[QUOTE="detecta2, post: 92342, member: 1421"] Its amazing the amount of people you talk to that are out there in the scrub walking through the leaf litter ,long grass and the scubby stuff and have no bandaging and absolutely no idea of the do's and donts after a strike.A little while back I had a run in wth a inland taipan up corner country, a beautiful 6 footer in louminous golden yellow wth a deep copper brown head, he was in his best colours and probably out lookin for a lady, anyway I was down on my knees for 10 mins digging out a old rusty belt buckle when he snuck up on me and he could have easily bit me on the rear,after I composed myself went to the car and got the camera for a few photos and heres the real scary part he moved into a small bush 2ft wide and high and completely disappeared, he was in that little bit of scrubby veg and could not see him at all, The taipan can hit you repeatably in the blink of an eye and if hes given you a good dose you've got around 45 mins. If you've got no knowledge and no bandages when you get a good hit from a venomous snake your in serious trouble ,so kit up and have a read so you know what to do, phill [/QUOTE]
