Bed bugs...that would suck.
I know the feeling well, living here with king browns, taipans, death adders, black snakes, tigers and more. The most venomous snake on the planet, the inland taipan or fierce snake lives not that far from where I am. Fortunately it is very shy and will avoid a confrontation unlike a tiger snake which has real attitude. I always keep a snake bite kit handy.I throw my lot in with the folks with snakes, grew up dealing with rattlers. But mambas and fleur de lance are the ones that haunt my sleep, had close calls with all.
Fingers crossed those days are behind me.

@Skinnersblade
At least spiders have a use tho mate.
Can't think of a use for the other thing you mentioned.

Yeah I don't mind spidies, except the Sydney funnelweb, nasty little mongrels. Orb spiders are beautiful, huntsmen are the athletes of the arachnid world and common on the house walls up here in Queensland. In NZ there are whitetails, redbacks (imported from Oz), black widows afaik, and the native Katipo which lives in the sand dunes but in over 50 years I've never seen one. Arachnids are not my favourites but I don't bother them and they don't bother me. Cheers@RandyF

@Skinnersbladethat’s not true at all you’ve said on here atleast a dozen times that they’d make adequate tomato stakes.
Except when you go out in the dark to shake the sheriff and stand on one. My daughter did a trip outside in the dark for similar reasons and got bit but luckily it was a small python. Gave her a fright and she then bought a torch the size of a lighthouse.@Cervus elaphas
Mate I keep a snake kit handy around camp all the time. A 12 GAUGE SHOT GUN. That way you don't need a bite kit.

I would have done the same thing, with a 44 .... pounderTo the above, since bears have come up, my frequent hunting partner, and the pastor of our church... bears scare him not in the least. I was there one night when he killed a belligerent one... in the dark... in a driving rain... with his .44... in nothing but his underwear. And I guarantee it never crossed his mind that there was any reason to worry. It was an adult too, a bit over 8 feet and fat from eating fish all summer. Still one of the craziest things I've ever witnessed.

@SkinnersbladeDads having another rough night @Bob Nelson 35Whelen been up with him.
Once saw a movie we’re one of your mates turned a Mexican into one of the goannas bob, I just hope the rest of you blokes have a better sense of direction then Wally.@Cervus elaphas
That's why I keep a piss bottle in the tent.
If you want to see the shit hit the fan, throw a goanna into ya mates tent and zip it up. Stand back and watch the comedy show and see if you can still stand while laughing your guts out.
Bob
Not tonight bob he’s just gotten to sleep and it would probably wake him. Plus I want to stay in earshot just in case
