Cool Outdoor Stuff

Bandana Maps: Bandana Maps aren't brand new, but I had never seen them before. They are detailed topographical maps made onto a cloth that can be used as a bandana or scarf. They will also be coming out soon with some river specific maps. They have maps from selected areas in Alaska, Arizona, California, Canada, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming. So you can wear it around your head or neck, not worry about it getting wet, and best part you don't have to figure out how to fold it up.
