This guy is at least a full bubble off of plumb, but very entertaining.

I prefer ferrets, though they can bite, too.

His picking up and holding a great bunch of snakes at a time would seem a bit vainglorious for someone who just happened to have a bag of ferreting nets. Surely he'd have a bag for snakes as well. I noticed one snake was using another one as a launching pad to strike at him and, done often enough, my money would be on the snake. In a survival situation, the safer, energy-conserving option would be to kill the snake and eat it.

As to the water, the added ingredient is fluoride. It is put in town supplies to fight tooth decay because Australian water lacks the natural occurrence apparently found in Europe and America. It really works: coming from the country, I have a mouth full of fillings but my 'little' sister, who grew up with fluoride, has none that I know of. People with some rare condition needing enormous amounts of water might be advised to have their own supply but in the 40 years I've drunk fluoridated water, I have never met one.

In Queensland, however, nay-sayers believe fluoride is more dangerous than a mouthful of mercury and many cities are ceasing to use it. This may not save Andrew Ucles, though, as I understand he comes from NSW.

Some water might have helped dilute whatever chemical imbalance Mr Ucles had introduced into himself before coming on camera.

Something not quite right about that lad's risk management.

Good survival advice. Catch a rabbit by first catching a venomous snake. What a wanka

G'Day Fella's,

Bill, we have a way of describing people like that in Australia, we refer to them as "T.A.'s"!
Thats short for "Temporary Australians"!

Before this latest T.A. , we had another T.A. called "The Crocodile Hunter"!

As I said, just another T.A.!!!
Doh!
Homer

Yeah! Poor Steve, He should have slapped on more sunscreen, it protects you from harmful rays..

"Temporary resident"

By the look of him, Very Temporary.

So, do you reckon his advice is not dinkum?? Or "proper," as it is said over here.

A few roo's in the top paddock I'd say.

I think he's been drinking the Kool-aid from some political organisations we have here. Nothing else could be as virulent.
