[QUOTE="Aussiedigs, post: 491572, member: 15108"] A few things to add... Snakes cant hear. Snakes can come out of hibernation for the day in winter to bask in the sun if the weather is mild. Venom in the bloodstream is not the issue, its the lymphatic system hence why you need to restrict movement. With Backcreeks scenario above, id tourniquet and splint the leg and travel as quietly as poss back to the vehicle. Carry a PLB. They are cheap in the scheme of things. Consider one as part of your prospecting kit. I carry one out on the dirt bike also. Al. [/QUOTE]
