+1 on this.

Unfortunately though in some aspects, it seems this forum is slowly loosing many long time members. Many of the old stalwarts such as Bacpacjac, Dougwalkabout, Izzy, Dagney and many others are no longer contributing here on a regular basis. Even for myself, I seldom post here anymore and instead focus my attention on other forums such as Bushcraft USA which appeals more to my outdoor pursuits.
