E.D.C.: BANDANAS...The ULTIMATE HEAD GEAR (Part I)

[@TheTerryMarsh1]

A series of practical demos would be useful. What to, where to, how to ... especially for items that you make or modify yourself. Re bandanas and shemaghs, you could discuss pros and cons of different materials, different sizes, etc

[@canadafree2087]

I find shemaghs to be thicker and harder to tie tightly. They are great as a layer but since they cost more than a bandana I'd rather not have to cut them up. I love Swedish Square Scarfs at 42". I also have USMC scarfs that are like t-shirt material, bought a few of them for a buck each. For general bandanas I like ones 24" and carry both OD and blaze orange.

This just like in The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy - The book says 'you should always know where your towel is". One use - when wetted it is formidable melee weapon.

Great information!

[@PRACTICALCIVILIANOFFICIAL]

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

Ok it is about time someone else can tell others about the bandana other than me. I also learned from Veterans in 87 to 91 all the tricks it can do. 82nd Airborne CLC

Can’t wait for the second video

Would like to see how you tie it, seems similar to a shemagh. As you mentioned showing a more detailed description of the material, how it is cut and how you keep the edges from fraying would be helpful. Great useful product, looking forward to learning more.

[@stephenwest798]

I didn't quite catch the name of material and I think you said you bought it at a fabric store, is that correct?

[@PRACTICALCIVILIANOFFICIAL]

The material is a cotton (60%,) bamboo (35%) and poly (5%) material. Yes. It was purchased at Jo-Ann Favrics, but you can find it on-line as well.

[@stephenwest798]

Thank you, I will be buying some soon.@@PRACTICALCIVILIANOFFICIAL

You had one job.

[@freedomdove]

Great piece of equipment. Do you have an affiliate Amazon link?

[@PRACTICALCIVILIANOFFICIAL]

Working on it.

What size do you usually cut thembat

[@PRACTICALCIVILIANOFFICIAL]

If you were to take a 2-3XL t-shirt and cut up the sides and across the top, just under the neck, that is the size. The first bandanas I made, way back in the day were cut from 3XL t-shirts.
