Wazoo Survival Cache Cap : Spy Stuff

[@NikeTao]

Great review, just a thought: They shouldn't have placed the logo on the outside, it sort of defeats the whole inconspicuous application of this accessory. As more and more people see and know about these sort of hats, they won't actually go unnoticed and the logo will be a giveaway that something may be stashed. Luckily, the logo on the version with the velcro attachment can be covered up by the patch.

[@mikeb.6705]

Exactly right!

[@Wazoo]

If someone recognizes Wazoo on your cap, it's like a secret handshake. It's a fellow prepared brethern/cistern(sp?).

@Timothy Mckee I was referring to the can opener in his hat ... the pistol is a whole nuther level of discomfort ! Kinda a comedic non sequitur , butt hey ... 😳

[@warrengriffin1956]

It was a P51. The P38 was the small can opener that was given to the individuals. The P51 was usually used by the cooks, it was larger so it was easier to open the large #10 cans they would have to open at the mess trailer.

[@matthewbrown6163]

Years ago, when I wore a uniform an ex copper gave me a few tips. 1. Always carry $20.00 inside your hat 2. Always carry $5.00 in your notebook (we were in Law Enforcement) 3. Always carry your hat rain cover inside the sweat band. 4. Always keep a $2.00 coin in your wallet. This hat does most of those things.

[@Wazoo]

Wow, that's some cool prep advice. Thanks for sharing Matthew!

[@dalewpit]

Great logo . . . . . right on the cap . . . . tells everyone you have a stash in your cap. It would be better if the logo wasn't visible. kind of like a stealth cap that doesn't tip others off.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

I believe Zach Fowler, winner of Alone season three, was a proponent for Wazoo and actually wore a Wazoo survival bracelet; orange being his favorite color, the bracelet was orange with brown trim. He used the ferro rod and striker quite often. This hat reminds me of the boonie hats the EOD teams I worked with as their medic and they maintained mini first aid kits, sticks of gum, and whatever else fit in the inside and outside bands. I have one of the Wazoo camo hats with the velcro morale patch field. The items I keep are a dozen stormproof matches with a strike board and some tinder (two vaseline saturated cotton balls) in separate small ziploc bags, a mini Bic in one side pocket and a mini Crocs lighter in the other side. Hats with the velcro field are $30.

[@Wazoo]

Yessir Fowler is a modern-day McGyver! Honored to have him rocking our Cache Cap among other pieces of our gear. Thanks for your support Alexander. Appreciate the feedback on how you like to loadout yours too. That's great!

[@davidphilippi4429]

Great idea but it seems to sit really high on your head kinda like trying to wear a kids hat, appears to sit more on TOP of your head than on your head (if that makes sense). Could just be the amount or type of items that you put in the hat. Maybe they could design a different style that sits lower.

[@Wazoo]

Probably just perspective. It's crown is built the same size as your average ballcap.

[@breaking_bear]

Hahahahahahah! Continually awesome outtakes! Thank you Sootch for being so open and honest and hilarious.

[@nick92028]

I notice a lot of people keeping lock picking tools without ever practicing picking locks. I recommend you practice. It will take hours and hours of practice to get good at it. Also that card with no handle will make things even harder.

[@selfreliance1017]

The worm rake on the readyman card isn't worth carrying. Pick and shims seem to work well enough but the rake did nothing for me.

[@madeucedancinclub2452]

Add a chin strap , don't want it to blow away , the velcro patch on the front remove the top seam for more stowage , add a flat clip on cap light with extra button batteries , add some chlorofloc packets , a very small sewing kit , ,,, lots of things possible ,,,, even more stowage by making a winter cap with ear flaps with a neck cover .

@@Wazoo No. Unless you want your cap filled with cash to be blown off your head. There are belts with hidden pockets which hide cash and won't be blown off your head in a good gust of wind, nor can they easily be removed from your person like a cap off your head. The funniest thing is the same company makes such a belt. So this cap is just silly on multiple levels.
