[pct-l] Snike bite Kit....!

Good example. I would have stayed calm and walked SLOWLY and CALMLY to the
highway to get help. If the bite was venomous the bite would probably be
getting nasty by then. The alternative would be to wait for someone else to
come and send them to the highway for help.

Actually, I carry a 2-meter radio and would have called for help on a
Palomar Mountain repeater. www.qsl.net/aa6j/pct

 Question, Last year I didnt see any snakes till after Scizzors Crossing I
was hiking by myself late in the day about 2-3 miles from Barrel spring and
I nearly stepped on a rattle snake. I think he may have struck at my hiking
pole as I saw the movement out of the corner of my eye. He even came up the
trail after me but I stopped and he stopped and slivered off the trail while
I was taking a picture of him. Im not afraid of snakes but I have a lot of
respect for them. If he would have bit me what would be the proper thing to
do? It was getting late and there was probably nobody behind me no cell
phone to call 911 or anything like that.
