If you carry it on your person and use it IMMEDIATELY (within one minute) it will probably remove some poison. After 3 or 4 minutes the amount of poison removed will be minimal and the extreme suction will probably cause some local necrosis. I used it on a copperhead bite (mine) after 5 minutes and it appears to have done little except I now have a 1/2" diameter blood blister on one puncture mark and will likely loose some skin there.

As others have said this kit does not contain a bore snake. Still there are plenty of brushes and extensions to handle anything from .223 to 12 ga. I have cleaned a .45 acp handgun and a .330 win mag rifle in the same sitting with it. The only thing you will need to purchase are additional patches as they run out real quick.

I don't know about Sawyers. This stuff is great and safe for you and pets once it is dry. It can be used on anything. I used it on furniture, walls, wood floors, carpet and much more. I added a residual product called zylar and never had a pest problem since.

If you are looking for a hoppe's viper snake then this one is made for that caliber: http://www.amazon.com/Hoppes-24003V-BoreSnake-Revolver-Cleaner/dp/B006THNYVK/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1418615995&sr=1-1&keywords=24003&pebp=1418615999147

I wouldn't think so. They're pretty tough, but something sharp could puncture them. Seeing as how fangs are meant to go through skin and hide, I wouldn't trust them.

Hi, I can tell you much about the nite core, but you can check out plenty of video reviews on you tube. After watching several you tube reviews with an acquaintance that is part of the special forces working in central america antinarcotics team, he decided to buy one through my account. We tested it here prior to him returning to central america. There are creeks and water passage ways that he required a small portable light to see what was up ahead and after testing it he said it was what he need. So far it has not failed him, but as I mentioned check out you tube just type nitecore tm26

We do not have chiggers here that I know of. I have not tried it on mosquitoes or chiggers.

Pretty much what I did last year. Haven't seen any snakes. I had driven copperheads out from under cabin and deck with mothballs and used product in follow-up when impressed by initial effect.

An analog of this stuff which is sold in Russia is safe. This one we have not tried yet due to end of mosquito season (just got it). Will see next summer

Sawyer recommends using the syringe. I have not tried what you are asking but I don't think the bag can create that much pressure.

I live in the jungles of central america and we have the Brazilian wandering spider, the deadliest in the world. I have not used it on those, but the next one that gets in, I will. I bought this specifically for clowns and so far it keeps them away.

I'm sorry, but I tried to look through as many descriptions and comments as I could stand, but could not find your answer. You may try contacting BlizeTec directly to ask. Good luck. I love my knife and have been carrying it everyday since I bought it. Luckily I haven't had an emergency or self-defense episode to use it like that yet, but it's comforting knowing it's there, ready for an extremely quick draw (which I practice on occasion) and such a sturdy feel. I've cut open a couple of boxes with the blade and cut off some tags of new clothes with the seatbelt cutter and love it. The seatbelt cutter eliminates the possibility of accidents like cutting a hole through clothes or stabbing someone or yourself in the stomach. This knife rocks! good luck to you

We bought them for recluse spiders but a black rat snake decided to go into one. Yes, he probably could have gotten away with his head still stuck in the box, but I saw him and shut the door to the tiny room. The good thing is more than likely, any snake will have his head stuck in the box like mine. Did I just call a snake mine??? Having its head caught in the box means no ability to bite, making removal way less stressful for those who get skeeved by snakes. My (just said it again) snake was the girth of a roll of quarters and 2 feet long.

Yes, I also Have a Crossbow "Bowtech Stryker ". The Gorilla Shooting Stick will work Awesome as it is one Sturdy Tool in your stalking and ground game for Whitetails. I will not hunt without it.

If this axe and a lot of spare time was all you had and you needed a dugout canoe really bad, sure. FYI the tools used by native tribes to do this kind of work are designed to do a much better job than anything Gerber has ever made. The south pacific peoples have been digging out canoes for a few hundred thousand years that we know of, in that time they have perfected the process and tools to do the job. USE WHAT THEY USE! good luck.

It does catch them and kill them. The key is to get the correct kind of "bait" for the target insect. I've quit using ours because it would get the large mosquitos, but not the Asian Tigers. Different bait for those. I did find very, very tiny dead things in the trap, which I figured were the no-see-ums. But what finally did me in was the propane. A full tank didn't last more than 20 days and it's too much bother and cost for me. I went back to using OFF on my skin.
