I just received my first shemagh (an import from Afghanistan, actually) and this is the first video I watched about how to use it. Thank you for the simple instructions.
Just got mine I got With a simple bandit tie
They could a great asset , when you are cold . I have used this so much for Hunting, hiking, staying in caves at night . I advice anyone who seeps outside in cold weather to toss one in their backpack.
A very versatile piece of kit, takes up almost room with a million and two uses.
I just pull my T shirt over my head shouting, I am Cornholio!
I need TP for my bunghole!!!!
@John Classified LMAO!!!
Heh. Heh heh. Heh. "Bunghole"
Freckin' Idiot. Heh heh.
Are you threatening me?

Very good I have used them for years. We used to call them scarves. My winter one is a wool Black Watch Tartan the green and blue is a surprisingly good camouflage in the forest. It is about the same size and ties in just the same ways. I have one of newer ones for the summer in dry country, green and green on brown. Lets the air move and makes a bit of shade all to the good. I hear some of the colors and patterns are significant in some parts of the world, be carefull what gang colors you choose.
Most of the natives go with black + white, or red + white. If you're Muslim ☪️, you have a black band around the forehead (honor Mohammed). If you're not wearing it with the black band, you're not impersonating. Of course, folks make a living (natives) making + marketing authentic / original, vs, say, knock offs from *"China," etc..
I think that scarves are rectangular, these are square and made of a specific fabric which makes them more versatile.
A shemagh (or ghotra or keffiyah) is just a piece of soft woven cloth, which can be the size of a table cloth and any variation of smaller size. If you're in the Middle East, the patterns woven into the fabric will represent a sect or a people group, such as any of the terrorist organizations. They all have their own patterns and colors. So, you can ID who a man is, by his shemagh.
EDIT: If it's long and rectangular, it's called amamah, which are popular in some countries or during certain times of the year/for certain occasions.
Wool for Winter. After 4-6 hours behind a Sno-Thro in a Thin Cotton one I am dripping.

@Mohammad khan And all followers
Using mine from the army a lot these days. Thanks for the good vid!
In Melbourne, Australia where compulsory wearing of face masks became compulsory today, scarves (which I presume includes a shemagh) are considered an acceptable alternative.
And to think it's not that long ago that we were discussing banning face coverings in public.
I live well outside the current lockdown zone, but who knows? So I've got a shemagh and some masks on order.
Thanks for the demo on at least one way to wear it.
It’s April 2020. Who’s laughing now?
yeah never thought id have a reason to consider buying anything like this ... now ... wondering why the warnings werent heeded so i wouldnt have needed to know how to tie one ... or own one.
Yoda Man you mean the warnings China gave to the world that weren’t heeded .
Oh wait...they didn’t. Use a bandana, geez
I'm laughing at dumbass's wearing masks
D MD Arabs. Not all Muslims wear this
Me.
the laugh at the end helped my day even more than the great tutorial. thanks!
That laugh at the end was enjoyable 😂.. didn't expect that..nice
Tribal Scream
I Am Prior Service USMC and US Army, and,a owner of several shemaghs. Believe You Me, here in Tucson, Arizona, they come in handy for Me both at work as a landscape laborer, and also , makes a nice fashion statement,accessorizing My Condor cover and outfits.
My ex girlfriend decided it was a good idea to burn a box full of irreplaceable items I stashed during my career in the U.S.Army. Having said that. I've been unable to find a company that makes a quality shemag. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for that as I have a Jihad to attend this weekend and I was wondering what to wear.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Baron Von Trenk , I hope you were just kidding right? good ole fashioned HOO DOWN EHH??? LMFAO
what jihad seminars did you attend at what location? did they offer free snacks?
Real worriers need no protection
Those who make fun or spread falsehood will have a hard time explaining why they did so on the day we are all judged for our deeds. Do you really want the extra weight on your shoulders from a silly comment?
Thanks. Really useful. My bro-in-law gave me a shemagh a couple of years ago. Never really had a use for it until now.
1:57 wtf?
Oestfeldt 🤣🤣🤣
😂
It was deadcry
forgot to go boom...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just bought my first shemagh and yours was the first video I watched top figure out how to tie it, nice job, and thank you
Perfect recommended video during Quarantine. No N95..just wrap around a militant style face cover.
Warm, yet light enough not to trap all the moisture from your breath here in snowy Michigan. Very comfortable in the cold.
I literally just bought my first one for when it gets chilly here in Michigan and was looking how to tie it. Glad to see someone else from here also has one!
Thanks for keeping it short and simple!!!
This is one of the best pieces of backpacking gear you can get. It replaces bandanas, towels, hats, sun umbrellas, it can pre-filter water, make a sling or a splint, carry firewood, use as a potholder for pulling dishes off the fire, for $10 it’s dumb to not have one.
