How do you keep snakes away from your camping tent? I was told that putting salt or ash from your campfire around your tent will do the trick. Have you ever tried it?

I have never tried this but then again I have never been anywhere where I would worry about snakes getting in my tent either. I would be interested to know if this works though just for future reference.
Interesting. I have never heard about that either. It makes sense though. I guess snakes are afraid of salt and ash which can damage their smooth and sensitive skin.

Fire generally keeps away wild animals of any kind, every creature knows deep down that fire plus them, equals kebab so they try to keep away as much as possible.
I always leave the fire lit and it seems to do a good job of keeping em all away. Apart from the one time I woke up with the biggest spider ever crawling up my leg XD
