Sort of stumbled across this forum. Live in BC and after a really crappy 2016 I am going to inherit some money. Decided a want a small place to get away. Looking for at land this weekend and hopefully can start the adventure soon.
And just because it is tradition on a few of the other forums I belong to, a first post joke:
Two best friends were hiking the Appalachian Trail.
When they sat down for a lunch break, one of them sat on a rattlesnake’s nest, and was promptly bitten on the butt.
Terrified, and with no snakebite kit in their first aid pack, the second camper instructed his bitten buddy to lie perfectly still to slow the venom’s progress, while he ran to the Ranger’s station they passed about five miles back to get help.
When he arrived, the Ranger was helping deliver a baby and couldn’t leave. So he told the hiker how to save his friend’s life;
“Just take your camp knife and make an incision where he was bitten. Then you will have to put your mouth over the incision and suck out the blood and venom before it gets into his bloodstream.â€
Thinking about the Ranger’s instructions as he raced back to his buddy, he arrived out of breath two hours later with a sad look on his face.
Barely conscious, the bitten hiker asked what the Ranger said.
His friend replied, “Sorry buddy, but he says you’re gonna die.â€
