Snakes aren't dangerous.

http://ufwildlife.ifas.ufl.edu/venomous_snake_faqs.shtml

The chances of dying from a venomous snakebite in the United States is nearly zero, because we have available, high-quality medical care in the U.S. Fewer than one in 37,500 people are bitten by venomous snakes in the U.S. each year (7-8,000 bites per year), and only one in 50 million people will die from snakebite (5-6 fatalities per year).




I bet the families of those 5 a year would disagree with you...

as would those people if still alive..

Heck, we have people predicting far worse and more dire outcomes on less proof than 5 people a year dying.

the slants are designed at 63 deg angle to discourage the animal from pulling their head back with a mouth full of hay
Dang thing may work!

We did some trial and error and decided that a 6-inch spacing was a good balance. So, our feeders are constructed with 2-foot long 2x4 boards at a 63-degree angle and spaced 6" apart. The bottom of our feeder is about 3-feet off the ground and the step in front is about 1.5-feet tall.

Homemade hay feeder for goats. Dimensions: 4'x8' overall; 16" high stand & bottom of hay box; 28" to bottom on openings; 63 degree angle (27degree cut), 6 1/8 in apart (8 1/2 on center) 2x4s

Quote: I'm still a fan of the neck lanyard system. Web belt could work also as ChickenCanoe mentioned. Depending on the style pants a web belt might not fit through the loops anyway. Belts don't have to be used only for holding pants up though. Most of the Security on base here wear double belts. One thats required as part of the uniform and a secondary tactical belt that carry's gear. I suspect most LE have similar setups but not as familiar with them. The big thing is going to be finding something that works for you and you are comfortable with.
