We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who decided to make the leap from living the city life to an off-grid homestead. We have no training in carpentry or electrical work. We've come armed only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
Join us on our journey to move beyond a sustainable lifestyle into a regenerative one. We chose to live in the desert because we love the location and we wanted the challenge of bringing this desert landscape into productive abundance.
I'm actually a reptile enthusiast. I will say a very well done video. I learned a lot about the species. Thank you!
Thanks for being kind to it. If you're open to instruction, the tool you're using should be used mid-body, not at the neck or head.
We put one inch by 2 inch wire around our Greenhouse I am wondering if we should also put up quarter inch wire as well at the bottom of the greenhouse. We had two snakes come for a visit.
We are definitely open to instruction. So, will that harm the snake going around the neck? We always heard they should be secured there.
@@ourselfreliantlife Great! Yes, it can injure or even kill the snake to grab it by the neck. It's a common practice so no doubt you're just following what others have instructed. They should be picked up mid-body, using just enough force to hold the snake in place. I train to use 2 hands - one to grip, one to lift, so that there is not a lever-force applied to the snake. If done correctly, the snake most often doesn't even struggle and it's safer for everyone involved.
@@RattlesnakeSolutions- good info! I never knew this either.
@@chadorico2480Grasping them at the neck isn't the problem. Lifting from the neck alone can really injure them. Snakes are surprisingly fragile!
Our ten years of Sonora desert life taught us that rattle snake dens throw off a unique, identifiable odor - much like stale urine/dirty diapers and more noticeable in higher heat. Start 'looking' for that when out & about and see if you too can smell them!
Really interesting, Mike! Thanks for that. I'm definitely going to keep that in mind when exploring.
Much appreciated, Sir!🙏
It makes me wonder if one of your neighbors may be catching them and re-locating them at your place because you have such a welcoming spot below your trailer??? Yikes. Great video thanks!
Yikes! I hope not, but now you have me wondering!
Thanks. You helped me identify the snake I saw tonight.
Rattlers will return to a place they like, over and over. Might be best to carefully clean and cook those you find near your place. As a kid ,living in New Mexico we ate several kinds of snakes both poisonous and not. You just need to know how to clean them and cook without getting venom on or in you. They have tasty meat and most are not endangered and can become invasive and numerous. Thanks for the video, I always love to see them. Much love and respect, blessings. 🐉🦂
Thanks for the info Wilma! It's definitely not a bad idea to eliminate them if necessary. They can be very dangerous.
This video was so interesting. As much as i love to explore the desert im always aware aout snakes. I look foard for more videos. And amazing catch. and great advise.😀 And creating a habitat by your home is a snake bite injuy waiting to happen. As long as the habitit is far away from the house im ok with it. I enjoyed the video.
I think these are actually my favorite videos that you guys make! I have an irrational fear of snakes for the same reason most people do but to hear your experience with such a dangerous species...it kind of changed my paradigm. Got anything for black widow spiders? LOL!!
I can understand the irrational fear, especially with snakes. I'm glad we were able to help with the perspective a little bit. Maybe we will do something with black widows. We've dealt with enough of them.🙄😆
Thanks so much!🙏
Yay!!! So glad this series is back!! I had just found your channel right after you had to quitndoing these because of winter. My boys LOVED watching this!
That's fantastic! Did they like this one? Also, did you have to tell them not to try this at home?😂
Thanks Amber!🙏
@@ourselfreliantlife oh they definitely liked it! I think they're smart enough to not pick up snakes though haha!!
Hey Jim and Jess, good video but I don't share your catch-and-release, I got bitten in the leg when I was 16 years old in 1963. If it hadn't been for my dad and a few Mexican men that was working with us it probably would have killed me.
I've never seen my dad so calm and focused then at that time. He took off his shirt and tied it around my uper leg and with a stick he made it real tight. Then he cut open my leg where the snake had bitten me and started sucking the blood out.
I never lost consciousness but did feel tired and weak. We went to the Doctor and as he carried me in he said in a loud voice "snake bite" and everyone moved at once had me in a room with a needle in me so fast it didn't even hurt.
That snake was just over 6 feet long and it all most killed me so my motto to this day is "the only good snake is a dead snake".
