Could You Identify These Venomous and Deadly Snakes?

dangerous snakes

Think you can't get bitten by a dangerous snake? Think again. When I was a young teen, my dad got bit by a rattlesnake in our backyard. What my dad thought was a bull snake ended up being a baby rattlesnake that was hard to identify.

It's true that identifying venomous snakes (especially babies) are challenging but possible. Learn to recognize the colors and different head shapes on a variety of snakes and over time you should be able to identify them in nature. This is a vital skill you must learn when you're living off the grid.

It's important to know that most snakes are not venomous, but that doesn't mean you won't come face to face (well, hopefully not that close) with one. Knowing how to identify one when your bugging out and dealing with a serious SHTF situation will ultimately be your key to surviving a snake bite.

Plus, if you were to get bit you'd be able to tell the people assisting which snake bit you, which would hopefully expedite your recovery process.

So as you continue to prepare for SHTF don't forget to prepare for everything, including how to identify dangerous reptiles such as snakes. My dad didn't think he would come across a venomous snake, especially in the backyard of our home, but he did, and he got bit.

After the break, learn how to identify a copperhead snake and find out where this dangerous reptile can be found in the United States. 

Then continue to learn about more venomous snakes because by taking the time to know how to identify them in nature, you could potentially save your or someone else's life.

    Could I? No. Do I really need to? I’m a debonair lumberjack, I have no need to identify a snake, I’m smart enough to know to stay away from them.
