Q. You don't know that they are coming when you are sleeping.


Answer
I have slept in the Rockies in Grizzly / mountain lion country and here in Alaska with brown bears, black bears and wolves about. There are a number of things you can do.
The number 1 thing is no food in your camp or the smell of food on you. Cook about 40 yards or more from your camp. Keep all food in a container up in a tree held by rope to a tree near it. If you get the smell of food on you wash up and change clothes this includes the smell of fish.
Do not use shampoo that smells like food such as strawberry.

Location of your tent or camp is important. Never camp on a moose trail or bear trail. Avoid camping in thick brush or tall grass where you cant see around you. Avoid camping in river bottoms near the stream or river when there is a food source such as salmon. Donât camp in berry patches where bears feed.
If you have horses and are in cougar or bear country you need to put them on a picket line close to your tent or sleeping bag and keep a fire going that gives off some light and keep your firearm and flashlight ready or some noise maker such as an air horn. A gun is MUCH better.

If youâre camping in an area with lots of bears some use a portable electric fence. This is what scientists and biologists use in polar bear and brown bear territory. These work great for bears.

As the others said you can run a string or fishing line around your camp and then tie cans or something that will make noise if something walks into the line.

One time in the Rockies I had a grizzly following me as I was hiking into the Bob Marshal wilderness area. For a few days it followed. So at night I slept in the thickest pile of downed trees I could find. So the bear would have to dig through those logs to get to me, giving me time to wake up and ready my gun. Or I would sleep inside a rock over hang as far back as possible to be safe from falling rocks and built a big fire at the entrance.
Staying alert is very important. Going to sleep after you got drunk is a BAD idea in the wilderness.
I have more but this is long enough as it is. But I have camped alone in wilderness areas for months and was fine. Last summer I camped with friends along a river with brown bears all over the place. We had one walk right through our camp but it found nothing of interest and I could see it didnât like the smoke from the fire. I had my rifle aimed at it as it went through. A soon as I said âget out of here bear!â it left and all was good.
Fact is your more in danger sleeping on a park bench in a major city at night than any wilderness area. I just wouldnât even try that!

I live in connecticut, where can me and my friends go camping, somewhere fun with nice scenery?
