Down here in australia we have heeps of snakes, some of the most dangerous on the planet, so whenever you are tramping around in the summer you gotta be careful. I spend alot of time camping out in the bush aswell, so im especially careful.
Anyway, since i was about 11 or 12 i have just had this weird type of 6th sense thing when it comes to them. Ill just be walking along and kinda know when they are close by or im in danger. Note, this strictly applies to snakes. Women, thugs and bullets still see me as fair game. Many times ive been walking with people, and just freeze up, and then look over and there is a snake moving out of our way. On one occasion i did this 6 times in one afternoon, myself and the person i was with were amazed. I really couldnt explain it.
Personally, i think it might be some kind of primal caveman sense humans have. Maybe because im out there alot its just developed a bit. people just have this natural aversion to snakes. I know somebody who has a 2 yearold who is mortally afraid of the vacuum cleaner nozzel part which is long and snake like.
Another alternative is that im a superhero freak boy sent from the future to protect man kind. Either way im cool with it.
