What is recommended course of action if you're a) hiking solo, b) a couple of miles from vehicle, and c) bitten by a rattlesnake. Hike straight out, with no stops, and then seek medical help? Or should there be intermittent stops during return to vehicle? Does one vs. the other make any difference in rate of venom travel?

No way of knowing for sure. I would hike as fast as you can without getting your heart rate up. (good luck <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )
