(There's an implied "ONLY GOOD WAY" in this writing of mine --in case
you get lost along the way. That's RIDING A BIKE. But you may learn
about some outfit which we associate with "terrorists." I cover the
Jews --it guarantees me attention-- and Lawrence of Arabia just to
make you think. There's a disappointment in knowing the truth though:
"the portrayal of Lawrence begin with the differences in his physical
appearance: 6-foot 2-inch. Peter O'Toole was almost nine inches taller
than the real Lawrence.")
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO:
Look at the traditional Arab outfit, now adopted by the Western troops
"protecting civilization" in the area...
THE SHEMAGH:
'They keep out dust, cut wind, contain and absorb sweat, can be "wet
down" to cool you by wrapping around your neck, can be wrapped around
leaves to fashion a decent pillow, if folded 4 times can filter water
(not recommended except if a carbon filter is unavailable-and boil
water as well if you can), can be used as a weapon (a Garrote, or you
can put a rock or other object inside and swing like a bludgeon),
makeshift towel, you can cut two small slits in the material and use
to shield your eyes to keep from going snow blind, and it keeps you
warm as a neck scarf as well.'

Then you start wondering how this "hat" protects you from the harsh
Middle Eastern sun...

How long will it be before you are "fried" by the sun? Doesn't it look
like as if something doesn't belong?
My interest in the subject comes from preparedness for the environment
where you must survive. That's JUNGLE WISDOM.
In my urban jungle though wearing such headgear will place me at odds
with the Jewish population. A pith helmet is radical enough, even
though it's "plenty hot" to merit one. Some people are even daring
enough to ask me why a jungle hat. Then I point out to all those
trucks out there, "ready for the jungle." Is a camel an option?
Lawrence of Arabia? Ah, the romantic times are over. Well, it takes
some imagination and a bicycle --too hot to walk-- to create new
adventures. Do the shemagh and pith helmet go together? How about all
that filth from cars? The struggle between colonist and colonized
relived again. We simply don't know who are the good guys anymore. The
guy on the bike should be the good guy, not feeding Big Oil's design
for the Middle East. Many drivers even act as terrorists, keep us away
from doing our own fight for freedom.
That's freedom to roam free, an essential need in a confused world, a
world where camouflage is part of the game. HUNTER AND HUNTED ARE
ENGAGED IN MORTAL COMBAT, in which there's only one good cause.
NOTE: THE SHEMAGH MAY EVEN PROTECT YOU FROM SPITTING DRIVERS. TRUST
ME, IT HAPPENED TO ME.
