[pct-l] bandana

[Stephen]

Louis Lamour suggested many uses for his western characters.  I think in one 
of his books he suggested bandanas have a hundred uses, and contiued by 
naming a bunch of them.
I ussually carry one.  I clean myself, my glasses, use as a skeeter and sun 
shield draped over my head under my hat etc etc...
I've also heard on a post here that they are pretty much useless.  Seems far 
from that to me and my many years of using them.  My favorite is red, and I 
found it.  I also found my blue one, and gary one, and a light blue one. 
Seems they are good at getting lost or left behind along the trail among 
other things.
Back in the boyscouts I don't recall having a nickname but they were a 
standard part of the uniform.
