I had never known this term before either, until Cindy told me to use a long tree branch to knock the big spider webs out of our paths leading to the springs we were looking for. She called them: "Spider Stiks"-!Originally Posted by JE
Just thought I would pass this on .

It's a discription of use Jack! LOL, they keep the spiders from hitting you in the face! You thought I was joking when I asked if you had one didn't you? You noticed the machette. It's not just for brush.
Other usual ridge walking gear that you didn't see because I didn't take my pack for our short walk:
GPS
Marking tape
Maps, pen and compass
Water
Snacks that don't melt
Clean shirt
Extra contact and sunglasses
Hat and bug spray
Rain coat and pants
A cheap light
Cell phone and small first aid kit
Lots and Lots of water
Oh, and TP
There is a story for every item I carry. Darn if I don't need every item if I forget them! Cindy![]()

I used to do a lot of hicking and biking on trails in the N FL woods. I would just carry a stick in front of me at face level most of the time, I HATE getting spiders or their webs on my FACE - eew!

Good list. I always add a container of chiggaway-nothing worse than red bug infestation.
