    That’s what I like a bit less about being the first hiker to walk the trail in the morning.

      Carry a 3 foot stick, and wave it up and down in front of you. That’s what I have to do on this trail I hike that doesn’t get many hikers on it. I’m pretty sure I’m the only person that hikes it, and there are golden orb weavers everywhere.

        Yeah, I usually start hoping I won’t need it but after hitting a few sticky webs I grab a stick and start waving it in front of me. But then I don’t go low enough or do a bad job and catch a few more with my legs or my head. Sometimes I just kind of forget and start using it as a walking stick only to be reminded why I was carrying it in the first place.

        It works, but its effectiveness varies.

      Then get up at a reasonable hour, you freaking psychopath, lol. Early birds are the worst.
