American Minute Man Gear Part 8: Scrim Your Helmet

[@Berry-McCaulkiner]

I have no idea how you don't have 100k subs. been binging your vids lately

[@krypticproxy2436]

Scrim was done by US Airborne troops and Rangers in WW2 before D-Day..

[@MooreLeather]

So, while they were training in England. Wonder where they could have picked up the idea? 😋 The US units used both US made scrim nets and British made scrim nets.

[@crossfox1991]

And the British, Germans, French, and Canadians have been doing it since ww1

Ok so im kinda new and just started airsoft and i need a helmet scrim and there are no army surplus stores in my area so if i were to use a printed camo will it work?

[@CitadelDefense1]

I don’t know why it wouldn’t

[@MeKnotChu6651]

Good content

[@gregzivic8184]

Like your videos im a usmc infantry veteran and I was wondering what type of military background do you have?

[@CitadelDefense1]

Thanks Greg. I have zero military background. I just read and take classes.

You can do it cheaper with dyed burlap strips

[@Pug351]

But its more flammable and holds onto water and weight longer.

[@BoogedyBobby]

Camo fabric is already cheap so no you would just look like a dumbass if you did burlap.

[@MooreLeather]

The present issue British helmet covers come with scrim material kits that are strips of standard weight cotton MTP pattern fabric

[@NickFrom1228]

Are these materials described IR opaque? Seems like you would want to be really careful what material you use.

[@IronPhysik]

if you are not sure: spraypaint is IR opague same goes with acrylic paint mixed with chalk

Use an old combat shirt / pants.
