Me with my headphones in, on my last day on Earth… 😬
Wear tall boots if you’re hiking in rattlesnake territory
that’s when they go for the balls
Tall boots and a cod piece it is then.
Just tall boots and a codpiece, if you’re feeling confident
The gun is good!
The penis is evil!

Exactly. Never go without your gun!
What?
You’re right, arousing them is the way to go.
Wear tall boots while hiking regardless. Ankle support is important when you don’t have the infrastructure to make it easy to get to you.
Except, naw, Crocks.
You deserve to be flogged and then bit!
It never ceases to amaze me how little survival instinct many people have these days. Like you ride on your bike with your headphones on and your eyes on your phone and delegate all responsibility for keeping you alive to other people.
I have the same opinion.
I think that as a society, we have become far too dependent on having something playing in our ears at all times, almost as if we’re afraid of being with our own thoughts.
When I am out walking, it’s just me and the sounds of whatever is happening around me. Don’t just hear, but listen to the birds, distant vehicles, a dog barking, wind in the trees, and in this case, a rattlesnake looking for something to nibble on.
You are describing me. It stops my own thoughts from being too bleak.
Lemme be real here: I do not make it a habit to go places where there are rattlesnakes. As far as I’m concerned, I spent a lot of money on my house, and see little reason for leaving it, least of all for places far from EMT support.
I was just noting that my city-smarts-only self would be the one having a “let me go find myself with a hike” moment and absolutely get bit because it never occurred to me to leave the headphones at home so that I could hear the rattlesnakes.
I was talking specifically about city people in cities.
