Ways to use a bandana while backpacking

Bandanas are one of the most universal pieces of gear to have in the backcountry: simple, effective, multi-functional, and versatile. There are at least a few ways to use a hiking bandana for any one situation you might find yourself in when outdoors.

Whenever I’m hiking, camping, or road-tripping I always have two on me to use in a pinch and they never disappoint. Most importantly, they are a cheap and waste-free item that makes you think outside of the box and get a little creative — a truly invaluable skill to have in the outdoors.

A simple square of cotton can do amazing things. If you don’t have a bandana stashed in your pack or pocket, you’re missing out on a world of possibilities.

Consider the following features when selecting your all-purpose textile multitool.

• First, make sure it is cotton, which readily absorbs water, and not polyester or another synthetic fabric, which doesn’t. (Bonus points for organic cotton, a more sustainable and less polluting choice than conventionally grown.)
• Look for brightly colored bandanas, which are easier to spot and don’t absorb as much heat as darker options.
• Last, some bandanas are printed with maps, survival tips, and other how-to information, a potentially useful feature.
