TerryYu Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I hate spiders that decide that it's a good idea to weave gigantic webs at face level in our national park system! There's no terror like running into one of these uberwebs and having a gigantic spider on your face in the dark and both of you are freaking out!

sdm74 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Im a land surveyor and its one of the worst things. I find a long skinny twig and just swipe it up and down in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The gigantic Banana Spiders and the web they spin is the worst. I mean I've seen the webs stretch over 10' before....then you get tangled up in it, and it's like sticky, stretchy, yellow snot....gets in your hair, mouth, eyes....and almost impossible to peel off.....and it doesn't taste good either.

SiG Lady Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 "I find a long skinny twig and just swipe it up and down in front of me." I began doing this routinely long ago when in the brush or the woods. Works great. Saves a lot of freaked-out adrenalin dumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankl03 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The property where I hunt has big spider webs. While I'm not afraid of spiders they do give me the creeps. I hate running into those webs in the woods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaterHead Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I've smashed quite a few sunglasses getting them off my face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryYu Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 What's worse is when you're freaking out and basically punching yourself in the face, the spider is also freaking out and jumps onto your arm so then you're punching yourself in the face with the spider!
