[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 108876, member: 147"] Biggest problem with going overboard with snake protection is once you're wearing an almost full body suit one starts to get complacent, thinking that their protection will avoid them getting bitten. They concentrate less on the situation at hand and venture further in to the snakes favorite domains, inadvertently putting themselves at higher risk than they normally would. You've got more chance of being bailed up by a pack of wild dogs on several gold fields....but still that doesn't mean we should all carry a gun for protection. Common sense and being conscious that snakes, scorpions, centipedes, funnel webs, etc, also share our domain is all that is required. We have to keep it all in perspective, otherwise enjoying the great outdoors would be best achieved by sitting on the couch and watching Nat Geo channel docs. :| ....Unless of course you live at Jacko's place, where he gets Red Belly Blacks in the lounge room as well. :o [/QUOTE]