Agree. Relocating them takes the deadly problem somewhere else...NIMBY. They are predators, kill other creatures including children & adults taking a walk or camping. They aren't the only thing that Roadrunners, coyotes, king snakes eat, so it's safer to kill it rather than take a chance that one of its other predators will before it kills again and repopulates. Whether its humans or a predator that kill it, its all from the animal species...humans are part of the animal species too.
Deadly snakes? No thanks. I'll stay up north with my snow :) Be safe you two!!!!
Thanks Dave! We'll definitely try. 🙏
Both of you have very soothing, calming voices. You 'strike' me (no pun intended) as very kind, gentle souls.
I love this series. I love listening to Jessica talk about the natural world there. You get a better feel on your environment. When I was a kid, I ran into a rattlesnake. Scared the crap out of me that I took off running. I ran straight into rusty barb wire and tore open my legs.
😬Sorry to hear about that. That sounded nasty. It's definitely good to learn about the native species around you. That can absolutely be handy.
Thanks Linda!!
Oh heck no! My snake tool is called a shotgun. I hate snakes to no end! Your mighty brave handling that thing alive. Be safe over there with those things. Have a great rest of the week!
Brave or foolish there's a fine line.😂You're shotgun has more reach than the grabber.
Better safe than sorry.👍
Thanks CB!🙏
Very informative. Thank you 👍🏼
I love your project you guys are great keep it up.😍😀😀
Beautiful mountains! Nooooooooooooo on the snake! Xoxoxo
Lol! Thanks Lori! We have those designs done. We'll try and send you them soon.👍
An educational upload dears..Have a beautiful day
😃Thank you so much!🙏
Lol, you know where I stand. Thanks for the video
Lol! That we do Warren.😂👍
I gave this video a thumbs up. I don't like snakes even a little bit but I don't run away from knowledge. Too many times it's what you don't know that will kill you. I'm a new subscriber and I will be binge watching your videos. Please be safe out there. I also live in Arizona. Knowledge is power.
Thanks Shirley and you're right! Often times it's what we don't know that can harm us.🙏
Aww. Henlo snake friend. I know you are scared. You are lucky because you found nice hoomans. Good luck with all your snake things. #snakelandia
It does feel like #snakelandia out here. Can we be the presidents of snakelandia?😃
Thanks Dalia!
I love snakes. Me and my friends used to snake hunt all the time back in school. I have come across a lot of copperheads on our homestead. When we first bought our homestead I was walking the untouched forest, (hehe overgrown untouched for probably 40-50 years.), I stopped and was just looking at everything. Looked down around my feet and to my surprise. A pygmy rattler less than 2 feet away curled up basking in the sun. A huge myth about all snakes is their aggressiveness. They will ALWAYS chose to run rather than attack. UNLESS, you step on them, startle them by stepping super close to them, or miss handle them. They will never chase you. (Except exotic breeds, Momba, and a handle full of African area breeds.) Love these videos guys. NPA in da HOUSE!!!
Thank you so much! You are absolutely right. It's really good to get that information out there and dispel some of those myths and fears.
Thanks for the great video
I avg. 2 per yr. Last 10 yrs. Lost 2 litters of pups to ant attack. Six half grown pups to stray dog attack, 5 grown dogs to coyoty and 3 dogs to rattlesnake bite. Northwest AZ is a deadly place for pets and can be very heartbreaking.
Thanks for the video.
Very good information Thank you for sharing
Thanks Bree!🙏
always a pleasure to watch you guys !! a very interesting and informative video !! 🐍👨🌾👌🎥✝
Thank you Simon!!🙏
Thankyou for releasing the snakes
Cool video! We have pigmy rattlers, copperheads, eastern rattlers, water moccasins, corals here. That’s why we always where snake boots! Lol
Whoa! That's a lot to deal with for sure. The snake boots must be a necessity then.
Thanks for stopping by.🙏
Great video! E-Chip here. As a kid growing up in Nevada, I and my brothers would catch snakes and lizards of all kinds and bring them home. Mom loved that! During high school days in AZ there was a rattler I would visit every afternoon for a time. Not so near the house as to be a problem, so we let him be. Kind of like a pet! Thanks!
Very interesting E-Chip! It's definitely best to give them space.
