CORRECTION ON SNAKE BITES:  Around the 21:42 mark we discussed what to do if you get bit by a rattlesnake.  After explaining that you should seek immediate medical attention, we also mentioned the use of a tourniquet and mechanical suction if you can't get to a hospital.  Many of our amazing listeners have called the show or sent us emails correcting us on this.  According to the Wilderness Medical Society Practice Guidelines, both methods of treating snake bites are not recommended.  You can learn more about the proper ways to treat snake bites here.
