Since we have a sum total of something like TWO species of snakes: Fire Snake and Garter Snake, I don't think I need a snake bite kit. I guess that is one fringe benefit of living in this gigantic refrigerator we call NW WI. High was 40 degrees yesterday and leaves are still not all the way out.

A good cell/sat phone with good service so you call the hospital you're going to so they can prepare the anti-venom. I've seen a Lightly applied tourniquet to help ease the spread of venom through the body…..Especially if it's a long ride.