Omg that noise at the end!!! Lmao
Lol
That's the sound a haji makes when the Male goat decides to "assert his dominance"
@@corpsman1980
Which goat?
I don't you are quite healthy.
Go see a psychiatrist.
Bedouin War Cry
Very tacticool .. I normally use a ball cap. It’s a little easier to put on. I’ll whip up a video on it and demonstrate it next week.
Still waiting on that video my man
@@natew8831 same
Baseball caps don’t protect you from the sun.
@@0IIIIII Especially when the bill is in the back.
Good video man to the point! Not like all the rest of these people on UA-cam that just want to talk . Thanks 👍🏽
The laugh at the end cracked me up.
With global warming, as more people try to survive harsh weather, this video is really important. This summer will be brutal for some.
Lol do not approach within 500 feet of federal or state building
forrestgumball , or walk into a bank
or Airport
With ak
where is your AK47 ?...or be-heading knife...?
No kidding! Next time I go jogging near the capital I’ll wear one if it’s cold. Let’s see how that goes . . . .
The plague brought me here.Thank You Creek!
Jon Woolhiser Thanks plague.

This wont do anything to help against a VIRUS
Branch covidian?
@@lazerhawk5714 neither would any mask but unfortunately were forced😢
Al Gore has Rhythm. Great and concise description Creek. Fan since The Weather Channel had your show on
Thanks. Love how u ended this video🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this. I always thought these were two-piece articles such as a hat and bandana (this is what I traditionally wear in cold). This is much more convenient and would take up less space in a pack being one piece. Also I can see where these could prove useful in more than just cold weather. Creek, you are awesome!
I own too many hats I do not wear because of many reasons. The Shemagh does the trick, even in freezing weather.
that much more easier than I thought it was going to be. thanks
Thank you for this video, although it may have been done years ago, I learned exactly what I needed to know.
My grandma uses hers all the time.
Thank you so much!!! I just got a shemagh for airsoft and I'm glad this is the first video I watched! I even got it on the first try
Finally someone who actually explains it and shows step by step you are the best thank you a lot
Great and easy to follow video. I now know how to tie mine!
Got 3 the today! I am in love! Will be using these for fishing from now on!
You commented this 11 years ago, crazy lol
The maniacal laugh deserves two thumbs up.
Loved the end of the video....did not see that coming!
This guys name is Creek? Outstanding!
nice to see Paul Weller keeping busy
Not only terrorists wear these, many military groups do and they are very good for keeping warm in the winter and cool in the summer, as well they help with basic survival.
1:57 when the IED actually blows up
Somehow 90%of comments isnt about "thanks. Im heading to an airport"
As a reasonable person, i find you greatly troubling.
These are useful tools. Military don't use them just in the sand though. I have used them in jungle settings on the job too.
Best Shemagh demo I'v ever seen. U rock man thanx!
Can i use this instead of face masks to prevent covid?. Gonna look badass at Walmart
gilbert carmona Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe I can get one with kittens on it. Less threatening.
@@user_16309 🤣🤣 im all in!
Loose weave, probably not the best cut of cloth for it. But f it, that’s what I wear haha
I'm already on it!
Totally do it, and in a concealed carry State. Make sure your eyes are bloodshot before you go in.
Thanks for making your video short and to the point.
I bought one about that long ago (years ago). Now I can use it for more than filler in the go-pack!
the end tramatized me
airsofter556 you're spelling of "tramatized" traumatized me!
Edwin Elnathan your inability to distinguish between "your" and "you're" traumatised me
Your failure to end your sentence and your misspelling of "traumatized" traumatized me.
@@slimps221 your failure to put a comma after end your, traumatized me.
@Tollonis Your failure to use the correct "your" and "capital" traumatized me.
Thanks, I was going on a bivouac with my AAFC squadron and I bought a shemagh and I didn't no how to tie it, cheers mate
I have seen a lot of people use this style out in the deserts around Los Angeles. Once the wind picks up the entire top of there head gets filled with sand. The section he takes under his chin goes around the top of the head in other styles that do not leave you with a literal "sandy blond" look.
Got one to use in place of paper masks. I know I will cut a terrifying figure in public, but I mask up on MY terms. Thank you for the video. I now know how to tie one. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
You have some cool content that i find worthy for myself to watch ❤
Thank you so much I just got one the other day now I can tie them great. I wish I could send you a pic of what I've leaned
How to be the coolest looking guy in the field
Thank you for the video. I purchased one of these scarfs to wear while I am riding my scooter in the cold weather and couldn't figure out how to put it on my face properly. Thanks
Thank you! This is harder than it looks. I'd like a larger one, but they all seem to be the same size.
