Excellent video, a lot of tips in this video for next time I go to the junk yard. In Australia it’s highly venomous snakes and more snakes plus every spider and insect that will have a go at you.

Brian. Your best bet out there is this spring before everything grows if you have a 50’s or earlier car. That area is unkempt. Still some nice parts to find though. If you have a 60’s or 70’s your in luck. Not much overgrowth.
