Wouldn't it be a crying shame to come across a bush of delicious wild berries or a cluster of elusive morels, but have nothing to carry them home in?

Or even worse, what if you're out camping and unexpectedly have some mosquitos stop by for a drink?

 

We took one of our most popular products, the Foraging Bandana, and sewed on "Noseeum Mesh" Now this versatile bandaNET transforms into a bug-proof head net, a convenient foraging bag for plants and mushrooms, a multi-purpose bag for collecting tinder, a make-shift pouch or pillow, or even keeping your beverages cool in the creek. And best of all it easily packs in a pocket, backpack, or pouch so you can always have it with you for some impromptu foraging or to fend off unwanted tiny guests. 🚫🦟

SPECS

  • 21" x 21"
  • 3-sided sewn mesh open-top pocket
  • Drawstring + Cinch Cord
  • Sage-Grey .09/oz Micro Mesh, Polyester Bugnet Material
  • Made in the USA
  • Inspired by the original Bandanet created by Bens Backwoods
USES
  • Foraging Bag - Tie one top corner to a belt loop (or Wazoo Cache Belt gear loop), leaving the bag easily accessible at waist level and allowing easy picking and packing
  • Bugnet - Made of special purpose "NoSeeUm Mesh" means that insects like mosquitoes or "no-see-ums" AKA biting midges, can't bite through. Simply put the Bandanet on your head to use in this way.
  • Tinder Pouch - Dustin discovered this one on a Pathfinder School survival course. All the Tulip Poplar inner bark was soaked through from days of rain, which was needed that night for starting a bow drill fire. The rule at the course is that you have to keep all of your gear with you at all times and are required to perform tasks all day. Throwing the Poplar bark in the Bandanet and then hanging it on the back of the backpack allowed the sun to penetrate through the mesh while allowing the moisture to evaporate. 
  • Net - Not only can you catch small aquatic creatures in it, but you can also keep them submerged and alive inside
  • Filtration - The tiny mesh can be used to pre-filter water of debris
  • Field Pillow - Stuff some clothes inside, tie closed. Poof! You have a pillow
  • River Fridge - Throw beverages in, tie to a branch, dangle in a river, and enjoy a chilled beverage
  • Dipnet - Not only can you catch small aquatic creatures in it, but you can also keep them submerged and alive inside.
  • Strainer - From herbal tea infusions and decoctions to leaching tannins from nuts
  • Critter Container - Snakes, insects, and even small mammals can be caught and kept inside
