Web on, web off.
Off please. We’ve all walked through a web. Here are a few tips to get through it: Well, you already went through it, but...
🕸️ Try to stay in the center of the trail. Webs are more likely to be found near bushes, trees, and other vegetation. Staying in the middle can help reduce the risk of walking into one.
🕸️ Use a stick. Wave a hiking stick or trekking pole in front of you as you walk to catch any webs before you walk into them. Let’s not go all Jedi Knight first day with a new lightsaber, but use it only as needed. Also, say you’re sorry. Manners.
🕸️ Wear a hat. Wearing a hat with a brim can help catch webs before they reach your face. If a spider decides to hitch a ride without notice, you have permission to cancel the ride and let them off at a convenient location without your star rating being affected.
🕸️ Walk slowly and carefully. Take your time while walking on the trail to avoid quickly running into webs, squirrels, bears, hikers, other dimensions—you name it.
🕸️ Avoid walking at dawn or dusk. Spiders are more active during these times, so consider hiking during the middle of the day to reduce the risk of encountering them. So, in essence, sleep in sometimes.
