*No one's actually asked this question yet, but in the time of cheap planned obsolescence commodities, corporate market domination, and government-subsidized imports, we can understand why ours seems more than what you can get overnighted from a fake Chinese brand on Amazon

Here's another side of the story:

The price is actually far below industry standard for profit considering how much it costs us to make.

Our costs to manufacture are MUCH more than other products that might be in this category, because we chose to make it in the United States of America.

We certainly could make these in the China or Vietnam, it would not be hard by any means, and we would cut our costs tremendously, but we decided to make them in the USA because it allows us to partner with and support US manufacturing.

This particular product utilizes multiple factories. The base bandana is cut and sewn from the last existing industrial bandana maker in the USA, in South Carolina (did you see the quality of the hem?) We then send them to one of the best screen printers in the US, located in California, so that we can achieve the fine detail and color to do justice to the professionally painted scientific botanical illustrations. And then, we have our Colorado factory sew on the no-see-yum netting and paracord straps (did you notice the reinforced bartacks and the protective herringbone grosgrain ribbon?)

On top of our direct suppliers, which we are very proud to support, and have gotten to know very personally, we are also able to support several other great suppliers, like those that make our real 550 paracord sheath, the high quality ultralight mesh netting, even down to the ribboning and the honorable thread company.

It should be noted that beyond the many hands that go into the handcraftedness of our products, we'd like to think that we do not have any real competition or other products to compare to with our designs. Our innovations are our own. You can't find them anywhere else (well... for a few months at least until the knock-offs hit the market). When we use a design from a friend, we get their blessing, and then we pay them for it. This particular product paid, in some form of another, at least 5 designers/experts for their designs or expertise. 

So if you want cheap, that's not us. In the sense of design, construction, or cost. We don't cut corners. We don't support bad companies. We don't screw over other designers.

The world is already full of soulless designs and thoughtless supply chains.

We just create products we love and hope they have a positive influence on the ones that have a hand in making it and the hands that they it end up.

If you like supporting good people, good companies, and cool products, then maybe this is for you.

The original Foraging Bandana is a standard cotton bandana, but printed with an unbelievable amount of foraging information. Humbly adopted by experts and amateurs alike.

The Foraging BandaNet takes the Foraging Bandana to a new practical level, adding a mesh side and cinch top, adding dozens of more uses, especially actually collecting plants/fungi inside.

The Foraging PackdaNet takes our popular Foraging BandaNet and upgrades it into an easy-to-carry backpack, adding even more convenience, without barely any additional volume or weight!

The PackdaNet works as a lightweight mesh bag for collecting mushrooms, plants, or tinder without crushing your finds. The breathable mesh also helps items dry out as you hike, making it a perfect field companion for foragers of all levels.

Yes! The sewn-in Noseeum Mesh lets you quickly transform the PackdaNet into a bug-proof head net, keeping mosquitoes and other biting insects at bay when you’re out in the woods or around camp.

Dustin (Wazoo co-founder): "I have found myself attacked by mosquitoes all over the world, especially in places where we had not protection, and I had not prior expectation that mosquitoes would be a problem. Thankfully, I had this in my back pocket and not only allowed me to avoid having a restless night, but also some dangerous disease. I have been so thankful to have it while hammocking with a tribe in the Amazon jungle, sleeping under the stars with the Bedouins in Jordan, and avoiding the bloodsuckers in multiple African countries."

Absolutely. The PackdaNet is ultra-packable, folding down small enough to fit in a pocket, pouch, or backpack. It’s designed for everyday carry enthusiasts, hikers, campers, and survivalists who want versatile gear without extra bulk.

Essentially, anywhere you can stash a folded bandana, you can stash this.

It only weighs 60 grams or 2.1 ounces.
