Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Before cloth was so insanely cheap, and used packs practically free, that was a hella multipurpose rig!

A square of cloth is too useful to be without when you're outdoors.

Strain water
Wipe your face
Wet it and wrap it around your neck
Wrap your neck when it's cold
Tie it to a pole with your gear in it

I have a gaiter in both my water and land bags. Sometimes two!

Poles are handy!

Walking stick for tough terrain
Fighting other hobos
Carrying your handkerchief

I carry a "spider yeetin' stick" in the summer. Monster orb weaver blocking the trail! Wrap her and yet her in the woods. Path clear, spider unharmed.

You can also wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat, wrap it around your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, and also wave it as a distress signal.
