And thank you for that bit of info. I've followed some macheteros around for awhile outside of Salta, but was clueless enough to not pick up on their hardware, though they were very generous with sharing their technique (much more important in my opinion).

More things to add to the kit. Just have to pick one up locally if necessary. Como se dice, "Can I get a Collins?"
