Well well well its our friend from the east. Snakes are easy to deal with. If you see them just leave them be and go around them. For added safety just carry a long forked walking stick to prod them out of the way. Just remember if you actually kill one to step on its head and cut it off as close to the head as possible. Then either bury it or cover it with a rock or something. In the off chance someone or their dog comes sniffing along the head can still strike. Look up snake strike reflex.

I'm scared of mothballs. Dilema
Ha ha, it took me several days to figure out the solution. Firstly you need to wear leather boots or galoshes. Secondly you'd better buy a rubber gloves when you need to use your hands, such as picking up blocks or something which you need to do it by hands. Then buy some snake repellent on Amazon and sprinkle a little on your pants or clothes, the snakes use Jacobsen Organ system to detect smells. When snakes smell the repellent, they will stay away from it.Thirdly buy some emergency medicines and take them when you’re traversing the forests. I think it necessary to take a modified injector, it can suck the venom.
Finally, get a dog and let it accompany you, dogs usually have an astute observation. It can tell you the surroundings.

Wow, you have a good memory. East or west, cannabis is the best, right? Ha ha.
Actually you have little chance of being bitten by snakes. However, most people are afraid of them, especially when you are in the mountains, you can't get rescued within one or two hours, that's definitely a deadly snakebite. And I have heard a guy in my town who was bitten by a snake during the night fishing, when he was found the next day, his corpse even became green, that story really makes me feel so frightened.

I went out just this past week in the forest... scared 3 of them, I know because they took off slithering into the woods away from me. Which also scared the shit out of me.
I wear jeans and boots that are about 10 inches high, and always carry a hatchet or 8inch knife with me.
The key to all of it is prepare for the worst case scenario i.e.. If i was to get bit I would grab/step on/ whatever the snake then cut its head off. Drop everything where it is and calmly as possible walk out of the forest to my vehicle and go straight to the ER/hospital. They have anti-venoms that will cover snakesin the area. And the head of it will help identify what kind of snake it is.
I agree scary as hell but the key is trying to watch where you step and up ahead of you. Stepping on their tail will all but garuantee a strike.

For me, it's not easy to down the hills so what you said 'Prepare for the worst case scenario' is right. Well, my clones are growing rapidly, but the weather outdoors is frustrating. It is said that the strongest El Nino is coming this year, even said it's the severest one of the past two decades, and I don't whether it will have enough sunny days for my plants.

I wouldn't worry too much about that, weather predictions are often wrong or not as bad as they think it will be. Plus the plants can still get plenty of energy through the clouds.
