Get you one of these and you can safely take them to the woods, we've used this one several times. We will kill a rattler if it keeps coming back. so far only killed 2 snakes one poison, one non poison that ate our peeps in the brooder. Still can't figure out how that one got thru welded wire and tight doors.
You and @Krystal Shay have been hearing too many Trump snake story's. Hope I'm not dooming myself to a snake bite, I do understand they can be deadly. My mother got bit by a big one in 1959, she almost lost her leg and could have died. It was in the car and when she pushed in clutch it got her. She said we kids left door open. She had killed many a snake, guess she didn't get them all. She still had the scars on her legs when she passed, seeing them when I'd bath her, I got reminded of that day.
It is meant for whatever you want to grab, so yes fetching counter items is another use. Just be sure to take the snake off first, so you don't hurt it.
We're in the beginning of a thunderstorm, right when Jake was fixing the well pressure valve. I've been using jugs to wash hands,dishes so hope the lightening doesn't knock out power. No water again. Maybe not.
I guess it depends on which geography/ecosystem you're referring to, and where I might be on any given food chain.
Oh, I don't know. A whole lot of species managed to find their way to extinction before we became involved.
I guess human can fit into the catagory of natural disaster. Before man the Garden of Eden was thought of as as perfect environment, then came man.
