I first "stumbled" upon this web site in October last year and this sparked a dormant interest. I have since found many many sites covering the topics of survival and equipment etc. I must catagorically state that ETS is by far....I repeat by far the superior web site for this topic. I applaud you......I have since assembled a couple of PSK's and have bought much needed gear which I did not have. Needless to say, I have much fuller pockets than before! I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and I would be happy to provide any information that you would require regarding this part of the world, the gear we have etc etc. KEEP UP THE SUPERB WORK!!!

Thanks Thor! One of the pleasures of our growing community is the worldwide input; Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Sweden, Italy, Poland, Turkey, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Im sure still more I am remiss in listing. Learning what is universal is nearly as fascinating as what really works in specific locals ( trying to impress a native with your bowdrill skills as he helpfully offers the use of his lighter)
