Yeah, I usually start hoping I won’t need it but after hitting a few sticky webs I grab a stick and start waving it in front of me. But then I don’t go low enough or do a bad job and catch a few more with my legs or my head. Sometimes I just kind of forget and start using it as a walking stick only to be reminded why I was carrying it in the first place.
A few days ago I was trailblazing to another part of the trail and I walked face first into a huge web. I looked slightly to my left and there was an enormous spider an inch from my face. Thankfully they’re not dangerous, but it still gives me a low dose of the heebie-jeebies.

It works, but its effectiveness varies.
