    I have long hair and always wear a bandana for many reasons. I especially liked the one you showed with the knots printed on it - because I am always forgetting how to tie my knots. I never have to tie knots , so? Two more reasons not covered in your video. I'm getting to be an old geezer, so I have to sleep with a CPAP machine. The dang nosemask that I use always used to pop off my head while I was sleeping. The store was no help and had no useful suggestions, so I tried everything to keep it on my face - clips, grips, straps, flaps, and whatnot. Finally, I just put on my headband over it, and it works perfect. I wake up in the morning with my mask firmly in place. It also helps keep my hair out of my lathe and mill in the garage. When I go out metal detecting, I use a bandana to put the dirt from my holes, then I can just dump it back into the hole. Easy. God Bless America, buddy. Keep making these great videos. :)

    in an area where you may be inadvertently caught up in a violent protest and the police are spraying teargas, pepper spray or other chemicals sprinkle lemon or lime juice or vinegar on it before covering your nose and mouth, that counters the effect of the spray so you can breathe a little easier

    When it gets real hot here where I am, I wet my bandanna & tuck it under my ball cap. The breeze blowing through it will cool you down & it will shade your neck from the sun. Also if you have no water source you can tie one on each ankle & walk around in tall grass to collect dew, then squeeze them out into a cup, & you don't need to boil it. You can put snow in it & tie it around a stick over a cup beside a fire to melt for drinking water. That way you don't have to use a pot to melt it in. And... You can use it to collect berries too.

    I bought a bandana for plumbing work with my step dad. One time he was grinding a marble floor, horrible experience. I was sneezing and coughing up marble powder for the entire day. Now that I have a bandana, it not only protects my face from the flying shards of the grind saw, it also filters out the debris. Extremely useful, and definitely useful when I'm climbing into a crawl space under a house to work on plumbing, helps filter out the dust in the air. Another good survival trick is to wrap it tightly around a wound to prevent excess bleeding.

  • @clayriness6870
    @clayriness6870 9 лет назад +1

    In the old west, "bandanas" were known as "wild rags" and were typically in the neighborhood of 35" x 35" in size, much larger than the kerchief-sized bandanas we so often see today. They were most often silk, but in today's cowboy re-enactment culture you can find cotton wild rags for about $5. The additional size makes them even more useful. I never head out without one around my neck and a couple more in my pack. Endless uses.

    you could use it to filter bugs out of the river before you boil the water to drink. if you don't, those bugs are still going to be in your drinking water.
    also, if you have laceless boots you can find a good strong sapling to make a bow and use the bandana as a string. also, you can dig a hole about 2 or 4 feet deep, put the bandana over the hole and weight it down with rocks, and put leaves and duff on the bandana to make it look like ground. you put this on a small trail like for rabbits and stuff and you've got a trap for food. you could also use it as an old fashioned slingshot, put a rock in it, fling it around, let loose on side, the rock comes shooting out like david and goliath.

  • @KankukanAiki
    @KankukanAiki 10 лет назад

    Learned a lot. A bandana may be used as an "ancient" painkiller: you put it in the mouth a person who is soffering some kind of pain. Tell him to bite it so that he or she'll be able to resist some sort of help that we're giving him. Same thing if he's a spy (WROL situation).. it may be used to shut his mouth...it's a bad thing but in SHTF we aren't able to know really what will happen...

    Can be used as a collar, leash, or muzzle on a dog. Tie hair back in a ponytail. Drape loosely over the head to shade your head, face, and neck if you can't get out of the sun. Pack around things in your bag to keep from rattling. Women can use for a maxi-pad if needed...just fold into the right size, and you can even use a strip of duct tape on the back to further protect clothing. As Sootch says, "It will get you home!"

    Not a bad video, it outlines a small, often forgoten item and the fact that it is much more usefull than many realize.
    Funny thing is, growing up in a remote area and always having hectares to explore I didn't ever adopt the bandana. I don't say this often but I may have to modify my system. Insurance is always good to have and to add another redundancy isn't a bad idea.
