As a backpacker in the Southwest, this kind of shit gives me nightmares. People always ask me if I'm afraid of running into a bear or mountain lion while backpacking. I'm truly not. It is much more likely to get bit by a rattlesnake. Fucking hate them.

I saw a rattlesnake a few days ago on my walking path, which is maybe 200 feet from the ocean. I normally walk at night and now I'm super cautious when I walk. I had no idea they were in the area. I walk in pitch black some nights, and knowing there are rattlesnakes there is unsettling.
