The Sawyer kit works extremely well for snake bites. And bee stings. You can actually see the venom coming out into the suction cup. Don't know where he bought it for ten bucks though. I think they went up to about twenty last time I checked. And all of ours come with that little lymph tourniquet.
I wish I knew more about these. I remember my scouting days first aid with the cross cut x, and how that has been discredited.
Wife and I are venturing into Texas, Colorado, and Arizona snake country on a camping trip in June, and I would like to know what precautions to take short of snake boots.
We have timber rattlers here, but you hardly ever see them.
