Amenities

The Milo range is far enough from the nearest town that you cannot run off to get lunch, water, sunscreen, etc during the match. This is an outdoor event. Sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's muddy. Bring lunch, water, sunscreen, bug spray, a hat, sunglasses, etc.
