he's recovering pretty well but it's going to be a long road. He was alone hiking on a trail in Benezette. Alone, no cell reception and 2.3 miles in. Stepped over a small stream to get some water and the snake got him. He told me if he was in 3.3 miles instead of 2.3 miles he wouldn't have made it. He got lucky, when he was coming out at the trailhead there was a guy just coming in to check on a cabin he owned. He told me that when he gets out of the hospital he's stopping to pick up a set of snake boots! Probably wear them mowing his lawn, going to the corner store... church...

I told him there ain't no snakes when you ice fish! ;D

He's doing better but still working at it. They are waiting for his platelet count to get higher before they release him. He's hoping for after the weekend sometime. I heard his story and to tell the truth, he is one lucky man. If you go out where snakes are prevalent,  think about snake boots and worry about cell reception. That was his biggest problem after the snake bite, it took him an hour just to get out of the woods because he couldn't call for help and he got lucky that there was a guy at the trailhead that was coming in to check on a cabin. He tells me that his first purchase will be snake boots and a sat phone/sos gps locator.

Thoughts and prayers to him.  I'm glad he's doing better and wish him a fast and full recovery.  As for his list of stuff to buy I would suggest adding a Taurus Judge and a few boxes of .410 shotgun shells with 7 1/2 or 8 shot  along with the other stuff.

Good some good news!!!   I talked to Rutt Nutt this morning and he said he was getting released from Pittsburgh Hospital this afternoon..  !!!
Hopefully he'll be back in the kayak and back to the ice after recovery...   :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie: :clapping:
