What head gear to wear?

Our 'Zombie Hunters' column is written by decorated British ex SAS (Special Air Service) Captain 'Hawk' Heath. His expertise in the field of Zombie suppression and extermination are becoming legendary in this nascent field of operation. Since leaving the SAS, 'Hawk' has teamed with fellow Zombie exterminator and ex US Navy Seal, 'Big Al' Powner. Together they supply their talents as mercenaries. And have become the recognized authorities to turn to when you need to 'clean house.'
