At young age I picked up a book from my older brother's shelf. It was titled "The Survival Handbook". Read about cooking ants and since then got hooked on it (survival reading that is <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ). I find it an important part of my lifestyle to be able to help others and not live in ignorance or to be helpless. It also breeds independence.

Sometimes when I visit the forums here I panic. I discover how little I actually know.
