that's what maces are for .. to work out the lumps.  

and contrary to comon opinion, the fat ones do not make the best bedding ... as 
they "turn" faster than their leaner cynn .. and when through, toss em on the 
raven feeder (no hold should be without one ...)

if you find anyone in scale, save them .. drag em' in front of your tent.  
makes a *marvelous* boot-scrapper for muddy days.

sometimes you find a spangen helm tight enough to use as a cooking pot.  for 
griddles though, a good breast / backplate is just the thing.  one *excellent* 
addition to the camp-kitchen, find one of those horrid flat top helms and you 
have a perfect camp stove - set the fire inside the helm and feed through the 
faceplate, cook on the flat top ...  

to really snazz up a campsite, scrounge up some helms with seperate eye-holes / 
occulars and use them as lantern / candle covers - the "jack-o-lantern" effect 
really sets a camps mood ... 

but a much better use for helms ... scrounge around the field for those of the 
right size and characteristics and you can put together a pretty good 
percussion kit ... if you don't like the "gong" effect leave the heads in for 
dampening.

with a little creative work back at home, they can be converted into really 
nice wind chimes (the actual fate of my last ancient freon-can monstrosity) or 
alarm / attention bells ....
