    Here in Australia we call it the spider dance, when your walking outside at night and you walk face first into a massive spider web.. most of the time the spider drops to the ground immediately but you do the dance for at least a minute anyway to make sure its not on you 😂 Everyone who lives here knows this unique dance move.

    • @RustCole01
      @RustCole01 Год назад

      Probably a reasonable reaction considering some of the spiders you guys have down there. I live in the NE United States and people here are afraid of spiders, despite the fact that we don't actually have any dangerous spiders in our region. We also don't have any dangerous snakes and people here are mortified of them.

      About 10 years ago up in Longview, Texas, my brother and I were fishing on the Sabine River one night in his flat bottom boat. We were pretty close to the edge and I kept hearing a bunch of clicking noises and said, "what the hell is that noise." I grabbed the flashlight and shined it towards the bank and we saw a bunch of eyes everywhere. As we got closer, I was shining it on a limb overhanging the river and it dawned on us that it was a swarm of giant ass fishing spiders crawling over each other trying to get into the boat. They were making the clicking noise, either by walking or with their mandibles. These were the biggest spiders I've ever seen in my life, I freaked out. There were thousands of them. My brother hit one with a paddle and put it in a Whataburger cup to take it home. I ended up catching the tree on fire for whatever reason, I was in terror mode because I hate spiders. We high tailed it back to the boat ramp and called the fire department and they just let it burn, I got a pretty big fine once they figured out why I did it lol. The one my brother had taken home in the Whataburger cup ended up waking up from its paddle induced coma. He came to his senses and killed it. He measured it and the legs spread from tip to tip was a little over 6 inches long. Just a big nasty ass looking hairy spider. Never went to that river again.

      These spiders had a home and the boys disturbed it. They were simply just as afraid of the boys and the water submerging their nest. They didn't even want to attack the kids, they just wanted to get to safety.

      Lol I envy that you love them. I was actually thinking the same thing at first. "Oh the poor spiders. They were only coming out because they were scared or holding onto the boys because they didn't want to drown." And then we get reminded of their anatomy that they can swim and survive under water for a bit because of the bubbles on their legs. Most spiders that get caught on an animal bigger than then will immediately drop off. Don't worry these critters weren't in any danger. They probably had a good laugh once they swam back and scared the kids.

    I had the most horrifying experience of my own with dock/fishing spiders. My first job was for this river recreation company. It required taking kayakers and canoers out on one dock and picking them up at another dock miles down the river. One of my jobs was also to bail water out of the bateau that we had tied up to the main dock. I remember having to walk out about ten feet out into the river on top of the bateau and being SURROUNDED by those horrible things. I remember crying while forcing myself to pump out as much water as i could before i finally couldn't take it anymore. Just for the record i dont hate spiders nor like killing them but they still make my skin crawl, especially with how big they get.

      As a rule of thumb, the larger the spider, the less likely they are to be venomous. The big ones evolved to chase down and overpower their prey, whereas the smaller ones rely on potent venom (and webs, usually) to immobilise their food.
      Of course, many species break this rule: Sydney funnel-webs, Brazilian wandering spiders, white-tail spiders, etc.

    • @thecaptainsnark

      the only reason to lie would be if the truth were actually enticing enough to get kids to ignore the danger. Some kids might be like 'yea that sounds fun lets go look at horrible spiders' but if they did they would NOT have gotten onto the dock like they did they'd just go look.
      Also, that genuinely seems like an interesting camp excursion to bring campers to learn about the spiders.

After it had stopped and everything was somewhat dry I decided to retrieve said bucket which was filled with rain water and there just happened to be a somewhat big spider in there.
      So, when I dumpfed it into the toilet said arachnid tried to jump out before being sucked down. That was quite scary.

    • @whyjnot420
      @whyjnot420 3 года назад +1

      With the respect that vets deserve I would like to ask: Is rarely the proper word here? I have heard many stories of military vets having trouble adjusting, esp. when they are actual combat veterans, but given the sheer number of vets out there it has always seemed to me to be a small but not insignificant number that have this problem.
      Perhaps I only ask this due to my personal experience with my father, who served 2 tours in Vietnam and spent just shy of 7 years in the army, getting up to E-6 before a medical retirement. I was born several years after he retired from the army and never saw him really have any difficulty in his life from as far back as I can remember. He has owned several small businesses over the years, some fairing better than others and generally speaking seems to have lived a decent civilian life in his now 75 years on this planet (he was a V-E day present to my grandmother and grandfather). Sure this is just one person, the only vet I know extremely well as he is my dad, but far from the only combat vet I know as well, all of whom have to the best of my knowledge assimilated back into society without issue.
      BY NO MEANS do I intend for this to demean vets who have trouble getting back into the civilian way of things, esp. combat vets. The military is a different world and combat, well combat is combat. But that said I cannot help but think the use of the term 'rarely' ignores all the people who serve and do not have much if any issue returning to the civilian world. Also by no means do I mean this as any form of personal attack. "rarely" to me implies say a 1 in 1,000 or 1 in 10,000 chance while common would be say, 1 in 5 and uncommon would be something like 1 in 50 or 1 in 100. Of course 1 in 1,000 would still mean a metric f**kton of people with the issue of readjusting to civilian life due to the sheer number of people who have served.
      What I have heard from my father and others, is the lack of support given to vets coming home by the govt that shipped them off in the first place (all vets I know are volunteers), seemingly leaving it up to the vets themselves to readjust for the most part (not to say there is no support out there, just far far far less than should be given to people who choose to serve the country I am very proud to call home and therefore by that virtue, serve me, for which I will always say thank you).
      I would love some more detailed info on this subject because I cannot for certain remember any hard statistics from a reliable source talking about the numbers involved here. Everything I know on this subject is anecdotal and therefore carries no weight when talking about vets as a whole in any given time period, obviously a vet returning from Vietnam had a very different experience than a vet returning from WW2, so as the history nerd in me is apt to do, I treat each era as related but ultimately different things, since you cannot use the optics of today to learn about say, the war of 1812.
      caveat: everything here is meant within the context of the US, I am sure other nations suffer similar problems but my knowledge on this subject outside of the US is sparse to say the least.
      And again, thank you to all who have served.

    I lived in a small fishing community when I was younger. We had a huge fishing Warf with little boat docks all around. We used to crawl under the dock, almost like a Camp. One day we were clearing rocks from our little Dock Fort and we found a nest of these Spiders. They were HUGE and nasty. I don't even mind spiders, but these things were like Werewolf Spiders lol and like in the story they poured out of the nest when we disturbed it. We barely had standing room so we were crouched down and sometimes crawling in the wave of spiders.They were Crawling on us and attaching themselves to us. We all got out and Striped down to our underwear lol no bites at all though. The worst part was when I had to grab one off me, the thickness of it's body and strength in it's legs was horrifying. I couldn't imagine being in the water when that happened, complete panic mode lol.

      I'm having trouble processing that.

    As soon as I had seen that spider on the ladder of the dock, I would swam back to camp!

    Growing up in NW New Jersey, those spiders were the bane of my child hood. Every dock, rock wall or similar shelter had these spiders. Despite living several homes away from the lake, found one in the shower. 45 years later I still open showers cautiously.

    That is surprisingly wholesome. Nice that nobody died, I really thought they'd drown while trying to combat the spiders.

      I thought for sure one of them was gonna hit their head and drown or panic and drown or get bitten hundreds of times and die of spider venom. Such a relief that they're just traumatized lmao
