Those Brown Recluse spiders are no joke.
There are a few of them up here, and there's been a couple of reported bites from those that were widely reported on in the papers here. They don't survive the winter, though, so their presence is short lived. The prevailing theory is that they hitched a ride in someone's personal belongings or on a vehicle shipped from the lower 48.

Same as here, we really don't have any, but every now and again you hear of them hitching rides from the south or mid states. I probably wouldn't be so bad if I didn't already watch some gross and nasty videos about what happens if them little suckers get you. But can't go back in time now!! LOL
Suppose I'm there, and in a shed outside the cabin. I notice a brown recluse (and after crapping my pants) I run out of the shed - only to see a Grizzly between me and the door of the cabin. I have no gun. My first instinct would probably be to climb on top of the shed, because NO WAY I go into a shed with one of them evil killers. But I'm also not fond of a Grizzlies 84 foot claw swiping my head off either. So I think I would be superhuman and jump on top of the shed and taking my chances that someone hears my sissy screams and saves my life in time.

lol, I'd take my chances with the spider inside the shed. There's lots of tools in there to smash the offending spider at a safe distance!
Besides, the shed has 8' walls and a 12:12 pitch... so even if you did make it up the wall, the 45 degree angle combined with the slippery metal roof would make it pretty hard to claw your way up to the peak there - not that it's impossible if properly motivated.

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
