It is the 2 legged critters that are most concerning.

    Now you want a deadly place? The coastal regions of OZ contain all manner of critters that can kill you, even the tiny blue ring octopus, among many others.
    I don't know. Put me in an old growth forest with bears, wolves, and cougars and i'd still have more peace of mind than walking in knee deep swamp water surrounded by tall grass hiding venomous snakes and alligators.

    I spent a lot of quality army training time in the swamps in northern Florida. Sometimes it was so dark we had to hold onto each other as we moved.

    Call me loopy but I ask to share their home as I pass through in peace. How you walk is important, you have to pay attention to where you walk and not thrash blindly through the thick stuff. A good sized walking stick or a staff is even better, probe sketchy areas for bottom hazards and to give critters an advanced warning. As long as I got bug dope and a light (used sparingly, only when needed) I am good to go.

    Most of the swamp critters avoided us. We were moving around in platoon sized elements- so around 48 people give or take. A couple of guys had snakes end up cozying up them at night- we did get some time to sleep.

    A couple of guys were bit by spiders.
