      question, how the heck do you tie an overhand knot (around 2:15 ) one handed if using on your self for a splint? I have gone through a couple of shemagh's and just don't like the cotton material, so I sourced my own piece of 100% merino wool and made my own 42"x42" shemagh, so far it is holding up better and smells a heck of a lot better after a 1 to 2 week trip and heavy usage, lol. any way, great channel, Lilly :-)

    To these losing their cool about Lilly using a shemagh:
    Shemaghs have been widely used by non-Muslim forces for decades. T.E. Lawrence wore one. SAS, LRDG, many special forces from the Western world have been using them. They're practical items, light-weighted, and like this video proves it, they've a ton of uses.
    Also, ask yourself this: in a survival situation, would you refuse to take an AKM rifle because it's a "damn commie gun"? If the answer is yes, then maybe you're not really fit for survival at all.

    A very small drop of liquid dish soap on your glasses will prevent them from fogging up in cool weather. Just use your finger to spread it around and then clean the lenses with a cloth. No water! It will last for the whole day.

    • @danstheman33
      @danstheman33 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nothing can prevent fogging except for ventilation (or some other means of physically removing or blocking moisture), and/or insulation (i.e. double lens) to prevent condensation. Typically both if not all three are required, which is why ski goggles make a tight seal to the face, have ventilation ports, and the good ones have a double lens.
      But I digress.. What I meant to say is that no coatings can prevent fogging if there is a sustained source of moisture (like your breath being directed upwards by a mask). What they can do however, is delay it, and maybe allow the moisture to evaporate off faster, once the moisture source is removed. They definitely help. But if you keep breathing on your glasses, nothing will stop them from fogging, and it will only delay fogging by a matter of seconds or at most minutes.. But with good enough ventilation, that might be enough to make a difference.

    I carry little squeeze packets of triple antibiotic ointment in my EDC kit. It can serve as first aid ointment OR to treat a cotton ball or scraped fuzz ball like the one you used for tinder. That makes the flame last LOTS longer, less of a flash tinder than the cotton fuzz alone. It's like a small oil lamp or grease candle instead of flash tinder, and it's much easier to get a larger fire started with a longer-lasting flame. I bought a large box of 100 packets for practically nothing online, and that'll treat a LOT of tinder.
    It's even more economical to buy a tube of ointment, or even just use a cheap jar of generic petroleum jelly to treat a bunch of cottonballs and keep them in a sealed ziploc bag in your kit. But this way you can carry a packet or two of ointment that serves as a multitasker. If you had to, you could even make a small oil lamp using a piece of foil or scrap metal, the ointment, and a twist of cloth or string to use as a wick, and have decent emergency illumination for a while that would serve until you could light a larger fire.
    I have a number of shemaghs, and have already used one as a sling when I hurt my arm. I wish they didn't have an unfortunate association with middle-eastern headscarves, as they are VERY warm and economical just as hot or cold weather gear. I used to wear a keffiyeh in the SCA many moons ago because they soaked up sweat and kept the sun off my head and neck. But nowadays you'll run the chance of some dimbulb calling you a terrorist if you wear it that way. :/

  • @monkadelic13
    @monkadelic13 7 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    A Shemagh, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your Shemagh in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
    More importantly, a Shemagh has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his Shemagh with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his Shemagh is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

  • @jonfisher9214
    @jonfisher9214 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    These have been standard issue for British soldiers since before WWII. Since the beginning of the "War on Terror" these keffiyeh or shemagh, usually cotton and in military olive drab or khaki with black stitching, have been adopted by US troops as well, a reversal of previous policy which saw them strictly forbidden during the Gulf War. It's a practical piece of clothing for the environment and also very flexible in its use so yeah a good thing to have in a survival situation.

  • @cdamauser1963

    If water is scarce, you can dip a corner in water to clean your intimate area, then finish with the dry part of it. You can leave it wet and wrap it around your neck to cool off as the water evaporates. You can put some toothpaste on one tip and use it as a toothbrush.
    You can also use it in both defensive and offensive situations by strangling a living threat. Another use is: roll a decent size rock in one tip and tie it up so you can swing and bash opponents' head from a distance, two-legged or four legged. A couple of last uses : you can use it as a makeshift water filter and a tourniquet in case of bleeding injury. Ciao.

    Thank you Lilly for another great instructional video. Your work is always professional yet friendly, and your videos are professionally shot and edited. So many of the TH-cam bushcraft and survival people do not know how to smile, but you seem personable. A personable disposition accompanied with an occasional natural smile (apparently this is a natural expression for you in all your videos) and an 'evident' passion for one's work is always the winning formula for marketing. It is clear to me that you possess all three. Keep up the good work! May I suggest an idea for your consideration. You might consider incorporating the "cravat" bandage as a first aid injured arm sling for your Shemagh video. The cravat arm sling 'comfortably' supports the entire forearm with an even weight distribution - this is very important. See the website I have included below for more information on the cravat sling. Also, you might consider doing a video series on wilderness first aid/CPR and the need for proper training and simulated group/family first aid practice exercises. Emphasis on building wilderness first aid and trauma kits should be emphasized. Maybe you could team up with a professional paramedic or an Emergency Medical Technician to shoot and teach in the video. I do believe you would be a qualified professional to successfully make such a quality video. Thank you again for all the videos, research, and your hard work. All the best to you.... Ganz

    When using this as a sling for an injured arm try tieing a reef knot (Square knot in America) as this knot lies flat and is more comfortable for the casualty to wear.

