Hi Folks, I have just come across this advanced search engine in Google. http://scholar.google.com/ Google Scholar, check it out, it allows you access into a lot of academic papers, magazine articles, research papers from all over the world. Go for the links with pdf or Doc attachments...

I Love the clean polished finish you get after stropping. I have also used heavy canvas and three ply cardboard as a strop when I didn't have my leather strop handy. These alternatives do work but they require a lot more effort, 50 strops on each side with leather is equivilent to about 100...

Mariobab, if you are concerned about you or one of your family going into anaphylactic shock as a result of a sting or other allergy, talk to your GP. He can give you a perscription for an Epi pen. You'll need to convince him there is a genuine concern. The pens are available at any chemist...

Hi Xylaria, the world is truly a small wee place. Yes Skerries is a beuatiful idyllic little place, especially the coast between Skerries and Loghshinney, (although a bit bigger since you lived here.) Sent you a PM. Cheers, Frank

Hi All, thanks Sargey for removing the offending content. BFMHL, I think when Loz asked the question about whether anyone knew who was running Bushcraft Ireland, he didn't want the world to know my personal home address and contact details. By the way if you have my PRSI number, keep it...
