Barefoot Florida Man Traps Gator In A Trash Can

A barefoot Florida man trapped a gator in a trash can! Always know your surroundings.

If it's possible that gators could be around, it's best to know your surroundings. That way, if one pops up you might have a plan already in your mind. Do you take off? What would you use as a weapon? Where would you go? What would you hide behind? All of those would be good things to know. It's also good to know what you could use to trap or keep the gator away from you. This Florida man opted to use a garbage can which he had at his disposal--and it worked! Check out a video report shared by FOX 35 Orlando on YouTube below!

According to UPI, the Florida man had to leave his Easter dinner early in a hurry so he could take care of the gator. He's known as "The Blue Collar Brawler" but his real name is Mike Dragic. He was the one who responded to this gator call in Jacksonville, Florida when she noticed one in her yard while letting her dog outside. You don't want your dog out in the yard with a gator.

A video that's going viral online shows him barefoot in shorts and a tank top using a trash can to trap the gator which is probably around 7-8 feet long. He's definitely a bad ass, that's for sure.
