    Man, the no waste mindset is full on with Laura. Impressive. I love the "I ate the snake" mindset

    Turning it into "snake mate" Tape Mate is the ultimate real life Red Dead Redemption 2 collectible side quest.

    To me, the phrase “I ate the snake” means “I did something most people wouldn’t do”. You took the road less travelled and you do so every day. Thank you for sharing your unconventional travels. This is exactly why I watch your channel.

    "I barbecued the snake" 😂 love it ! Of course you did. You're the 100 barbecues girl.
  • @carolann811
    It's a very honorable act to eat the snake and create something both useful and beautiful from its skin. I feel you've set something in motion and started down an amazing new path in your life.
  • Save the rattle! I run a violin shop and fiddle players love to put them in their violins to help with the tone!

    When life throws you snakes, make snake lemonade.

    I’m a Southerner and the Rattle is popular for Bluegrass guitar players to drop into the body of the instrument for a little sizzle when playing rhythm 😀

    I love your journey so much, Laura. From junkyard creations to inventions to house builds to the newest and arguably most exciting chapter, it's been a privilege to ride along with you and your enthusiasm for new experiences. Thanks for being an inspiration!

    Laura, as a woodworker, conservationist and hunter/fisherman, this video couldn’t be more well positioned for me. Also, the description of your thought process, and your really ethical approach to your art is further exemplified in this discussion. I knew there was a reason you were one of my favorite Youtubers.😊

    "Eat the snake" it my new motto. I love how this story summarises your new project, keep it lit!!
  • @blubbblubb6239
    Ate the snake reminds me of 2 sayings: Eat the frog first (do the biggest, most difficult task first) and how to eat an elephant: one bite at a time (every huge task is accomplished by doing one little step after each other...) and both fit so well to this channel I think!

    I'm from Texas. Several years ago, my great uncle killed a rattlesnake with a wrench. After the snake was dead, he reached down to pick up the wrench, and the dead snake lunged at him and bit his hand. He was elderly and lucky to survive.

    Dear Laura I love your reaction, your way of thinking. I call it "the why not ?" . The first question of a child is "why ?" The second one of a healthy brain should be "why not?" 😊 I understand !!! I think that it is the main reason why I really appreciate you.
  • @RogierYou
    Yep make sure you have Smudo trained to stay away from snakes!!!!!!
  • @apsodric
    Don‘t mess with Laura and her neighbours or you become a snake mate! What a story!
  • @GotMountains
    She moves to America and is already turning into a Savage 😂 But seriously, I love the thought process that leads someone to use their resources wisely. 🤘
  • Snake rattles are often dropped inside fiddles to give them extra mojo!
  • @wortheffort
    Next time in Austin you need to explore the food truck scene. Lots sell rattlesnake on their regular menu plus other interesting tastes.

    In the spirit of eating the snake, I hope you get to go on some road trips around California with your family. It is one of the most beautify and diverse natural places on the planet, you can see so much on 2 or 3 day relaxed trips from home. From Death Valley to Mountains to natural bridges to awe inspiring trees that are taller than sky scrapers.