Wrap around neck scarf + use as a sling if injured arm filter water etc great piece of gear i hve one too
Loved the laugh at the end started laughing hard great video
I wish I had this years ago when I went to White Sands, NM. The only time I ever been to a desert. Man, that wind drives sand into your teeth and your hair gets sandblasted.
Watch this without audio and its a radicalizing video
I like your videos. Short and to the point.
Thanks willowhaven. Cool vid. I have several shemaghs, am 110% American (actually 3/4 Native American), and I wear mine all year depending on the weather. They can warm you or keep you cool plus are very multi-purpose. Thanks again.
oh jeez, I wish I could get a dime for every time someone claimed to be a percentage of native American. Also by your profile pic, there is no way you are 3/4 or 75% Native American,
David Horgan you realize Genes dont always physically show what races someone has in them right? If you had paid any attention in highschool biology you would know that. And the US hasnt been around long enough to establish a race of people, you can break down Caucasian into about 3 races, 1, Norse or Germanic 2, Slavic and 3, Latin (im talking Italian) and some may argue even Asian
David Horgan like American is a race or ethnicity !!! your ancestors were immigrants from all over the world
The maths not adding up, lol
You wrapped it perfectly so the triangle was evenly over your face!
Hahaha go, Creek!
like that idea better than others. brigade quartermasters has the traditional 44x44 inch shemagh. nice laugh at the end
Great video, very clear and easy! Thank you sir!
I wore a shemagh (sheh-mah) (also called ghotra {goh-trah} or keffiya {keh-FEE-yah}) as a face covering during the US outbreak of SARS-CoV-2. I wrapped this style of shemagh shown by Creek Stewart (with minor variation) to cover my face to satisfy the requirement that faces be covered. I also figured out how the wrap the turbans worn by Sallah and Indy in the Map Room scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, using the loose tail to cover my face. These wraps help in many weather conditions, as well as when I ride my horse. In extreme cold conditions, a paper mask can be worn under the shemagh, to trap moisture. I recommend these wrapped shemagh highly. The wrap of the shemagh type shown in this video is quick, easy, versatile, comfortable.
EDIT: See also British SAS shemagh
Thanks man! first time i tryed this without a mirror it went perfect! :D
I pick golf balls at a driving range and it's 27 degrees here today. The golfers have a porch and heaters, and I now have a warm head. Thank you.
Love these, one million and two uses.
That last sound just broke a glass on my table jeez!!!
My most favorite is the British SAS style. No knots, no strangulation hazard (just in case).
Cheers mate, not something I would wear in any formal party - but good enough for anything else.
Perfect outro
Мне больше всего понравилось использовать этот самый шемаг в качестве коврика-подстилки, что б при чистке на него складывать детали винтовки.
*Note to self:* Put my British Issue Desert Shemagh on and run into the Airport screaming (as featured at the end of this video). 👍👍
What's your update?
*khufiya
Think about it, 1.7 million people thought this was interesting and watched it
Nice one, like the howl at the end too! LOL
That laugh at the end lol
Cool vid, that last part cracked me up!
Damn, I bought a Sniper Face Veil made by Condor Outdoor Products and it's got 8" more on one side.. It's more of a camo veil. Think I'll buy a Shemagh also.
@AmosJohnson if you wet the keffiyeh the water will evaporate keeping your head cool. Also it protects your eyes because it is partially transparent but not enough to the point where sand will get through
These go back to biblical times. Abraham, being a nomad of sorts definately wore something like this during his travels across Canaan and Egypt. Also, I am certain the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years also had them. Traditionally, you cloth would bear the weave of your tribe, hence Levites wore one pattern while the Benjemanites wore another...
soak it in water and wrap it around your neck, helps to take the edge of the heat.
As a Midwestern man of middle eastern descent I don't think I live in the right part of the country for this
Look for outrageous colors and graphics. I've seen them in pink, orange, etc. Graphics range from skulls to Mickey Mouse.
I purchased a shemagh. I'm learning how to use it. I put on a durag also.
Excellent job on teaching
Ah from UA-cam to The weather Channel. How Creek has grown.
nice I like this way the best out of all ways to wrap ,awesome job I appreciate this .
great stuff i use a sniper vail and do have can use arm sling head wrap and fish net like shemagah mask shifted mask as will
Going to be popular again in America , wear it at your peril !🤣
I've got a shemagh and I'm SOOOOO going to WalMart this afternoon.......
That last scream at the end made me sub XD
Instructions unclear.. Police came after me when they see me with backpack.
In India it is called " Arafati angauchha"
July 2020 Panic has forced my hand. Store's require face-coverings.😠 Okay! You asked for it! Shemagh Time!😉
I still have a tremendous urge to pull my t-shirt over my head, raise my arms like so 💪, & shout,
I AM CORNHOLIO!!!😦😦😦
(Are you threatening me?!)
Long live Beavis!!!😄😄😄😄
Thank you
