Part of the alure of going into the wilderness by yourself is that if you mess up and an accident happens then you may not make it out. Although I am sure that there will be some denials coming...some of this is in most individuals that keep deadly venomous snakes. Although the earlier comments about the extractor are not too far off the mark, there were some good experiments done on dogs that showed a considerable amount of venom could be removed, if the suction device was applied quickly. In the backpackers situation, it might remove enough venom to save his life and the kits really should not add much to his pack.
