Not cheap though ($27 / 3.78L): http://www.homehardware.ca/en/rec/index.htm/Indoor-Living/Housewares/Giftware/Decorator-Lighting/Repl-Parts-Fuel/FUEL-ETHANOL-AMBIANCE-3-78L/_/N-2pqfZ67l/Ne-67n/Ntk-All_EN/R-I4360520?Ntt=ethanol# http://www.ambienceecofires.com.au/About-the-fuel-pg12086.html But a lot cheaper than the stuff at http://www.petrocraft.ab.ca/product_details?gocart6=product_id%3D186 ($16 / 500ml) I actually am looking for it to cut dye for leatherworking, as I don't really want to be spraying Methyl hydrate or isopropyl out of the air brush, and ethanol is much better for this anyways.

The Radio Show was one of the best radio show's ever. I can't forget you phoning around the country for advice on snow tires, or doing moose calls. I have never laughed so hard as during your show.

I use them, but I also have a tether on the camera (it goes from the base of the camera case to my bindings) 'cause glue and cold don't always cooperate. So far the bracket hasn't come unglued (I have a few times) but I wouldn't trust it entirely. I also use the camera on my sailboat, and also use a tether there. The camera is in a waterproof casing (like an underwater camera) so the snow and wet don't cause any problems. Hi Emme,

What do you use to mount the camera? I'd be so worried about losing it, or the snow causing damage to the camera. Guessing you have that all worked out. Emme Pretty darn cool Robert!

I did buy a couple of garnet shirts online a few years ago (obviously), but it doesn't look like they've still got them; they do have a GARNET hat, which isn't quite the same as the trust old shirt, but have a look http://stores.ebay.com/Garnet-Amplifier-Company you might want to ask if they've got shirts, I originally got them from here: http://www.garnetamps.com/parts.htm Hey Nick, thanks for your comments.

I have a pair of old Garnets and they are both fantastic. I'm in Toronto though and NEVER see any of the shirts. Does anybody out west still make them? I'd buy a few if they did! Cheers, Nick D. Hey,
