Snakes

Just tell Hillary to get off the bike trail...

When you are riding a bike?

When I am out in pasture, woods, or snake places.

It’s not difficult to identify the handful of venomous snakes we have. Non-venomous snakes get a pass

Spent some pension money first day of this month. Went to Bass Pro shop in Broken Arrow. Bought a pair of Cabelas Treadfast 16” snake boots. Tried 1.5 mile walk in them this morning, flat trail, quick pace to see how much they hurt me, rub me raw, and where they bind the worst. Just had to stop halfway into my walk to loosen the top laces a bit. Felt like my calf muscles had swelled up as I walked. Way better after adjusting. Could have used these 40 years ago. Any one have field report on these kind of boots?

I have a similar pair like that. I wear them when in my woods.

Curious if they are true to size. Used to be able to order shoes and they would fit. Seems now they have 2-3 sizes difference.

Tried on size 9, my normal shoe size. Seems right. Plenty of toe box room, fits good, so far. I would never buy any footwear without trying them on. Or pants. All these different manufacturers, different countries of origin. Loath returning merchandise.

When riding bike deep in the woods, what do u do when encountering a snake on the road. ??? Do u wear snake boots to protect your legs , or anything like that ?????

If I’m deep in the woods, why am I on a road?

The only rule I have is don’t get bitten by a snake. It’s served me well over the years
