I am a selfish bastard. I have seen people die due to lack of equipment and common sense! I work hard and pay a lot for the equipment.

I instruct debris tunneling with the most possible minimal equipment. In any of the teams I train or on my own team if I see anyone share equipment or lend equipment to cover the other one's fault (lost, forgotten etc..) that piece of equipment is gone. They will never get it back. (I even check spare boot laces:))

The tradition here says "Horse, wife and weapon" you do not lend or give these <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Turks were migrators in the past so these were the three things that kept the life going.
