Curious if anyone had any thoughts on this store AmericanaPipedream, they have some cool looking stuff but I can't really tell from what they post online if I wanna buy from them. If anyone has thoughts I'd love to hear them!

I have been interested in tactical style for many years. Recently, I am thinking about establishing a tactical brand. The products include tactical hats, vests, helmets, backpacks, small bags, and clothes. I hope to become a brand like Crye or Helikon in the future, so that my customers can also experience the fun of tactical style in their daily lives. Tactics do not have to be so military-like, and can be enjoyed every day.

If you are a tactical equipment enthusiast, please help me see which one is better, or do you have a more perfect suggestion?

We all know that state militaries first adopted metal helmets to protect the head from fragments and shrapnel. Widespread artillery use meant a lot more material falling on the heads of combat troops. Helmets also protect the head from bumps, blunt attacks, and any other strike that could cause injury, although ballistic helmets that can stop a bullet are a relatively new invention.

Workers wear hardhats for similar reasons. They are rated according to ANSI standards and required (in the USA) by OSHA on job sites with a rise of falling objects. This kind of helmet seems suitable for protecting the head from the spall and frag present on a battlefield. Perhaps someone looking to arm themselves for combat on short notice could get an ANSI type 1 or 2 hardhat if military grade head protection is not available.

A hardhat could also prove useful outside of a gunfight, such as during a protest. Riot police wear helmets, so it would be wise for demonstrators to protect their own melon. Many of the 2020 Hong Kong rioters used construction hats for this purpose.

Please tell me what you think and if my logic is sound. I don't know very much about combat or tactics so this post is basically baseless conjecture. I am thinking of buying a hardhat because I don't have the means or use for a ballistic helmet at the moment, but that could be completely foolhardy. Let me know.

It's like you can't get away from it. It's just baked into all gun content these days. Print Shoot Repeat is currently the only guntuber I've seen who wants trans rights AND gun rights. Everything is just politics. I stopped watching Garand Thumb, the Balaclava dude, and Brandon Herrera because of their constant "woke" culture war bs. So tired of it. I feel so alone and I feel like I can't watch SHTF prepper shit and proper combat tactics without knowing that these guys who are talking are training to fight against us.
