That’s why I always carry a flashlight, a moisture meter and a 16 gauge shotgun with me when I go into a crawlspace.

I recommend ear plugs and a set of ear muffs . Even then you touch that 16 guage off and you will hear bells for days or maybe even worse hear nothing . Been there done that now tone deaf do not hear the phone ring.

And what do you do when you approach a biggie like this one?
Do you skip this room entirely?

David,
Here are some pointers for that one.
Don’t move around like a small animal.
Don’t turn your back.
Keep your lucky rabbits foot in your pocket.
Remove the feathers from your cap.
Keep a Bowie knife clamped between your teeth just in case.
Or just call Steve Irwin. Whatever works out best.

I saw some big ones on Colo. Glad they don't wear their coats, up here in Idaho. John, you must work like an old 'Nam Tunnel Rat in some of those crawls . . .

The .40 stays in the truck during crawls.

Yep, I’ve kinda taken a liking to the .40-
It’s hard to find something that can endear me as much as my Para-Ordnance (14 + 1) Model 14/45, but that .40 is a bit lighter & still reaches out as far as 100yds when needed.

I agree Russ, I cut my teeth on the Colt 1911 but the .40 sure shoots a hell of a lot better.

Ya, no poisonous snakes are supposed to be in Maine.
So they've replaced them with about 23,000 of these.

Which would you rather face with nothing but a stick in your hands??
(Big Game Guns aren't fair for this one.)
Joke Ahead!
Two guys are out hiking (wearing hiking boots of course). All of a sudden, a bear starts chasing them.
They climb a tree, but the bear starts climbing up the tree after them. The first guy gets his sneakers out of his knapsack and starts putting them on.
The second guy says, "What are you doing?"
He says, "I figure when the bear gets close to us, we'll jump down and make a run for it."
The second guy says, "Are you crazy? You can't outrun a bear."
The first guy says, "I don't have to outrun the bear. I only have to outrun you."

Speaking of bears, we have about 40 Griz in this part of the country.
Thankfully, they don’t seem to visit crawlspaces . . .
