Taking A Walk

by Dwayne Phillips

An essential piece of equipment for walking is the bandanna (can be spelled either bandana or bandanna). I prefer the dark blue classic look. The only other acceptable color is red. Everything else is, well something else.

Among the uses for the bandanna while walking:

1. Wrap around your digital camera so it won’t be scratched while in your pocket.
2. Soak perspiration on hot days.
3. Put crushed ice on it, roll it, and put it around your neck on hot days.
4. Soak it in cold water and put it around your neck on hot days.
5. Tie things to your back pack with it.
6. Put it around your neck backwards to keep the front of your neck from the sun.
7. Put around the back of your neck to keep it from the sun.
8. Put it around your neck to keep your body heat from escaping out of your collar on cold days.
9. Wrap it around your hand on cold days to keep warm.
10. Bandage scratches.
11. Blow your nose.

And,

1. The bandanna makes you look like you know what you are doing. It crosses all cultural lines from urban to rural and everything in between.
