Thank you! I was getting a M1 helmet for my 11th birthday because I'm a World War 2 geek, this is helpful to try and find out how to get an Airborne netting on my helmet, and... thanks again!

[@theredneckbuddha2763]

Dang dude, 11?? You sure as hell speak like an adult for sure! Happy belated birthday, hope your M1 turned out well

[@peerathut18]

Happy late birthday my dude!

I’m pretty young as well, got my first stahlhelm at 10 years old. I was so excited at the time, now that I’ve done a lot more research I’ve learned it’s a pretty bad repro to be honest.

[@theredneckbuddha2763]

@@Moonlight.Deadite lucky bastard! I've always wanted a Stahlhelm!! Preferably one with a Stirnpanzer that you'd see on the M16

[@propellerpilot3313]

Same here bud :)

[@SpartanTF05]

Very nice tutorial, short and well explained. Thanks! Regards from Spain sir.

[@oot2380]

Thank you so much I was having so much trouble putting the net on

[@Scout1134]

I was grappling with my reproduction helmet and net and in 1 1/2 minutes, I was able to see how to do it. Definitely very helpful! Why RUclips is a great resource!

Good vid

[@MyPhilw]

Works if haven’t got chin straps on the helmet , not sure what to do if it has

[@HarryCowl]

i have tried your method, but it's a very tight fit with the net and a can't push the liner to the top of the steel pot. So I have chose to put my liner inside the steel pot, and then, the liner wrapping both parts... Visually, that's not bad, but certainly not correct, historicaly speaking.

[@muddyfox4x4]

Taken the net off the mk2 British helmet now its on a 1943 Mk3 turtle helmet, the net can be fitted to any Allied or German helmet

[@Moonlight.Deadite]

So I am not familiar with this, I have a m35 stahlhelm and I really don't get this m1 helmet thing I am confused with the liner and the actual helmet itself

[@mackmyles9034]

Took me awhile to realize what you did but I got it had to tie the ends with a bread tie

[@pocket_historian1807]

Lol

[@commiekiller5040]

Is there certain size in netting what size is this on its the exact one i want..

[@muddyfox4x4]

Austin Eckert Hi, i bought this one from SOF military (Soldier of Fortune) a couple of years back , you can find them on the net, search British helmet net 👍regards

[@MrPoontang4me]

hey mate what are measurements of this net? cheers

[@muddyfox4x4]

Alex tuck I bought it from SOF Military (Soldier of Fortune) some years ago, have got it on a Canadian Brodie helmet now, can't measure as stretches and can be any size sorry 😕

[@MrPoontang4me]

no problem mate thanks for the response

[@muddyfox4x4]

Alex tuck just taken it off the Brodie, it measures 15"x15" square and a size of net holes as 3/4 " inch , hope this helps

[@MrTreeofWoe74]

Please do a video for fitting to a Brodie. Mine will not play the game.

[@muddyfox4x4]

Lucid Dreams do the same with a ww2 British helmet but tie the drawstrings off, or just use one as the other draws the same as the sides, hope this helps

[@amadeus6418]

what is the usage of the net?

[@muddyfox4x4]

KLimaxt to help with camouflage

[@amadeus6418]

oh thank you

[@lv.99mastermind45]

It kind of breaks the silhouette effect of the barebones helmet

[@alexsacco776]

Klimaxt to reduce glare when wet, and to hold burlap scrim, used as camouflage.

[@ArenBerberian]

Looks cool.
