It's that time of year. I rolled over a tarp to have a yellow jacket nest come at me. Thankfully they only got me once, past the glove on my wrist. I was backpedaling to make a land speed record. Smothered them with a backhoe bucket of cinders.

Well I'll tell ya, a 64 year old man can still run a pretty quick 40, and I mean 40 acres when he steps on a yellow jacket nest.
Zim I would have paid good money .....to see that !

One time I was cutting brush around my bow blind with one of those folding saws and I ran into a nest of them. As they were biting, I was swatting my arm with the blade of the saw. Saw did more damage than the bees.

Match not needed. Let that fuel soak in... May not be necessary but it sure is sweet letting them burn....

The last time I got nailed by them, I was 2 miles from my truck, digging ginseng. When they are fired up, they are like mini fighter jets, with bayonets! Glad you’re ok Zim.
If your mind draws a blank, turn off the sound, because ya can't learn a thing if you're doin all the talkin

Match not needed. Let that fuel soak in... At night, put the gas/diesel fuel on a rag and put it in/over the hole. It will get them all.
