Bandit, I looked with great pleasure at your homepage. I think our "debate" about preparation is just two people running exausted around the same tree. Only the tree is smart enough to stand still. You should export the parang with the school logo etched on it. Lofty Wiseman's reference to it has inspired many to seek one. You seem to also be involved in conservation issues. I am active in efforts to preserve our California Coastal Redwoods.
