[QUOTE="Stoney60, post: 216420, member: 6409"] The point of the post was to make people aware of the large numbers of Red Bellied Black Snakes at Grabby and let them know what I carry with me in case of a bite and the precautions I take. To irrigate a bite or not is probably irrelevant if you don't have pressure bandages with you and know how to apply them. Also, it doesn't matter if you dial 000 or 112 on a mobile phone, you will connected to Emergency Services provided you have network coverage and at Grabby its nonexistent. A UHF radio is a better bet as a lot of us locals monitor it for bushfire alerts. If my post helps someone avoid getting bitten or survive a bite then it's served its purpose. [/QUOTE]
