Weren't they SAS? Anyway, your point is correct.
Batteries would be worn in waist pouches.

Woke up this morning in northern Sydney to an eerie glow and lack of sunshine. Thin clouds have been turned brown by the smoke from the fires burning north west of Sydney. Winds are blowing strongly and gusting stronger. Forecast is for hotter days and no rain. Forests are as dry as a fireplace. So it's bad conditions for firefighting.
Early reports say properties have been lost in the Blue Mountains overnight, but it's too soon to know how many.
Fire chiefs say it's going to be a bad week. The fires, which have already burnt 380,000 hectares - an area larger than Sydney - can't be extinguished except by rain, say the fire chiefs. All they can do to try to protect people house by house.
The volunteers are already exhausted by the extended fire season and will need interstate help. Better start packing Evo.
My opinion is this isn't a natural disaster - it's more than natural - it's an unnatural disaster. A national emergency.

Gottit! What about a Heat Generated Battery Charger out of the crown of each helmet & with a few holes around the brim would also introduce "fresh" air over the wearer's bonce.
There you go Eevo, take this brainstorm to the Govt & you can have all the Royalties, courtesy of me.:twobeers:[biggrin]
We really do need a Tongue in Cheek smiley.[smilebigeye]
I don't know what they expect Politicians to do about the Smoke, I mean, most never seem to very good at handling their own Portfolios let alone a severe national Emergency. Maybe they would issue every taxpayer with an Ash Tray engraved with "A gift from your caring Governments"? A crass Polly would have them made from a piece of blackened Eucalyptus log.
I know the situation ain't funny but let's not lose our collective sense of humour or we'll all be doomed, doomed I tell you.
Solar powered helmet? [emoji41]
GEEZUZ Mick! :rolleyes: Apparently some people haven't seen the sun for weeks, Rick130 included, so I doubt that could be a goer but according to some here that is not a problem & a tad woosey.
ive put my name on the list for the 20th til the 8th.Quote:
