over for hikercels... fuck rattlesnakes

[starcrapoo]

Goddammit its the summer and I like to enjoy the outdoors but I'm always fearful of rattlesnakes. I've only had one encounter but still...

I got weapons/tools to deal with mountain lions but rattlesnakes are something entirely different.

I like to go on long hikes in the regional trails that we have here in Northern CA. I like to go on mountain biking and fishing trips too. Nothing beats the outdoors. When I have my fishing pole set up and cast, I just sit there, wait and enjoy the view. Several hours go by and the day is already almost over. I go home, eat a really good meal and have the best sleep ever.

Thats great and all but the thing is, if you go on enough of these trips you'll eventually run into snakes. Eventually... I've run into snakes several times already over the years but only had one rattle snake encounter.

One of these days I'm gonna be deep into a trail several miles or more off of civilization and I'm gonna be fucked. Walk, run, or bike faster after a bite = dead.

BASED I FUCKING HATE HIKERS

 

[starcrapoo]

whats wrong with hiking? I'm trying to not be an alcoholic sitting at home all day in the weekends. all I do is get drunk, get an uber to the casino to get more drunk and lose money.

I'm getting to be an oldcel now in my mid30s and havent had a break from alcohol until very recently.

Today, I literally forgot to do something or left something on three times. Three fuckin times. Alcohol has already done its damage to my brain.

At first, when you decide youre gonna go on a hike, driving there and the first 10-20min of the hike can be incredibly boring (and you ask yourself why youre even doing this) but after 30 or 40+ min into the hike (usually in the 60min to 120min mark) you start to get runners high and feel tired yet happier.

deep into the trail you start to contemplate your shitty life and shitty past, yet you still have the great views all around you.

Carry a gun

yea i gotta start investing in actual outdoor wear. like light but strong boots, snake proof socks/leg guards and durable weatherproof hunter pants

although ppl would consider that kinda overkill just for off-trail jogging/hiking/fishing.

but hey, better be safe than sorry

the outdoors is a death trap, everything trying to kill you, if you go to the beach you get eaten by sea croc ie sharks and stung by jelly and rays. you go to the woods, you get eaten by crocs, stung by hornets , mauled by bears, hunted by lions and swallowed by condas.
you go the desert you get bit by scorpions and rattles. You go swimming in lakes, you get parsites entering your cavities. its dangerous everywhere.

tbh apart from getting eaten by bears or abducted by greys its a good activity.

very true, people swim in those beautiful crystal clear rivers up north in northern california thinking that nothing bad could possibly happen then they catch some super rare flesh eating bacteria with no cure.

mountain lion attacks are rare but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

Don't go deep in the wilderness and always look down. No one's gonna help us incels if we need help
