oh i like this post already!
us loin cloth wearing natives have some advice>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
1st cabelas sells snake boots. anti snake boots. if you have been warned they are thick i would buy them or dont go.
last cost of a snakebite was $10K just for JUST the anti-venom. obviously you will have other costs associated with your extended care stay. i would make sure my premiums are current.
cheese and rice buy some freeking snake shot. CCI makes it. .22, 9mm, .38/.357, .44mag, .45. pick one or bring a shotgun with #numba 6 shot
a .177 RWS pellet pistol works well at 760fps if yer damn good at headshots. I AM DAMN GOOD AT HEADSHOTS SINCE I PRACTICE A HELL OF ALOT after loosing count of how many snakes i have killed over the years where i live and where i work and where i play.
they are fast. wayyyy faster than YOU or ME!
there is a DIRECT SCIENTIFIC CORRELATION btwn THE NUMBER OF BUDWEISERS CONSUMED X THE NUMBER OF TATTOOS that = THE NUMBER OF TIMES BIT by the snake. IQ factor can be considered also.
if its a mtn area, i would not even go, cuz ya have to place yer hands above yer head to climb. trails..........well its them or you, fight or flight.
i wouldnt sleep on the ground.
i wouldnt walk around at night w/out a flashlight
and since its 116 degrees here they only come out at night now. they have infra-red............you DONT!
and the best part..............if bitten on the leg and you survive, it will look like a GIANT ICE CREAM SCOOP hole in yer leg after it heals, that is IF it heals and doesnt go gangrenous and they whack yer leg off.
have a nice trip. take some pics.
cant wait for the "rest of the story."
