I went camping ONCE. In upper Maine bear country. Elderly mother along. Too terrified to sleep. Mother slept soundly the whole time. I tried putting the tent up on the front patio and made it for a whole two hours before running back inside. Love the idea of the great outdoors. Just too chicken to handle it.
If only I had a clear tent that early September morning in Jasper Park Canada many years ago I could have watched the black bear cub jump on the tent right over my head as mama bear raided the nearby garbage container...
Heh. When you become the zoo animal.
