[at-l] Hiker's Hanky?

If you can't find it, just make one.  Get some good cheap cloth at Wal-Mart;
they usually have a box or bin of pieces.  Then use some fabric markers
(Michael's should have some); make sure they are fabric markers or good
non-toxic quality permanent markers (some permanent markers will run on some
fabric).  Make it bigger than the average bandana and run a stitch around
the edge -- if Wally World has a demo sewing machine see if the fabric lady
will run a stitch around the edge of the cloth for you..  Use contrasting
colors so that the printing will stand out.

I use to have an old junker I drove regularly 4 to 5 times a week on a 150
mile round trip to college.  I made something similar JIC I had a breakdown,
and found it a handy all purpose rag for other uses.

A while back I saw a web page of some hiking products done by an AT
thru-hiker.

One was a bandanna that had messages printed on either side - "Ride to
Town" and "Ride to Trail"

It's a neat concept and I'm thinking of getting one for my daughter's
thru-hike this coming season (it'll make a great stocking stuffer for
X-mas).

Does anyone know of this web site?  I have been unable to re-find it . . .

Thanks.
