My 'kercheif is preferably knotted at the back of my neck and draped over my adam's apple.
Yes, it is applicable to every use Rocky mentioned. But they are becoming difficult to find in the stores.
And I am informed by coworkers who are refugees from assorted cities, that one should not be caught on the wrong city street wearing the wrong color 'kercheif.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Concealed handgun, knife, wallet containing cash & cards which include ID.
Never carried a handkerchief in my life. If I needed a tourniquet I’d use my belt. Wipe my nose/cover sneezes on a kleenex.

In your initial post in the meme thread you specified a clean handkerchief. Glad to see you have dropped clean as a requirement. Mine starts clean, but doesn't stay that way. Same as the pocketknife: It starts sharp, but periodic use renders it less so with time. But I don't carry a flashlight; if light is needed, the phone provides enough to get by.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

Pointer, you make a...well, point. I carry a flashlight because I do not carry a phone. To those of you addicted to those electronic leashes, you still qualify as having a light.
To the tee shirt comment, if ever I'm bleeding and you offer me your sweaty, stinky, bacteria-riddled tee shirt as a bandage...I will decline. Many of the uses I describe should be limited to a clean hankie. If you are blowing your nose every few minutes into one, you have eliminated all uses but that one. Which is still less disgusting than a sodden sleeve right there in full view. Electronic leashes?

Always a handkerchief and a Kershaw lockblade. But I don't take the Kershaw into a business while I'm working.

An old guy carries a hanky because of all the snot coming out of his nose and the water coming out of his eyes.
Sure...you can use it for some of the other things the OP mentions......but come on.....
Let's get real here.

Dave, phone is an electronic leash. It tracks your location, reports everything you search for, and some of them listen to you all the time even when you aren't calling someone. They were made to be so handy they are "necessary" to have with you at all times. For one reason: so Big Brother can monitor you.

A torn up shirt for a bandage over a dirty handkerchief.... after going through allbsorts of crapy pencil style lights I have found that the Nebo inspector is pretty durable for less than $20.. the are good about replacing them if they do go bad. I had one accumulate so much dust that the beam focus became inoperable.. It was replaced like a Craftsmen ratchet.
Beanman,
you could always buy a knife there and mail it back to yourself...

Well Rocky if cell phones get an aroma sniffing function I will be sure to take it with me every morning when I take a dump.

I've left a few handkerchiefs out in the woods before. They made good toilet paper at the time.

I have little regard or use for a hankie, clean or otherwise. I do accouter myself with a flashlight, carry pistol or revolver, knife (or two), cell phone and cash.

My cell phone has a flashlight. No need to carry another small one. If I NEED a flashlight a better one is in the truck, pack, or desk at my home. I carry a bandana quite often, but not all the time. But once again I keep several in the truck console and in my home. It would be extremely rare for me to not have a pocket knife on me. If not on me, close by. I even keep a spare in each vehicle in case I have a senior moment and walk out of the house without one.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Ah Ha! The woods dump is a use I had not thought of (or forgotten.) A pack of dinky Kleenex would likely not be nearly as effective.

Got a six pack of snot rags from Costco, returned them after a trial run. LOL.
