November Foxtrot - Airsoft MilSim Podcast

With a last minute adjustment to our scheduling, we're stripping it back and firing from the hip with a fast-paced round of “This or That: Airsoft Edition.” From plate carriers vs chest rigs, pyro vs blank fire, woodland vs urban, to gas vs AEG—we’ll be picking sides and probably arguing about them too. Expect rapid takes, spontaneous rants, and the usual NoFo banter.

It’s episode 220 of the November Foxtrot Podcast and this week, we’re taking a deep dive into our own kit cupboards. From the items we never leave behind to the weird and wonderful pieces that have somehow earned a permanent spot in our loadouts, we’ll be chatting through the gear that’s made a difference — and some that probably didn’t!

We’ll be sharing the good, the bad and the “why do I even still carry this?” across our setups — including niche kit recommendations, clever little hacks, and a few hilltop rants about gear that just doesn't live up to the hype. Whether you're just getting started or you’ve been refining your rig for years, there might be something to steal... ahem, we mean learn from our personal experiences.

This week on the November Foxtrot Podcast, we’re excited to welcome the organisers of UK Airsoft Ladies (UKAL) to talk about their unique, empowering event: Girls Weekend Away (GWA). Designed by women, for women, this June’s three-day weekend provides an immersive airsoft experience - complete with rental kit, camping, and a social atmosphere centered on inclusivity.

We’ll delve into what makes GWA special: it features a dedicated Girls vs Girls game, mixed Sunday play welcoming all participants, plus a fun Friday-night social. It’s more than just firing BBs - it’s a space for support, camaraderie, and celebration of female airsofters. Beyond describing the games, we’ll explore the event’s roots in the UKAL mission - to create a comfortable, empowering environment for women in a predominantly male sport. Our guests will share insights into the planning, the atmosphere, and their vision for women’s participation going forward.

Tune in to hear about the incredible success of the first Girls Weekend Away - featuring friendship, fun, and foaming mags - and learn how upcoming events aim to push empowerment and community even further.
