the Tracking experts
We partnered with tracking experts Beau Harger, Jonah Evans, and Dr. Mark Elbroch to help guide us in choosing the animals that would allow you to have the most success with this bandana.
We requested animals that met the following criteria: 1. Found across the majority of North America, 2. Most abundantly found in the wild, 3. Animals that may indicate water nearby, 4. Animals that are easy food sources, 5. Most useful for side-by-side comparison
The Tracking Bandana is an original design by Wazoo Gear.
Beau Harger
Beau Harger is our local tracker. He took us out in the field, got our feet wet (and almost got Dustin stuck knee-deep in mud) and gave us the hands-on crash course in tracking. He’s been an integral part in the design of this product and made himself available at all hours of the night to answer questions and continue pushing this design in the right direction.
Jonah Evans
Jonah Evans is also a fellow Texan with about 2 decades of tracking experience (and who knows how many certifications) but still maintains the humble life-long student attitude, realizing there is always more to learn. He even has an app called iTrack Wildife that is a great learning tool to combine with this bandana.

Dr. Mark Elbroch
Dr. Mark Elbroch helped bring the CyberTracker program to the U.S. and literally wrote the books on tracking. Not just any books, but the books with the most accurate and detailed prints available. He partnered with us to provide the artwork for the bandana and we truly couldn’t have done it without him!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tracking Bandana, and how is it used?
The Tracking Bandana is a wearable animal tracking guide designed for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and survivalists.
Printed with accurate, to-scale animal tracks and gait patterns, it helps you identify wildlife and interpret their behavior in the field.
Wear it as a bandana, keep it in a pocket, or spread it out as a field reference tool. It’s a practical way to learn tracking while staying prepared outdoors.
Can the Tracking Bandana be used as more than an animal tracking guide?
Yes! While it’s a wildlife identification bandana first and foremost, it also functions as a multi-use bandana in the backcountry.
Use it as a head covering, sun shield, improvised water filter, or emergency gear in addition to its role as an animal track reference. Its multipurpose design makes it a versatile addition to any bushcraft kit, hiking pack, or everyday carry loadout.
How do I prevent fading on the Bandanas?
To keep your Tracking Bandana looking vibrant and legible, we recommend gentle care. Wash it by hand or on a delicate cycle with cold water, and avoid bleach or harsh detergents. Line-dry instead of machine-drying to preserve the detailed plant illustrations.
With proper care, your bandana will last for years of backcountry use and outdoor adventures.
Is the Tracking Bandana waterproof or weather-resistant?
The bandana is made from durable, lightweight cotton that holds up well outdoors but is not waterproof.
Many use it as both an animal tracking bandana and a multipurpose cloth for everything from filtering debris out of water to providing shade or protection in the field.
