Anybody have some generic advice on dealing with snakes, how to avoid, how
to deal if come face to face with a big mammajamma, how to tell which are
poisonous?
Maybe a quick read book, or some trail experience from y'all veterans? No
offense, Coosa, but I dunno if your chant is enough for me<BG>.
Sank yas!
