Snake Bite Protection

[Oregonjohn]

Greetings all.

What do you use for snake bite protection? I see gaiters, chaps, and boots. Any recommendations? Pros and cons of the types of protection. Anything else that one should know about this stuff?

Thanks,
Oregonjohn

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure....Use your detector or walking stick to clear your path and let the snakes know you are approaching . Don't put your fingers where your stick hasn't been . Most snakes in the US are not aggresive and will move away if forewarned of your approach.

Luckily snakes are not a problem here. I always where leather sneakers or leather boots and stay out the brush if possible.
