Switchback replies: I remember in the early days of Sierra backpacking, we just bit off the snake's head and spit it out.  No problem.  This was back when the last ice age glaciers were retreating.  Snake kabobs were always a treat at a deep wood's campfire.  I think that is where I first met Hula-Snow Bunny Boy.  A bunch of us gnarly mountainmen were discussing the Indians saying we were just another wave of Illegal Aliens invading their lands.  And in walks Bunny Boy all dressed up like he is a real mountainman.  We could tell right away he was really a pilgrim from the low lands.  Before we could capture him and give him to the Indians as a peace offering he took off into the woods.  I did not see him for years afterwards until he showed up in the PCT community --- I rest my case.
