Ten Outdoor/Camping Uses for a bandanna 

1.    Use a bandana for: A hat, for keeping the hair out of your face.

2.    Use a bandana for: A sweatband. Tie it around your forehead and look like Chris Williamson. Amazingly effective for sweaty activities.

3.    Use a bandana for: Pee wipe. Don't knock it until you try it. Especially in an environment with little foliage, using a bandanna is a boon to feminine hygiene. Simply tie it on the outside of your pack and it will quickly dry and be ready the next time you need it. If you try this, make sure you bring 2 bandannas of different colors.

4.    Use a bandana for: Necktie. On days when keeping yourself as cool as possible is important, soak your bandanna in cool water and then drape it around your neck. A lot of blood passes through your neck and this will help cool it off before it gets to your brain.

5.    Use a bandana for: Arm sling. Hopefully you won't ever need it for this. But sometimes keeping an arm elevated and immobile is essential. You either need a very large bandanna or tie two together.

6.    Use a bandana for: A halter top. Say you want to expose your body to the sun without burning your breasts. Fold each bandanna into a triangle.Tie two ends together, wrap the other ends around your chest and tie them together, and then tie the tops together behind your neck. If your bandannas aren't big enough, improvise. It may not be high fashion, but it works.

7.    Use a bandana for: A wash cloth.

8.    Use a bandana for: A towel. They're amazingly absorbent and dry quickly, as mentioned before.

9.    Use a bandana for: An emergency coffee filter . This is not one of their best uses, but if your coffee addiction is acting up and you have the ground beans but are out of filters, they do work. (Better solution-bring enough filters)

10.    Use a bandana for: An emergency kotex . Not great, not nearly as good as moss, but if its all you have....
