[Milsurplus] But wait! That's not all

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

And the spiders in that crawl space are likely
to include the Brown Recluse (aka Fiddleback)
variety.  The bite of these is horrible.  If not
treated quickly, the poison injected by the
spider kills the surrounding flesh.

Ham friend here in OKC put on waders without
remembering to shake them out first.  Spider
got him just below the groin.  Took close to
six months to clear it up.

My house is built that way too but the only access is a trap door in a 
closet.I would not think of storing my treasures there.Too many spiders...
  From the amount and size of the gear,it must have been a large crawl 
space.

For the non-southern folks, "crawl space" is what many 
less expensive houses built in the deep south have under 
the floor. Foundation top (stem wall) is maybe three feet 
(maximum) above ground level. Generally there is no 
need to worry about freezing pipes during winter. 
There are vents spaced around the stem wall to allow 
ventilation. In winter, these are covered to hopefully 
keep temperatures there above freezing. The "floor"Â 
of this crawl space is usually just bare dirt. It's common 
for folks to store their "treasures" (read junk) there.

space & look what emerged
