My cousin always posts about how he'd be loyal to you forever but if you cross him he'll kill you. Usually it's text on top of pictures of skulls or bugs bunny with a gun so you know he's serious.

Looking at you, hikers in Arizona... Leave them the fuck alone you fucking goons!

If not friend why friend shaped? /S

Seriously though keep your distance from critters, if you don't it's a fast way to turn an awesome day out into thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of dollars in emergency medical bills.

I'm from the PNW and people get way too close to critters on trails all the time.

I can't vouch for this, but I heard once from someone who claimed to be an expert that the majority of snake bites occur on the hand or lower arm, not the leg, and that the majority of snake bite victims were found to be intoxicated at the time.

I'm other words, most snake bites happen because drunk idiots try to pick the little fuckers up.

Having hiked hundreds of times I've run across a few dozen rattle snakes, every single time it occurs while someone else is nearby, they're trying to snap a selfie with them.

It's bonkers because that just frightens the snakes. If I see one alone I just take a wide birth and they don't rattle.
