Rattlesneks

  Rattlesnakes aren’t even all that triggerhappy. A guy in Arizona went around the desert with a proxy leg and “stepped” on over 150 rattlers and for the most part, the snakes just wanted to get away. I think he said 6 of them chose to bite the leg

    Don’t tread on me! Please. If that’s the same to you, I’d rather be left alone. Thank you.

      I’m actually very distressed myself that I’ve stepped on you. This is not what I expected or wanted out of my day and I hope we can move along and never see each other again ever

    I was once halfway through climbing through a barbed wire fence when I noticed one directly under me. Pants shittingest moment of my life. Fortunately we both maintained our chill and there were no fatalities.

  My cousin always posts about how he’d be loyal to you forever but if you cross him he’ll kill you. Usually it’s text on top of pictures of skulls or bugs bunny with a gun so you know he’s serious.

    If not friend why friend shaped? /S

    Seriously though keep your distance from critters, if you don’t it’s a fast way to turn an awesome day out into thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of dollars in emergency medical bills.

    I’m from the PNW and people get way too close to critters on trails all the time.

    I can’t vouch for this, but I heard once from someone who claimed to be an expert that the majority of snake bites occur on the hand or lower arm, not the leg, and that the majority of snake bite victims were found to be intoxicated at the time.

    I’m other words, most snake bites happen because drunk idiots try to pick the little fuckers up.

      Having hiked hundreds of times I’ve run across a few dozen rattle snakes, every single time it occurs while someone else is nearby, they’re trying to snap a selfie with them.

      It’s bonkers because that just frightens the snakes. If I see one alone I just take a wide birth and they don’t rattle.
