Spidey Senses
I once took a kayaking trip on The Devil’s River. We had to spend the second night on a limestone rock island thing. I had used my light to get to my dry sack and had seen all the green glowing eyes EVERYWHERE. So I unpacked and slept by the fire.
I had even warned everyone, “Guys, we’ve got a ton of spiders on this rock..” They were all too intoxicated to care.
The next morning, one guy who was also oblivious to his condition because he was pretty hungover, and also had no mirrors, woke up to a shocking new development—he had been feasted on by these little wolf spiders. Imagine sleeping in an ant nest, but with spiders.
We have a small three-mile trek on the river before we are done. Somewhere along mile two, he paddles up next to me. He asked one simple question. “You’re the only guy out here with common sense on this stuff, how bad does it look?”
My only reply was, “I wish we just turned the corner and there was some kind of hospital on this river…so I could take you there…because you need it…badly.” He was not amused by this comment, to say the least… Story Credit: Reddit/reed5point0
