    If it's venomous, only one thing to do. Get your ass to a hospital.
    Yep, I'd wrap that in bacon! KEEP AMERICA GREAT, TRUMP 2020

    Now this is just me: Snakes are one of my 3 fears (sharks & heights are the other 2). So I figure that I'm probably going to have a heart attack if I'm bitten by a snake. So number 3 I disagree with. (Don’t try to identify, catch, injure or kill the snake – you’re likely to come off second best.) My first priority is to kill that sucker. I look at it that if he's going to kill me, he's going to die before I do!

    if I had a phone or camera .. I would try to take a picture of the snake for identification. different snakes have different venom and different treatments.

    It's Australia! Remember, there is a saying among herpetologists ... "There are no old herpetologists in Australia."

    1. Call significant others and tell them you love them.
    2. Get your personal affairs in order, quickly.
    3. Scribble down last will and testament.
    4. Have one last drink or smoke.
    5. Relax, it will all be over soon.

    I surf with sharks all the time. They are no bother.


    I cross snakes on the trail often. I no bother them. A few times though they do come after me. They scare me.

    When you are out on the trail you can carry this with .410 cartridges in complete peace of mind.

    Snake loads are only good if you see the snake first. If you see the snake first, there's less of a problem. Walking in tall grass used to make me nervous.
