Uses
Foraging Bag - Tie one top corner to a belt loop (or Wazoo Cache Belt™ gear loop), leaving the bag easily accessible at waist level and allowing easy picking and packing
Bugnet - Made of special purpose "NoSeeUm Mesh" means that insects like mosquitoes or "no-see-ums" AKA biting midges, can't bite through. Simply put the Bandanet on your head to use in this way.
Tinder Pouch - Dustin discovered this one on a Pathfinder School survival course. All the Tulip Poplar inner bark was soaked through from days of rain, which was needed that night for starting a bow drill fire. The rule at the course is that you have to keep all of your gear with you at all times and are required to perform tasks all day. Throwing the Poplar bark in the Bandanet and then hanging it on the back of the backpack allowed the sun to penetrate through the mesh while allowing the moisture to evaporate.
Net - Not only can you catch small aquatic creatures in it, but you can also keep them submerged and alive inside
Filtration - The tiny mesh can be used to pre-filter water of debris
Field Pillow - Stuff some clothes inside, tie closed. Poof! You have a pillow
River Fridge - Throw beverages in, tie to a branch, dangle in a river, and enjoy a chilled beverage
Strainer - From herbal tea infusions and decoctions to leaching tannins from nuts
