Look for these things when choosing a location for your course:
-
If you dont own your own property to build your course on, (most don't) find an area tha has long since been abandoned, and not visible by any roads for people to complain
-
Try to build it by nearby junk-dump sights. This has two bonuses. One is the constant dumping of junk will supply your course with endless material for bunkers (ie. old matresses, plywood, sofas oil barrels containing toxic waste...). The other is, if whomever does own it does nothing about the junk dumping, he probably won't care if you're there.
- Make shure you have an easy way of getting there! A secluded area is nice, but it's not worth it if the path there is a five mile hike through southern Brazil (ATV's and dirt bikes help loads!).
- Find somewhere with variety. Woods are good, but with too much of them, no one finds each other, which makes games take too long. Clearings are good for speedball bunkers, but no woods can get boring. A blend of these is needed for a good course (banks and creeks are tight too).
Getting Building Supplies
Some ways to get building stuff:
- one of the most important materials for a good courseis pallets pallets and more pallets! Lows,
Home Depo, and other hardware stores usualy throw away anwhere from 50 to 75 of these every week. Just get someone with a van to pull up and you can take as many as you want!

Note: this sight is by no way affiliated with that of Nathan Miller,
a friend of mine who has the paintball skills equivalent to that of a deranged howler monkey on
Prozac and whose gun could not hit the broad side of Ms. Wedgeworth.
