of the operation.