By "loved that" do you mean "hated that"?😁
Thanks so much for sharing that.🙏
Howdy Jess and Jim. Thank you for the information. So many people have no idea what to look out for. This really helps so many. I was born and raised here so I’m used to them. Just a little information, there are 6’ and a bit over western diamondbacks east of town. Another fact, I used to see a Gila monster at least 2’ long east of your place, towards the uphill area. I still have never witnessed a Gila monster that large. Be safe out there.
Years ago when my son was about 10, we lived out in the middle of the desert and he had trapped this gila monster inside an old consul TV set. Somehow he had got this Gila monster inside the cabinet with its legs tangled up in the wiring and it was over 2 feet long and it was very thick and it was very beautiful. It was really mad hissing and carrying on as I tried to release him it and it took quite awhile.
Great talk about rattlesnakes.👍
😃Thank you!
Thanks for all the information I still I say run run 🏃♀️✌️☮️👍❤️💐
That sounds like good advice, Brenda!
I miss the desert in February and March! I was stationed in Ft Irwin CA for three years
🤚🏼👊🏼😃❤️ Hey Friends. Stay safe out there. I used to have lots of diamond backs around my home when I was a teen. We always had to be on the look out. Great summary Jessica. Namaste 🙏🏼☮️
I try to stay aware of my surroundings whenever I'm outside... You just never know! Thank you, Jace!
We need to get us some of those rattler tongs! Multiple uses too! I can’t believe it didn’t even rattle when you picked it up! 😊👍 Really great video J/J!
Keep making these FOR ME! 😆
We'll keep doing them just for you Pam!!😃
Those tools are super handy over here for sure.
Rattlers are nothing nice to encounter by surprise. glad everyone is safe. Have a great day to you both.
Thanks so much Marlo!! Have you ever encountered dangerous creatures in one of your travels?
Green Dream Project i explored the desert a couple years ago.. (valley of fire, Nevada) and heard a rattle but did not venture closer.
Good morning jace Jacobs sent me your way... I enjoyed the video and looking forward to seeing more... thanks for sharing
Awesome!! Thank you so much!🙏
Be safe guys...clove oil, peppermint oil, lemon balm repel them. I mix it up in a sprayer and spray around the house and on the creek banks. I truely believe that's what sent our copperheads else where
Little Jordan Farm 🤚🏼👊🏼😃❤️ Very cool. I love essential oils. So many good uses. Great idea about making a spray. Namaste 🙏🏼☮️
You know Tammy that's good advice. I've seen store bought stuff that has similar oils, but making your own has to be better.
Thank you!🙏
Full watch and like # 2
😃Thank you!🙏
We have the Timber Rattlesnake in PA and their venom is pretty toxic too but nowhere near that of the Mojave Green.... Thos snakes are amazing
I like these videos, but then I like animals and plants soooo... :) When I was little we lived in North Dakota for 4 years there were rattle snakes. I don't remember the kind I was under 11 at the time an they scared me.Keeping sharing them and thanks for doing them.
Thanks so much for the encouraging words. We love these too. Maybe we just need better marketing. 😢
You are welcome. Well anyone watching an offgrid, homesteading channel should realize a person works with and around nature on a daily basis and these kind of things are common and really a necessity to learn. I have never understood people who think they can live in a world disconnected from the natural world. Once we(humans) are all gone(due to dying of natural causes or otherwise) nature will prevail without us. LOL . :)
I grew up in the Mojave desert in California. As teenagers we hunted Mojave greens for fun and had quite a collection of them in our home made snake pit.
Looking back , we were stupid!!
Make no mistake ,the Mojave green is very aggressive, they may not have been here with the folks shooting this video, but they are very aggressive and will stand their ground, more than any other rattle snake I’ve ever encountered, including diamondbacks, side winders, sand rattlers etc.
Respect the Green for sure!!!!
Great advice Jay! Any type of rattlesnake should be respected and people should keep their distance if at all possible.
Jim & Jessica, Awesome video! I appreciate the detailed information! I never knew about the Mojave Green until now. So, I have a quick question.... Was it rattling when you approached it? I encountered 2 rattlesnakes on a hike a few years back and neither of the snakes rattled when I approached them (and no, they were not sleeping)LOL!!!. I'm wondering if they are evolving and realizing that sometimes rattling may be to their advantage to not give their prey the early warning signal etc. hmmmm............Anyways, just curious about your circumstance. Its funny because I have the EXACT "snake grabber" or whatever you call it with the green handle hanging in my garage if I ever have another rattlesnake situation. We must do the same research because these looked the most "heavy duty"! Alright take care and look forward to your next video!
