    Coty, welcome to the Nation. I am glad you dropped in to join the group. Dont be shy just jump in anywhere and get your feet wet. There is lots to do, read and be involved with. Your participation and involvement is important to us all. Takes a bit to kinda figure it all out but you will be glad you did. Have fun and look around.

    I guess that you closed your foam thread because you had your answers (which is great), and maybe because we were getting away from your OP as well! Still, I'm glad you're doing ti with neighbours, should make things a little easier. Do you often work with your forestry people? In their area? Something to consider might be to use the same concentrate that they use - use up yours fighting their fires and they may replace your used stock? Using different brands could cause some issues if they do offer to replace your usage, as concentrates are not always compatible.

    Good luck mate.
