    Love the responsible manner that you handle your snakes and that you're always aware where the pointy end is going. You need your own show! So informative and so many good points in all of your videos. I love turning one on during my lunch hour and learning a thing or two about wild life.

    I remember old snakebite kits that had a scalpel and potasium permangamate solution to pour on the bite.

    99% of the time I am in the bush alone . Most people assume that there will be someone to administer first aid to the person injured . Practice of self bandaging for snake bite and wounds would make life easier if things go pear shaped. Most of the times I see a snake is when I am quietly having a cuppa in the bush and one decides to come through camp . I always learn from your vids , thanks .

    Thanks for the excellent work put into your very good channel. Many others mention how underrated it is and say it should have more subscribers and views, and while I want to see the channel continue and thrive I have less faith in tastes of the general public. What's popular in terms of subscription numbers and views is not always (I would argue not often) what is actually a video or channel of high quality. At any rate, here's hoping that they're right this time and the momentum keeps building for you and your work!

    As a medical professional we don't release the tourniquet every 15min. If someone has a significant injury (arterial bleed from shark bite etc) we leave the tourniquet in place. Why? Releasing it means we might not be able to tighten it up again. Protocol now is leave it on. Life before limb.

      ​@@Helping.Homless1988 Sorry, but I don't find his reply confusing at all. It's quite plain to me - tourniquet for serious bleeding, pressure bandage for envenomation. Don't remove or release either until you reach proper medical attention.

    One more first aid advice I would like to add is if you are bitten (or stung by a bug) and you're not alone, tell everyone! I know that sounds a bit weird but many people have gotten into real trouble because they didn't speak up about it straight away. Great video Mate 🙂

    We were in Alice Springs in 2015.We went to the reptile museum and they said that while Australia had the most venomous snakes,they have very small teeth whereby if you wore thick boots and thick leg cover you would most likely not suffer a fatal bite. Yes??

    Hey mate, just started watching your videos. Just curious as to how you catch your snakes (especially the venomous ones). I live on a property and have been catching and handling snakes for some time. Never really had the guts to be so relaxed around venomous ones though. I generally get browns, tigers, and red bellies behind the head. How do you catch and calm down your snakes?

    • @jodyknight

      I've heard that the title refers to its venom and not it's temperament. But for its prey, it's pretty hard core. The native rodents it hunts are very quick, so it needs to invenomate them and kill them very quickly or it might not find another prey for weeks.
