[pct-l] Snike bite Kit....!

Okay, in order to assess the reality of the risk and danger of getting bit by 
a rattlesnake, let's take a poll of all of those hikers who have a huge 
collective of trail experience, and see how many have been bitten in all of the 
years of their backpacking, camping and hiking.  

I will be the first to speak up;

In 45 years of camping, hiking, climbing, doing geologic field work over a 
huge amount of the southwestern U.S. I have NEVER been even struck at by a 
rattler and NEVER been bit.  

Have ANY of you?
