[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) I need more info on the rattlesnake story. Did you have your phone with you? Did you call someone to help you? What happened? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 0 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) This was before the modern age of cell phones, there was one pay phone for the whole camp. I was camped farther away from everyone else in my group and didn’t dare yell for anyone because it was on my stomach. I was barely breathing to not piss it off. It was a large group so my absence wasn’t noticed right away. Someone eventually came to see if I was sleeping in or sick, saw the snake and went running to find the nature lodge people, who saved me. edit: should add that it took them a while to find the nature lodge people who were out and about (again, no phones.) And then it took more time for them to agree on the best way to come in, protect my face and get it into a bag. It felt like eternity. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] artifice@lemmy.world -7 points 3 years ago (1 child) I would've browned my pants. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yeah I’m gonna plead the 5th on that one. First year camper, first time away from home, first time seeing a rattlesnake. Like that? Scared out of my mind. Just proud I didn’t have a heart attack. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] artifice@lemmy.world -5 points 3 years ago That's insane.
