off the top of my head thoughts ( no guarantee of results)

wear a wetsuit that looks like a great white shark : ever hear of a shark bitten by a snake or turtle?

as you go along in the water, pee constantly : doubt they like pee anymore than we do

don't use barbecue sauce as sunscreen

Love the suggestions LOL.

I wouldnt worry about the alligator snappers,they only get to about 200 - 250 pounds.Big enough and heavy enough to kill you,most likely by drowning if a big one grabs you,unless you bleed to death by one taking your hand off.Take a friend.

I'm just worried about snakes here but I think they have pants to prevent snake bites

That particular day I took at least a couple of steps on top of it,, more cartoon style though.

No Offense Talon. But swinging My excaliber in the water fast is not easy. Scooping a snake that swims very well with it and then trying to fling it far enoughaway sounds really hard, especially if you are chest deep?
Many years ago I had a moccason get in the water with me in Texas,,, and came right up to me. I backed up and it advanced, but never struck. It isn't easy getting out onto a bank but I did. And it did freak me out. ( ever watch lonesome dove?)

On the other hand, Here is what I do now..... try not to think about it. And I have decided that if confronted crying and making a scene would disgust the snake so much it would just snort at my unworthiness and swim away.

I'm saying use it like a snake hook. If it is floating on the surface, you can scoop right under and relocate it. This guy is a bit of a yokel, but it gives you the idea of what you could do with your detector. Scoop, toss. No need to injure. Then get out of the water.

And I have seen "Lonesome Dove", more ridiculous death scene I've ever seen. I work with snakes for a living and I don't know what the hell those were supposed to be. But it's entirely Sci-fi or Fantasy.

Yeah it was rediculous . For effect. I have an ocean swimming phobia I fight too, when I am wading around the beach. Guess what show messed me up there? Lol

And I can't understand why they don't use silenced 22s on the walking dead? The zombies heads look really soft, soo?

Oh, and one day a landowner asked if I was carrying and I said yuppers . He said, good, cause he saw a mama bear and her cub that week. Hmm. I had the 380 and was really wishing I had brought more juice.

But here is what I did, besides steeling myself and preparing to snivel on command? I tried not to concentrate on it and just paid attention.

Seriously I haven't had to yet, but I bet uncontrollable sobbing will get you out of most tough scrapes with wild critters, won't it?