    1:46 I wear glasses too. I'd kill for the ability to wear a conventional facemasks in the winter without having that fog build up.

    I have to say Lilly after watching all of your videos to this point and being highly entertained and informed it seems you are reaching to find relevant content with this video. Surely you can come up with more original ideas than a scarf that has easily replaceable alternatives. I know earning a living on The Tubes of You is difficult, but just continue to be yourself and I will continue to be a fan of you and your companion Dax. Just my 2 cents worth from a fan.

    Lilly , in hotter climates 90F+ I have found a shemagah soaked in water and worn around the head and neck makes things alot morre tollerable and is a good way to prevent heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

  • @neosquirrel
    @neosquirrel 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    So many possibilities for shemaghs. They also look great to wear for guys in the fall and winter, even without a coat on. I like using them with a long-sleeve shirt; especially great if you need an instant pillow for a hard surface to rest your head on.

    @KaoV1983 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks again for the great video. I purchased one for my outdoor kit after seeing it in use at some training. I like the idea of using it for the low back carry option. Keep up the great work.

    Shemagh is a wonderful thing, but please dont make a nuce of it with your strong knots, suddenly you fall from something (or even worse get attacked) and the ends will choke you or break your neck if something grabs hold if the nuce.

    These are the same thing our grandmas wore on their heads. But because some bearded dude in another country wears it suddenly it's in style. A hat and a scarf are better for our colder climates. I keep a snot rag in my pocket too :).

  • @Laiynnalaiynna
    @Laiynnalaiynna 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, Lilly! I especially liked the scraping tinder part, might come in handy one day, since most of my kit is wool, which doesn't burn. I watched Joe's shemagh video a while ago too, really helpful. Keep up the good work and give a big cuddle to Dax for me, will you :)?

      As Arabs, we've been using Shemaghs for more than 2000 years.
      It has nothing to do with politics. Some Arabs started using it as a political symbol in the last century because they felt that the foreigners were trying to change some of their cultural values, so they wore these Shemaghs as a sign of resistance.

    • @yousef.al-assaf
      @yousef.al-assaf 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Papa Smurf
      You are not justifying the hatred of Shemaghs, you are trying to justify the hatred of Arabs.
      I would like to tell you that we don't really care, hate us and our belongings as much as you want, but try to use your brain for once because your ignorance is one of the reasons that stand behind extremists rising to power.
      We are fed up with having to deal with these extremists, or having to tell our youth that stupid people like you are harmless, and should not be looked at as an enemy.
      Your ignorance is what brings harm to your people.
      I would really appreciate it if you used your brain-cells to think about extremism and politics logically, for your own people's safety at least!

      In no way is the shemagh related to any religion. Islamists do not have a patent on scarves

    The frontiersmen of America used what was called a neck kerchief in the 18Th and 19Th centuries for the same reasons. There are many people who do what is called 18Th century trekking and have many useful survival skills if you read up on them. Put yourself in the mindset of 18Th North America and how people lived in the wilderness. :-)

  • @stephmo371
    @stephmo371 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I also use it to keep my back in good posture if I'm doing some strenuous. I fold it diagonally and then roll it up so it's like a rope. Then I take it across my mid back and bring it the end forward to my front, under the armpits. Then take the ends up and around the back of my neck and tie it off. You can adjust the tightness to where it feels ok for you. This saves my upper back for being hunched over for too long and causing any possible long term pain.

    Godd vid, but don't forget about one of the most useful things about a shemagh...using it as a water filter, not sanitizing but filtering. Getting sediment and dirt, etc... Love your channel.

  • @susantemple2232
    @susantemple2232 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can also use to filter water, as a table cloth, and as a simple ground cover or place to put things that you remove from you backpack.

    Hi Lilly, ich weiß gar nicht mehr, wann ich Dich abonniert habe, jedenfalls ist dieser Video-Edelstein ist an mir vorbeigegangen. Habe sofort einen Shemagh bestellt; leider funzt Dein Affiliate-Link nicht für D, aber ich habe woanders noch einen gefunden. ;-) Ich musste bei dem Video an das blöde, dünne Dreiecktuch denken, das mir die Bundeswehr damals für ähnliche Verwendungen zu Verfügung stellte; die sollten lieber solche Shemaghs ausgeben. Die sind draußen im Gelände eine größere Hilfe.
    Lilly, Du gehst ja ab! Grade hast Du Dich noch über 100.000 Abos gefreut und jetzt kratzt Du an schon der Viertelmillion. Prima, das freut mich für Dich. Mach weiter so.
