Yep. Firefighting helmets have a strap for that reason.

I think that it'd be way better to loosely attach a thin, lightweight, cardboard or thin plastic brim to a 'real' hardhat than use one of the faux cowboy hats.

    Ok, serious question here. Was he fired because Palestine, or because political statement?
    Would he have been fired if his flag had been a crossed out US flag? Or a Ukrainian flag?

    I was in my mid twenties and had a supply of caffeine. Was well rested before starting. What nearly got me each of those 3 times was moose, once during sunset/twilight and twice in the night. Especially at night there is not enough time to react to moose that run out onto the road; I'll be the first to admit I got very lucky on my run.
    On my return I scheduled my trip such that I could do all my driving in daylight hours and stopped at a (iirc) provincial park for the night and slept in my car. The following morning just an hour or so after sunrise I saw the result of an Escalade hitting a moose, and it reinforced just how lucky I was on my trip south.
    Further to the timing, I was occasionally speeding a bit, (during daylight) but for the most part stuck to my vehicle's optimal fuel efficiency speed of 87km/h. I stopped once for petrol (and coffee) in Sault Ste Marie.
