How should helmets be placed on the ground?
Imagine you are sitting around ready to begin; you have your gear spread out, and your helmets are off.
How should you place your helmet so that it doesn't wander off?

Basically, there are happy turtles and there are dead turtles and helmets should always be placed in the happy position.
Happy helmets stick around, while dead helmets have a tendency to slide down the rock.
Of course you could always clip the helmet to something, but it can be much easier to just place it in the happy position.
Finally, you should never sit on a helmet as that can damage it.

In the army we used "dead turtle" - mainly to make it harder for bugs/scorpions/spiders/other friends to get in. So there's no right/wrong, just pros/cons.
And of course, the best way to keep it from falling/rolling is to clip it to something.
