So. What color helmets if Shtf?

[bellarum]

I'll know em when I see em I'll be the guy dressed in shorts, guns and mags at my house. You won't need to look for me. I'll be here.

Just wear any bicycle helmet no one will believe you can actually shoot.... though many can, and would.

I refuse to dress like a Mormon, as I don't want to offend Mormons.

In the discussions about ferin troops on us soil. When/if the pucky hits the fans. How will the patriots among us differentiate from the bad guys?. Say I have to bug out and I am a good guy but you can't tell for sure through your your Zeiss 4x12 Sasquatch 2000 scope? Sure my wife is with me but we got odd bits of camo and are both packin some heat? How do we keep from friendly fire amongst folks trying to get to safe ground? And join up with the good citizenry? And what will the renegade, desperado law breakers look like?

Food for thought.

Anything pink which has a hello kitty on it and you'll be good to go. Couple of ideas. The first one you can also be legal when you are riding your bike. Not sure about the Harley though.

 

[captqc]

Bad guys? Light blue helmets.

The use of symbols has been an age old form of unspoken communication for centuries. It identified who was safe. I'm guessing if the SHTF this tactic would quickly be implemented. Being able to spread the word (symbol) would be slow. You would have to avoid any/all use of electronic media because it is to easily compromised by the authorities.

Probably not black or red crosses like the crusaders as it would make a good target. I like the boonie hats/gadsden idea but some sort of friend or foe seems imperative.... Opfor, well, ya know, misinformation works both ways.

+1 and may even make you look like a non-threat.

If you hear russian, you're either near Silverton, OR, or...
Might be time to think STEALTH, INVISIBILITY, like ditch the orange huntin vest.
In my humble opinion...

 

[pokerace]

yellow, red or pink

 

[Certaindeaf]

Best helmet ever.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

You'll know me from spying my G3 variant.. if you see me at all

 

[osterr1999]

If things go bad here, imagine how bad they will be in places that are worse off than us. You are asking about helmets, but there will be no troops. You think they want to go to the US to restore order while their family starves at home. They will simply quit and walk away.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

No pay, no play.. there is a difference between mercenaries and militia as the British found out at Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill

Guy Fawkes masks are the obvious answer. The storm troopers will simply think we are just protesting the 1% and leave us alone. After they catch on we will switch to kaffiyehs AKA "Palestinian Peace scarves" while they wipe out the protesters smoking dope in the downtown parks. As soon as they catch on to that we will start brandishing "Obama phones", and so forth and so on until they have cleaned everything up for us.

 

[Blaylocke]

Reagan mask.

 

[nick1980]

Just look for the other guys with tin foil hats on, you'll be good!

 

[Krinkov]

The shocker symbol bro

from what little I know, coded attire arises organically when the need arises, and rarely before. Im thinking of the red berets in the french revolution, or the red bandanas of the wiskey rebellion.

I was thinking more along these lines.
The rattler is not a bad idea either, sort of like a cricket from the Normandy invasion.

The bad guys are going to look like Chinese or Russian soldiers. If it's civil war, then those uniforms will form as that comes along.
If you want to know if they're good guys or not, yell "ye bitya suche" and if point a laser at them. If they get angry and start shooting, they're Russians.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Well , whatever color the helmets may be ... Don't shoot me.
I'll be wearing this cap...
Andy

 

[Flymph]

Hey Andy, can I ask where you acquired that hat? I like it and may consider getting one for myself. That's an old scottsmens' hat, isn't it?
