Nice list, sgt.
Good thing about rattlers is they're skeerd. Copperheads aren't.
Agreed. The rattlers will at least warn you before they strike.
A funny story about that trip.
Our first night on the AT was spent in a shelter north of Fontana. We didn't have a reservation. Arrived there about 4:30 and were the first people there. It looked plenty big, so we set up out shit inside and out. About an hour later, a boy scout troop arrives with about 10 scouts and 3 leaders. Getting kinda crowded, but it's getting late and were cooking so we decide to stay and keep our mouths shut about the lack of a reservations. While we're cooking, another group of 4 guys arrives who seem cool. There's not enough room in the shelter for all 4, so they decide to pitch a tent outside. No harm, No Foul.
After dinner, the scouts do their thing and are off to bed by 10. My 3 buddies and the 4 other guys get to partying, sipping some whiskey and passing around a couple of bowls. My buddy breaks out some hash, and the other 4 are amazed. We proceed to get our smoke and drink on a bit more before bed. We decide to hit the shelter, and right before we walk in, one of the 4 guys says way too loud, "Thanks for the hash, guys". As we walk in the shelter, we get the shittiest look you ever saw from one of the scout leaders who heard the comment.
Next morning, we get up around 5:30, make some quick grub and boogie before the bad karma awoke.
