First off I'd like to say hello to all of you , and thank each of you in advance. I am new at this so I hope that these questions do not seem to ignorant. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> What I'd like to know is , specificaly, what is each item used for in a PSK ? Are there suitable substitutes ? ( snarewire=pianowire) Where do you find most of your supplies ? Here in the states, can you find the british waterproof matches that are recommended so highly ? I know that this is a long topic invoking even longer answers , but asking is the best way to learn. Again , Thank you to all who take the time to respond.
