Living on the land

This bandana is wonderful. It is a fine weave and soft with lots of information on plants and what not to do and what to do. What's not to like!?

A Great Piece of Kit

It looks even better in person than it does online. The material is durable, soft, and just the right amount of absorbent for a bandana. The writing and illustrations are very crisp and easily legible. I will be buying one again.

Foraging Bandana

i ordered several of these for the women in my back packing group. We are all learning to identifying plants in the wild, especially those that are edible or for medicinal purposes. This is a beautiful bandana, with good info on it. hoping it becomes useful in the identification process and not just as a cooling cloth! FYI--all the women love how the info is organized and how pretty it is overall with the organization and colors! I've taken it with me on two weekend backpacking adventures---another one coming up this weekend--more opportunity to sharpen those skills!

Great as a gift

I bought this for my daughter to use as a teaching tool/introduction to foraging for my little granddaughter. They love being in nature and my daughter has many of the featured plants on her property. The bandana is beautiful and feels great. I know they'll get some great use out of it!