Great question Chad! It did not rattle. They really only do it if they really feel threatened. When we were there it was trying to get away. It didn't do anything when we tried to pick it up. It only rattled when we got it in the container. Yes, the heavier duty grabber the better.😆
Thanks so much!🙏
Be safe all times for sure , nice
Absolutely, Sir! Thank you!🙏
Hi, jar of poetry sent me here, im a good channel, have no fear
Awesome! Thank you so much! We'll have to check out your channel as well. 🙏
lol at the length of those snake grabbers 😆 Imagine being a snake with one of those comin' at you... doomed
Lol!! That's right! They ain't going nowhere. 🤣
Thanks so much!🙏
😂 I agree Mojave Green requires respect. ❤
Awesome video on rattlesnakes. Bet you never thought u would b catching those, lol
So good u got those poles. u will have to count how many u get this yr
We got four last year and we were only here for half a year. Let's see how many we get this year.😬
You want us to save you one?😂
@@ourselfreliantlife hey u bet, want to b a rattlesnake catcher, lol😃👍
If I ever come to visit, we'll have to look around a bit! Very cool! Great video!
Thank you Sir!!
Definitely keep a look out, but it seems you handle yourself pretty well with wildlife. 😃
Thanks for that video Jim and Jessica!! Great job it is so informative!!👍
Thanks so much Yvonne!🙏
Good information and great to watch!
😃Thank you!🙏
Ok snakes absolutely terrify me!! So I can't watch this one but wanted you to know I stopped by! Love y'all
😆No problem CG! We completely understand.🙏
Rattlesnakes eat the small rodents of the desert. Yea. And guinea hens for around your home. Cats will eat the rodents, and the guinea hens will drive off the snakes.
Wow !
Wow, it's taking off!! So excited for you! YIKES SNAKES!! rut roh oh my gosh you have him!! So sweet, you let him/her go! :D
Thanks Lisa!! Have to let them live if we can.🙏
Almost got bitten by one of those 3xs last summer in mid western Arizona... we have a very healthy infestation of them, the drab green ones. They are very aggressive!
Very good info! Thanks for sharing!
😃Thank you!🙏
I play with rattlesnakes. They are my friends. Good video. Thanks for doing the right thing. Please don't grab the snake by the neck with the tongs. The animal needs its' weight supported from the midsection. Otherwise death or injury might occur. Gentle Giant Tongs from Midwest Tongs have become the industry standard. The scissor-like tongs that you use are well known rib-breakers. A Snake hook works much better. Tongs should only be used as a last resort.
Thank you! Yes, we've had comments on this. We're working to better our techniques.
Very interesting and informative !- thanks
Thank you Mark! We appreciate that.🙏
thats some good information , but if I ever come to the southwest it will be in december. lol
Good info guys love your post.
I saw the intro and was expecting another “he will chase you down and bite you” videos but am very pleasantly surprised. I live where I’ve only seen two types of rattlesnakes, the little sidewinder and Mojave but with these two, I’ve never seen one who chased anybody or even stood ground. Your info is pretty much what I learned from the AZFG. I would go further by saying, the best way to handle a rattlesnake of any kind is to stop ✋ and let it retreat or redirect your route.
Just Watching now
Thanks Howie!!🙏
Good info. I agree that relocation is always great if possible.
Thank you very much! Agreed, we think it's better for the local environment.
Wow very informative! Thanks! We have had a rattle snake fall out of a tree right next to our brother a few years back. I'm not sure what kind it was but it was crazy!!
Whoa that does sound crazy. I'm used to looking down, but not up. Thanks for sharing that. 🙏
Good NPA guys. That would give me the creeps handling a snake with any size pole grabber. We ran into a Western Diamond Back while on a week long hike in Eastern Washington. it was the only one that we saw and it wanted nothing to do with us.
Exactly Jay! If you ignore them they will often try to get away. It's the best tactic usually.
Thanks so much!🙏
Great information. I totally agree with relocation if it can be done safely and conveniently.
