Don't go out alone. Best piece of advice. Also, bring some form of communication (cell phone and backup like a radio, but neither of these may reach help). A GPS unit wouldn't hurt either.



Sawyer extractors are about the only field "treatment" devices I would use for a viper bite. Others can do what they want, but I won't be using a compression bandage on a viper bite either.
