Rattlesnakes fighting sounds like something I'd want to watch from a distance.

I don't think they were fighting.

Here's a link to an Obed River video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wZ7PVM ... RiverKings

This part of TN is wild and seldom seen. I've paddled this river; swam a bunch. Slide to min 34 to see a view of the area above the river. For wild, the Catoosa Wildlife Management area kicks the Smoky's butt. Mts not as high, but no crowds. I shouldn't be telling this. Don't want it turned touristy.
The white water people are freaks. Some steep creeks are only floatable in flood stage; usually during horrible weather. Doesn't seem to matter. Last time i flew out of a boat in that water, i noticed chunks of ice floating with me. Too scary to notice the cold until later. Access to such rivers is usually rough, with plenty of hauling. You really have to love it to get into a hobby like this.

Zoologists refer to the "Four Fs" - Fighting, fleeing, feeding, and sex.
If you're not on edge, you're taking up too much space.

I've stumbled upon snake sex several times.
It's disturbingly erotic.
The % of their body surfaces in contact make the human version look tame.
They get so 'wrapped up' in it, they don't notice intrusions like me.
But the second it's over, off they go in separate ways, once again fearful and shy.

a few things to share from recent:

mini-tornado came through and took down a ancient sycamore directly in front of our shack, at creeks edge. It's 18' in diameter, 4' above the ground. stump is hollow and big enough for a kid's fort or hide-out. Sad, although the tree lives on with a trunk spared.

discovered a plant i knew not; a climbing stinging nettles. a vine, with a stingy aspect stronger than regular nettles.
Interested in this plant for the sting but also as food, should shtf. No one else in the county will know this plant, most likely, or see it as food. Stinging nettles are abnormally nutritious and up to 20% protein, dry weight.
cooking kills the sting. This stinging, climbing version of nettles is called 'short spike noseburn'. i been going to it everyday to get stung. (Old wive's arthritis thing. I do it for the placebo effect ad the hike.)

I showed a friend yesterday. he didn't want to get stung, as male pals do, i called him a pussy and tried to shame himby dropping my pants are twerking my naked butt in the stuff. It was bold and dumb. However, in the name of science, i must report:It didn't burn my butt. never felt it. yet my hands were sreaming from handling the vine.
curious, i thought. went back today (alone) and thrashed the stuff on my dick. I really did. Sparky, i have no hard evidence. but i would do it again, on camera, with witnesses.

maybe some of you have encountered stinging nettles. would you have guessed that it doesn't sting your ass or penis?
or is it just mine? and why?

"short spike noseburn" is a great name for a ganster rapper.
my new dog got his nose in it. funny stuff. delayed reaction. Hence the name?

will this paste?

mini-tornado came through and took down a ancient sycamore directly in front of our shack, at creeks edge. It's 18' in diameter, 4' above the ground. stump is hollow and big enough for a kid's fort or hide-out. Sad, although the tree lives on with a trunk spared.

discovered a plant i knew not; a climbing stinging nettles. a vine, with a stingy aspect stronger than regular nettles.
Interested in this plant for the sting but also as food, should shtf. No one else in the county will know this plant, most likely, or see it as food. Stinging nettles are abnormally nutritious and up to 20% protein, dry weight.
cooking kills the sting. This stinging, climbing version of nettles is called 'short spike noseburn'. i been going to it everyday to get stung. (Old wive's arthritis thing. I do it for the placebo effect ad the hike.)

I showed a friend yesterday. he didn't want to get stung, as male pals do, i called him a pussy and tried to shame himby dropping my pants are twerking my naked butt in the stuff. It was bold and dumb. However, in the name of science, i must report:It didn't burn my butt. never felt it. yet my hands were sreaming from handling the vine.
curious, i thought. went back today (alone) and thrashed the stuff on my dick. I really did. Sparky, i have no hard evidence. but i would do it again, on camera, with witnesses.

maybe some of you have encountered stinging nettles. would you have guessed that it doesn't sting your ass or penis?
or is it just mine? and why?

"short spike noseburn" is a great name for a ganster rapper.
my new dog got his nose in it. funny stuff. delayed reaction. Hence the name?

will this paste?

looks just like stinging nettles with tendrils and climbing vines.
there's a pic here:

there's quite an array of nettles on your link, with all manner of looks.
they're more intensely green than most plants and somewhat stick out in the under-story here, because of that.

just saw a skunk walking up to my room. it's dark out. they're nocturnal. hope the new pups don't see it.
they're 4 months old. took them to vet today for shots. they weigh 36 and 34lbs. we're concerned that they may get huge. they love hiking in the woods with me. they're made for these steep hills. 4 legs, claws for traction.
the hills here aren't very tall. but they're rugged and steep, with about 450' of relief between the bottoms and the ridges. being an old broke fart now makes hiking a challenge. it's a young man's world. or a woman who's become a man.

(didn't want to sound sexist or exclusive. women can do it all...make a baby human; become a man; be president; whatever.)