Thanks Patrice!!🙏
Since getting rabbits, every TX rattle snake I've spotted has been by the rabbits. Last summer went to feed rabbits in the colony building and heard the rattles. It was hidden behind the rabbits nest boxes, which had to be pulled out for me to find the snake. Rattle snakes love rabbit, so I had to kill it. Building is on a solid sheet of rock, so a shotgun was not an option. I used the hoe I keep nearby for cleaning the rabbit poop up. That was a very scary situation. Feared for me safety and the rabbits safety.
Yeah, absolutely. In that situation you don't want to take chances. Glad you were able to dispatch it safely.
If you don't want snakes, don't feed them, I tell people. Remove their feed and shelter. I set out a mouse bait once a year that does the trick. Black Cat is a good one you can get at Lowe/Home Depot. The bait, not the trap. I use moth balls and a sprinkling of diatomaceous earth under the trailer to kill bugs, and keep it dry under there to discourage frogs. I also recommend permanent structures have a border of sharp gravel and/or broken glass. You can also plant geraniums as a repelling border and clover. Great info here guys. You would not think about snake trouble here in Florida but we now have all kinds due to "pet" releases.
Oh yeah, I bet. It seems the warm moist climate of Florida would be ripe for all kinds of animals. I didn't know pet release was such a big problem.
Thanks for the info Carol!🙏
You don’t want to secure it close to the head, you can break it’s neck. Grab it on the top third of the body. Better not to mess with it if you don’t know how to handle. Also shorter length tongs make it easier to lift and manage the snake. Good luck to you
so I guess that snake is not a good candidate for a petting zoo?? lol
I don't know Vernon. I wouldn't want to, but you're way tougher than me.😁
Well I certainly enjoyed this video and gracious, ol Dan don't do snakes lol!! Bunch of research was put into this and I thank y'all for sharing the info with us!! Dan
Thanks Dan!! We enjoy doing these. I don't really do snakes either, but when they're around the house you have to do something right!?😂👍
Oh man! Just no. :) I'll stick with my baby rat and water snakes!! Dude. Steel balls man.
Are you sure you don't want some rattlers? We have a few to spare. It's definitely the wild west out here!
Good information. Hey Jim or Jessica. Where did you get the snake grabbers? I may need to get some. Mel has a real I mean REAL fear of snakes and a couple of times a year I need to relocate one or two. I don't terminate them and catching them is a challenge. Thanks. Best wishes bob.
We got them from Amazon. They work really well. Good luck with the snake problem. Thanks Bob!🙏
Amen~!
Thanks for the educational NPA session guys. LYMI
Thanks so much, Mack!!🙏
That was interesting. We have the Massasauga rattler here in Ontario but they have become quite rare.
Klaus
Very interesting. I didn't know they had rattlers uo there. Thanks for that!🙏
Arizona state motto if it does not poke you it will bit you
NO, NO,, NO,,,, I would be so scared living in the desert ! I know the view is spectacular, but the animals !!!!???
Some can be dangerous for sure Irene! We don't see them too often.
Plenty of mojave's in that area. Seen many on Hwy 80.
,,,nice video ,,very nice indeed,, it is good for a person to know where there at and what there up against,, there are a few R,,S,, here in Ohio,, but there is one that is seldom seen it is called the Massasauga R,,S,, they like to hang out around water were people fish ha ha,, thanks for sharing,,,
I didn't know you had them there. Thanks very much James! We do try and get some of that information out there.🙏
I’ll be scared out my mind.
Sometimes it's good to have a bit of fear. Keeps you safe.
Thank you.🙏
I don't like spiders and snakes! Props to you for being able to safely handle the snake. Do you have like a .22, just in case?
Unfortunately we don't have any fire arms. That will have to change though. I think we need something, just in case.
Thanks Paul!!🙏
Where did you find your snake catcher? Great video snakes in our area are coming out in droves. After almost two years living in our desert we have seen four snakes on our property. Our neighbor behind us has a lot of snakes that love to warm themselves by his front door and the back patio area.
Go to amazon.com and type "snake tongs" in the search menu. You will find the exact one (with green handle). It just depends on the length of handle you prefer. Cheers!
We got them off of Amazon. They are super helpful. We found four last year, and already one this year.😬
Thanks so much!🙏
@@chadorico2480 thanks! Will definitely do that I have a short plastic thing I got free at Harbor Freight I just don't want to trust it!
Feel free to come get the one in my yard!
