That's part of why I forage.. Even my friends in the desert don't want to mess with their spines 😄

Did you know that in Big Bend NP an old-timer built a hut from adobe on bottom with ocotillo as the roof? It was porous but did provide shade. Luna’s hut, or something, it was called.
Love it. Our outdoor patio space has ocotillo walls for the shade and to keep our dogs in
Just don’t hug any Teddy Bears out there.
