Close encounters

On year 9 camp down at Mitchell River, there was a wombat that was spotted by the bloke at the back of our group as we walked away from base camp. Everyone rushed back to our tents to try and protect our food. I opened up my tent to find a wombat sized thing in the door. Proceeded to scream and absolutely shit my pants. Never have been so close to a cardiac arrest.

It was a wild adidas bag...

If you read my story, it was when I was 5 actually. And I had an encounter with a venomous snake, not a bag.

What a tough guy.

If I knew it was a bag, I wouldn't have done anything.

Piss off.

Just can't see how you could think a bag was a wombat. Anyway I'll stop embarrassing you.

Lel. Calm down mate. Stop calling me a keyboard warrior when you are doing the same. I'll leave it at this as this is unnecessary.

Anyone got anymore wild bag stories?

Okay mate. :rolleyes::$:drunk:

You were quite attacking when you were defending yourself. Anyway, I'm ignoring any more of your posts about this. Have a good night

Good. You start the bullshit attack, have it your way.
 
1. Rode over a tiger snake lying across a track in the middle of the bush on a Mt Bike.




2. Riding along in the middle of nowhere on racing bike when I approach a property.

Old matey's German Shepherd and Doberman off the lead baking in the sun.

German S decides to casually get up and come have a look at me. Walks then trots around the back of me and then does the snarl that means 'I don't like the look of your ****ing ankle campaigner' and decides to growl and bark.

Stupidly I decide to sprint off and German S increases the sprint and before I know it I am doing 30 km/hr with him in full gallop at my rear wheel.

Look up and I have about 100 m left of straight road before the 'S' bend and I will need to slow down a tad. Ramp up the legs a little bit more and he keeps up with me...I am doomed to have this thing bite me.

Out of the blue he lets out one last growl and drops off about 50 m before the S bend.

I keep a solid pace until finally I can see him over the top of the S bend looking at me panting.

I rode home and got my car and drove back there. No one home and the dogs had gone.

Been attacked by a dog on 2 separate occasions

Came within a foot of a tiger snake that was sneaking up behind me until I heard it.

Had a giant centipede in my bed. Not really deadly but I hate those things.
 
Was at my parents house one night last year. Was late at night, dad was at work and mum was in her bedroom watching TV. Was in my room, heard my dog barking quite loudly. He usually barks over nothing, but noticed it had a different tone to it, so decided to go check. Stood at the front screen door, which had a massive hole in the fly-wire at the bottom. Stood at the door for about a minute, but didn't bother turning the outside light on for some reason, so I couldn't see anything. The dog had stopped barking and was just staring at me, so walked off, leaving the big front door open as it was in the middle of summer.

Then I could hear a sound, and the dog started barking again quite frantically, and was pouncing back and forth right on the door ledge. Went back, turned the light on, and saw a furious tiger snake about to poke its head through the hole in the fly wire. Jumped back, slammed the big door and went to get mum, as I'd never really encountered a snake before and she had.

We decided to try and get the dog inside somehow, so he didn't get bitten. Went through the back door and called him through. Then went out, found a shovel, and approached the front door. The snake was coiled up in between the big door and the screen door, so I wasn't able to get a clean shot on him. Had to get mum to slowly pull the screen door open and then throw a rock at him. She hit the snake fair in the head with the rock, and he arched up and started hissing very loudly. Donged him on the head a few times and that was the end of our troubles.

Doesn't sound that bad, I guess the close encounter part was me standing at the front door wondering what the dog was barking at for like a minute when there was a snake at my feet without me knowing. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.

Credit to my dog, twice now he's found a snake very close to our front door, alerted us, then stayed right back while we dealt with it.

Puked in my sleep and survived, twice.

Many years ago, late 80s, I attended an 18th here in remote WA. Around 1am, I decided to walk home. I wasn't familiar with the town and I was skirting from house to house, I was lost.

I walked through the yard of one house and there was an old trampoline sitting there. I decided to climb up and have a snooze on it.

Whilst I was sleeping, there was a very localised and heavy cloud burst.

I woke up as I was inhaling my second lungfull of water.

i puked and was none the worse for wear. Thinking about it later, I thought that I'd be a good candidate for the Darwin Awards if I drowned.
 
Nothing too close. I've been in the water when a shark spotting plane has sounded the siren to return to shore. That makes you swim bloody quick.

Walking around the forest in bear season is always interesting. I've seen a few from a distance. You just make noise and the keep to themselves. There are sightings around my neighborhood regularly. Was walking to the supermarket once, turned the corner a big black bear was trying to cross the street. Fortunately traffic was busy so he turned back into the forest. I've also seen a number of coyotes in the forest and around my neighborhood. Got to make sure my dog doesn't get too far out of sight.
 
Woke up one morning while camping in Darwin, went to take a piss and almost stepped on this King Brown. Had no idea until someone pointed it out to me.