Where did you get your snake catchers from???
Hey Shirley!! We got them off of Amazon. I think we just googled snake grabbers and a litany popped up. These are pretty nice.
Thanks so much!🙏
This was interesting. Scarey snake! They are not endangered Species.
Very informative video on a very cool and misunderstood animal.
I used to be the snake rangler at a paintball park in surprise AZ and I've seen some whoppers!
Have you seen any coral snakes yet? They look very similar to a king snake but they are venomous and if think the saying goes, red and black venom lack and red and yellow kill a fellow.
I don't always comment but I'm
always here enjoying your content Jim and Jessica
Thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building👍
So you have experience then! That's cool!
You're a busy guy Todd, no worries. We appreciate what you can do when you can do it. Thank you!🙏
Indiana JIM and the Temple of Snakes ! Good eating them rattlers . Make nice chili . I have one more thing to say snakes and most creatures on the ground don t like wood ash . Ya the stones have to go and building a snake habitat from the stones away from the trailer is a good idea. Skirt that Trailer . There s and old saying if you run a chain saw you are going get to cut . If you handle snakes you are going to get bitten . Have a snake venom first aid kit handy cause you are going to be using it . Much love and respect from Howie the road runner that lived in the Sonoran for 5 years .
Very cool Howie! You lived in the Sonoran desert? Wicked cool tips Sir! Much appreciated. 🙏
Almost July... Have u found more?
Yes, I think we found one more. We did a video on that as well. It was in the straw.😬
I love NPA ... I have alot of rattlesnake where I live . I go my way , they go theirs . My veterinarian offers snake shots . Hi Jessica
Hey Sherry!!👋 You have rattlesnakes too hey? Yeah it's best to stay away from them if you can.
Thanks so much!🙏
😢 I hope the little guy gets released without him getting dehydrated
Gah! Snakes. Pretty for a snake.
One of your "myths" is wrong. Sorry but I have to correct it. I have been chased by a Mojave Green Rattlesnake...not once but TWICE. First time was about 20 years ago while living in Golden Valley Az. I was raising wolves (98 %) and one day when I was out walking with two of the 3 month old cubs I had both cubs stopped to inspect something. Yeah it was a Mojave Green. I got the cubs to follow me away from the snake but it started after us. I had to continue keeping the cubs from going back to it so I started to jog home (which was almost a mile away). That darned snake kept coming after us even at a jog all the way to my house. I got the cubs inside and when I went out to see if it was still around or hopefully went away It found me and almost bit me. I got a shovel and tried to "shovel" it away but it kept coming at me. Hated killing an animal but it had to die. It did become a meal for a Road Runner that saw me pitch the two pieces of the cut up snake to the road. My husband got a pic of the snake before I tried to get away from him...it's a got pic. Now...20 years later and in a different area of Golden Valley AZ our cat alerted me to a Mojave Green that was on our nice cool patio. I scooted him out of our 2 1/2 acre property (again using a shovel which he bit many times) out to the cool evening and nice open spaces of the desert and mountains of Golden Valley. When I tried to get away from him he came after me twice and my shovel continued taking his bites (and the hits were actually alarmingly loud hits). Again I had to kill a snake (which the two pieces were gone in the morning apparently by our great abundance of Road Runners). I have chased out Diamond Backs (with brooms) and never had a worry of them chasing me but Mojave Greens ARE AGGRESSIVE AND MEANER THAN SHIT. So your myth is NOT a myth.
Awesome video guys! I so love that you guys re-locate it and not harm it . You are so right do what you can to protect your self, but if possible just relocate it. You guys shared great information 😊
Thanks Zule! We try, but we understand why some people can't do this.🙏
Thanks for a very informative video. Over here on Ft. Huachuca we have to relocate the Mojave rs because they are a protected species of rs. This time of year they are coming out of hibernation and are out hunting. Please be careful.
Good info Robert! I didn't known they were protected.
Thanks for that.🙏
They taste good
That's not a fun thing to wake up to.... I really like native plants and animals. 🙂 2 is always better than one when it comes to safety.
Thanks Eric! We don't play around when it comes to rattlesnakes.😬
Good video. Not a fan of snakes. Especially since a timber rattler bit my dog.
I could see how that would sour your relationship with them. They are definitely not to be taken lightly.
Thanks for stopping by!🙏
