helmet
silly question, does anyone see a prepping type use for an Army helmet.....or is it a useless addition....just wondered.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Well it'll save a bang on the head...
Helmet or hard hat would be useful for exploring buildings and the like.

RE: helmet
I just wondered cos I noticed my favourite trader on my favourite car boot site had some when I went last sunday, never considered it myself, I mean ordinary "hard" hats should be cheap enough to get, I just wondered if an Army helmet had any advantages apart from the camouflage ?

You could sharpen the edges, odd-job style 
I'd rather go with one of the old school motorcycle helmets - the ones that don't cover your ears or face. More impact protection, and a damn site more comfortable I'd wager.

RE: helmet
I did see someone at a Roots Manouver gig wearing a US army helmet with "HIP HOP SOLDIER" scrawled on it. Protects against flying objects/stage divers/crowd surfers apparently

RE: helmet
We used to use them as cooking pots,..lol, it would then become a multi job item

Dont bother with Army helmets, or any at all for that matter unless you're likely going to be caught up in an area with civil disturbance type scenarios unfolding, even then, go for either a hockey or bicycle helmet, (search Ebay for "bern"). A military lid will just mark you out big time.
