  1. Spider is not a problem. Just stroke it and tell to go away. They are quite silky to stroke, I had three kids, 6, 8 and 10 yrs old, youngest a boy and two girls, for over two weeks of camping want to go stroke a large Huntsman Spider spanning a hand size across its legs. The first day, while strolling the shore of a lake, we found it under a large chunk of ark on a tree. Just peacefully minding it's own business as I pulled the bark away. While I held it in place by a finger on the throat, I had each of the kids stroke it after convincing, much convincing, it was not going to bite as my Finger was holding it and would be the first thing bitten. After that the bark was lodged back in place. Sure enough next day it was still there, and again holding it, they all spent nearly 5 minutes stroking it each. The rest of our camping time each day we, they insisted, revisited for more stroking. By third day I did not even hold it down, it just accepted the stroking hardly moving, though it did move a few cm several times, and sat in different places at times, always under the large bark piece. A couple of times they left it a grasshopper they caught while we went there. The spiders are NO MONSTERS, and certainly not out to get you.
