I'm curious, Greg. Do you actually record nature? I very seldom see
any relation to nature recording here and I hardly see the relevance
of all the latest talk, as I say I'm just curious.. I would have
thought all the gear that is talked about is tried and tested in all
kinds of "outdoor" environments first?
