Curious where you guys purchase your gear, particularly the random items like cyalumes or space blankets that probably aren't available everywhere, not to mention some of them are of lesser quality.

Where can one find good quality versions of such items? Amazon.com? :


edit: How do you recommend finding actually useful bandanas that aren't just decoration?
 
I get that stuff at campmor.com, never had a problem and shipping is fast.

Good selection of regular and silk bandanas.

I'm curious as to why people seem to like silk bandanas over cotton ones. The following site has the least amount of money for cotton bandanas that I've found anywhere, if you buy a dozen at a time.

27x27 paisley for $2.25 individually:

or $1.23 per bandana if you buy them a dozen at a time:

27x27 is oversized. You can pick up 22x22 paisleys for as low as $1.50 if buying singles at a time, or .82 per bandana if you buy a dozen at a time.

Solid color bandanas, no print, can be had for even less money.

Made in China, though, if you care about such things. Also, you have to pay shipping rates, which will vary depending on how much you order, where you live and how fast you want things delivered. I just checked the cost to ship 3 22x22 bandanas and to my house in CA. The cheapest method is First Class mail, which would cost me $1.21. Not out of line, I think. YMMV.

I bought a dozen 27x27 blue paisley from these guys a year or more ago and will probably never need to buy bandanas ever again. Of course, there's the whole "gangs are going to kill me for using a blue bandana" thing, so I might invest in some 22x22 bandanas in other colors/patterns for when I'm wandering the mean-streets of LA. :D
