>>2028038Righto mate, I'll lay it out real simple for ya like my old man did for me. If you dont know what it is dont fucking touch it, goes for all snakes, bugs and plants right?
If you cant see your hands, dont put em there you will get bit by something.
Ants can be a real cunt, dont set up around jumping jacks or bullants
Roos can get a little fiesty but I've never had any real trouble
Depending on your state and where you go, the ol Rangers do drive around and i have seen one hike a trail but if you're being a good boy and leave no trace they let you off
Carry a snake bite kit and a plb if you're going off trail
If its on trail register your hike with the local ranger station, check in and out at the start and finish.
Alton goods seems alright as do Summit but Mont is good kit
Campers Pantry hiker bullshit meals arent bad for hiker bullshit meals, good enough for a lazy dinner mid hike I'd say
All in all just do your best to not be a dumb cunt
If you happen to be from vic, Otway ranges, starting at lorne, The Grampians and Walhalla are some good places to start looking for hikes
