But what if you are in between a trek or in woods? Are there generic anti-venom kits available that you can carry?

If you’re going bush walking, you’d usually take a snake bite bandage. If you’re otherwise healthy and have other people with you, you’ve got a few hours to get yourself to a hospital or ambulance.
Not generally, and unfortunately in recent times there have been shortages in antivenoms, and many smaller hospitals haven't been carrying them.
