Thread: ADI powder for 7RM

Looks like nice country you're hunting those sambar in. How many snakes do you see and what(if any) precautions do you take?

See a couple but most stop hunting about now or so when the snakes do come out,
the precautions are knee high gaitors , mine r ridgline canvas backed ones.. if any u guys know of where to get them in nz sing out as i think they r no longer made?

theres heaps of special 'snake proof' ones for sale now for a mint.... lol...

havin a decent material pant or so with say thermal under neath should keep you ok as the layers r quite thick an the tip of the fangs shouldnt reach so far with a strike, if that occurs.

typically ya see them like above, when ya walkin up hill lookin infront, an if ya dont see them, they typically strike ya on the Thigh anyway..... so ya cooked no matter what ya got on...

awesome country, no big mountains like nz just steep country with alot of gullies etc, same as nz tho in that the areas varie quite a bit
