True story:) But I forgot to say were I got the burn...
Really, it's not that bad, the dangers are over emphasised, a bit like my idea of Nordic folk CONSTANTLY taking off their clothes, engaging in free love and goodness knows what, having incredibly pristine houses with white paint and beautiful Birch woodwork on the inside and ALWAYS painted green or red or yellow on the outside (also possibly a light, greyish-blue), they ride bicycles from the 50's, all the streets in the towns are cobbled and they have REALLY green fields full of REALLY clean cows. The bouldering is excellent (on the three days of the year it's sunny) and they have to thaw out their car engines with tiny spirit burners every single morning (even on the three sunny days). They like eating and drinking and, while VERY happy when eating and drinking, they are otherwise rather stern, pedantic and judgmental.
They wear interesting clothes and astonishing, beautiful brown leather boots; highly polished and made of some sort of Elk...
They produce very strange singers, with some sort of depression problem who sing in an odd, almost 'whale song' manner. They very, very much like fish, they ADORE fish; and boats. They can not swim.
Just joking, I'de love to live in Norway; it looks so cool. I guess we all have a strereotypical image of other cultures.
However, having said that, coincidentally a family was recently terrorised by a kangaroo who had somehow got in to their lounge room. I'd rather fight a fox than a kangaroo, or even a young deer; not older than five days...
Kangarro, now you made me hungry! Nice summary of the nordic people:)
Well Carl, you can do the middle of the road thing, use the SR on the part of the head that you see. Then a De on the back. It works for me anyway.
As James said, you have the technique to do this easily enough.
It really sounds way worse than it actually is.
Go do it, I say, you'll love it:)
