This bandana is printed NOT with patient care-giving steps info, but instead with critical survival pointers in case you unexpectedly are stuck / thrown into in a survival situation.

Survival experts across the world agree that a bandana is a very useful piece of gear in a survival situation. From covering the head to prevent sunburn, to water collection from dew, to tying slings and splints for first aid uses; bandanas can perform many vital tasks for the survivor. The Head for Survival® bandana performs these functions very well, and much more.

PRINTED SURVIVAL INFORMATION INCLUDES:
Navigation, Fire Starting, Shelter, Water Collection & Purification, Signaling, a useful Knots section, and a section for Priorities considerations. The information provided presumes you have little gear with you, and so relies most heavily on improvised techniques for the topics covered. For example, it won’t tell you how to use your compass (you should already know that), but will tell you how to use the stars, your watch, or the shadow stick method to find direction. It won’t teach you how to use a flint striker, but will cover fire building essentials to aid you in making sure that whatever you do use, it will greatly increase your chances for success.

FEATURES:
-- 100% Soft-Brush Polyester construction, with non-running ink. While the material dries quickly (and thus, preventing bacterial or fungal growth versus regular cotton) it can absorb water from sweating, or from dew collection / still evaporate, and more.
-- The edging seams are lock stitched for increased strength.
-- Sized Large at 39” x 39” x 52” (triangular). Able to be formed into a sling for arm injuries, and for splinting.
-- When worn on the head, the extra-long tailing is used to shade the rear of the neck to prevent sunburn. Can be halved in order to create a smaller profile bandana without long tails.
-- (2) Two-inch safety pins are included for sling and splint preparation.
-- Bandana weight: 1.9 ounces
-- COLOR OPTIONS: the one you see here (greenish/grayish), and bright orange.
