Smart thinking, on the ties. 👍 I've been using the same old Indian patterned bandana, as my face mask, since way way back. 🤔 When it's in the 90s or 100s F, I like to douse my ballcap in water, and wear it wet. Which is a little dumb, if you wear glasses. 😎🙄😁
But that bandana was just what you needed last year, during the forest fires.
