Ten Medical Uses for a Triangular Bandage

This video discusses 10 medical uses for a triangular bandage.

{Hat tip to Greg Ellifrtiz.}

Aside from medical uses, triangular bandages can be used for many of the same things as a shemagh or bandana. For example:

• Dust mask
• Hankerchief
• Head scarf
• Sweat band
• Scarf to keep your neck warm, or cool if you wet it.
• Pre-filter for water, to keep your filter from getting clogged with chunky bits.
• Pot holder
• Pot scrubber
• Wash cloth
• Etc.

I always carried a couple USGI muslin triangular bandages when I was in a Civil Air Patrol ground search and rescue unit, as did my team members.
