Day 63: The Mighty Hair Tie – Your Secret Weapon in the Aussie Outback


G’day adventurers!

If you’ve ever packed for a bushwalk or a Whoop Whoop Walk About tour, you’ve probably thrown a couple of hair ties into your bag without a second thought. Well, mate, it’s time to start giving those little stretchy lifesavers the respect they deserve. Turns out, a simple hair tie could be the ultimate survival tool when you're out in the Aussie wild.

Survival Use: Hair Ties – Not Just for Ponytails

You might think hair ties are only for taming wild locks, but in the outback, these humble bands are about as handy as a multi-tool. Let me paint you a picture: you're lost (don’t worry, it happens to the best of us), and you've decided to build yourself a little shelter for the night. No rope? No worries! Grab a few hair ties, lash together some branches, and voilà – you've got yourself a makeshift roof that’ll hold up against the elements. If MacGyver had a sister, she’d be using hair ties like a bush boss!

Need to bundle sticks for kindling? Hair ties. Want to secure that tucker you just caught? Hair ties. Struggling to keep your water bottle from falling off your makeshift belt? You guessed it – hair ties.

Pro Tip: A good old hair tie can even double as a tourniquet in a pinch. Just make sure you’ve got a big one, or you'll be in for a bit of a squeeze!



How to Pack Smart for a Walk About

When preparing for your next bush adventure, pack a few extra hair ties. They weigh next to nothing, but they could save you from all sorts of tricky situations. Whether you're tying things down, building something up, or just keeping your hair out of your face, they’re a must-have.
