Survival Shemagh - Hrusai - 26 July 2012
so we all know that bandanas have 101 uses in a survival situation, but often they are a bit small, so its always useful to have a larger bit of material handy, but often these can be cumbersome, and whilst general survival browsing i saw alot of places saying to use a shemagh instead of a bandana! but alot of people dont know how to tie them properly, so heres a quick guide

also any instructions or novel uses for bandanas, and therefore by extension shemaghs, are welcome in this thread!

have used bandanas for the last 30+ years as a handkerchief, as a scarf or over the mouth and nose on the motorbike, have got a shemagh in the cupboard somewhere but never got used to it, it always seemed to bunch up couldnt get on with it.

well the most important thing is just to go with whatever suits you best personally, if thats a bandana, then thats cool
personally i like shemagh's nice and versatile, and because of the size i can use it for more things
it makes a great bag! very useful when im in a homemade hammock, i just tie it up on the rope holding the tarp up above me ...keeps the valuables off the wet ground and the stuff i need close at hand, not to mention all the other uses
