F-stops & Depth-Of-Field

First of all, my name *is* Chris and my handle is not something you
place a drink on - it's something you place yourself in, climb up
200-300 feet, and drop faster than you can think. And if I'm really
good at it, yes, the camera gets to ride too!

'nuff of the intros. From what I know about F-stops, a lower f-number
= a wider shutter aperature. IE: f2.6 - 3.5. A higher f-number(f6.5
- f.8.2) is pretty much a pinhole.

What I want to get cleared up is: Which end of that scale represents a
narrow depth of field( only the subject is in focus) or a wide depth
of field(the subject is in focus, as well as pretty much everything in
the background)?

Can someone straighten me out on this? Thanks!
