Only if they have capacity, and I doubt they have capacity for horses very often.

I guess how stupid it is depends on the particular location - if you're on a flood plain, then yeah, but if there's high ground nearby, maybe not.

... What?

Bugs crawling into his underpants and having a nibble.

Beetle = beetle.

budgie smuggler = tight underwear/speedo

chop, chomp = bite

Animals tend to seek high-ground during floods, to avoid drowning. Doesn't matter if it's a human or a tree, so beetles and spiders climb him and hide. Although he's happy that it's beetles and not snakes.

It's funny because any Aussie would read that and know exactly what he means.

Kayaked a hell creek one time, most arduous thing I've ever done, took 28-hours.

Did not know there were banana spiders under every piece of tree I dodged. Was so covered I gave up on using the sponge to toss 'em, went in with my fingers, fast as I could go. Anyway, I'm a little over my fear of spiders. A little.

Wildfires and floods support each other.

As the green burns down it can help less with water retention and slowing down the surface runoff or stabilizing slopes through the roots.

As the floodings uproot trees or kill them in stagnant areas with prolonged suffocation of the roots, the dead trees dry quicker and become more susceptible to fire.

Climate catastrophe is fun.

Well, it is nearly winter 😂

I reckon we’re on coin toss climate. Heads (bushfires) or tails (floods). Sometimes it bushfires, sometimes it’s floods. Lately on the East Coast we’ve been on a flood streak. Our “luck” will change soon.
