He cuts an “X” over the wound with his knife and attempts to suck out the poison. See it’s not enough, he rides then runs all night to carry Mattie to a doctor. She loses her arm but survives.  The snakebite and the cut. Two dots and an X.

I’d been to Zihuatanejo with them back in 2019 before The Great and Useless Evil put the kibosh on my nonprofit trips for a while. Prior to that, I’d traveled with them to Haiti and Belize.

It took me staring down the barrel of 40 (and a great deal on airfare) to make it finally happen, but finally happen it did. On the way there, I had an overnight layover in London but decided to spend the night closer to Heathrow in Windsor, England (not recommended unless you’re hot for the royal family or private school lads). The next day, I arrived in Reykjavik around 10:30...]]></description><link>https://www.snakebit-provisions.co/post/iceland-2025</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8db9d45a2a910e1d867673</guid><category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2025 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>SP</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scandinavia 2024]]></title><description><![CDATA[The last time I left the country was the fall of 2019 when I went to Romania to make a video for a missionary organization. One of the many things covid interfered with was my travel momentum; first not being able to travel, and then not feeling confident about it. I spent 2023 wandering around the U.S., but at this point, “travel” equals international travel. After finding a good deal on airfare last summer, I planned a 10-day trip for March of 2024. My friend Daniel is a fantastic...]]></description><link>https://www.snakebit-provisions.co/post/scandinavia-2024</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8dbb4d28d0cf71ca02f6e5</guid><category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jul 2024 16:00:37 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>SP</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[STORM CHASING 2023]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tagging along with my college-friend-turned-storm-chaser Lisa, I got to see and shoot my first tornado near Austin, Texas in April of last year.
