Yeah, that is terrifying. Being trapped in tent fabric, maybe unable to free your arms and legs to put up a fight, while being eaten. I share that. In a way that's why I take a strange comfort in sensing the big folks near camp. My hope is the bears will stay away to avoid them. Might seem weird to people who are particularly afraid of bigfoot and I get that, but there is a hierarchy of concern and BF is nowhere near the top of my personal list. Snakes don't bother me too much. I was bitten by a rattlesnake once .. I didn't care for it. I'm careful with snakes but they don't give me the visceral heebie jeebies the way spiders do. I shoot spiders. Around home my GF takes care of the spiders, I take care of any rodents (which affect her like spiders do me) .. it's a mutually acceptable tradeoff. Spiders + bears are why I like a mesh bug bivy for backpacking. Keeps the crawlies away but I can see around me if I hear something. Hand on sidearm .. yes .. and flashlight in the other. Being able to see is the great equalizer. Reminds me of the saying about "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king." -

Nah, HOAX!! There's a secret society of hoaxers that go around and plant bigfoot tracks so that unsuspecting hikers/snowplow operators/etc. will find them. Others in their group run around in Bigfoot costumes, anytime, anywhere. Sorry. Just feeling snippy this morning and need more coffee. In fact, I felt so snippy that I forgot to hit "Submit Reply" and will have to drink twice the usual coffee tomorrow morning.... -

Most definitely, if not in grizzly country........but sasquatches might be "human"........... Tom lions and mature boar black bears are very definitely predators of solitary people, especially kids and small women. I don't fear wolves at all now, having numerous encounters with them at face to face range.........unless there's a pack of them. Even then, they've never snuck up on me. I seem to have the body language that works with them. I've never heard of a lion dragging somebody out of a tent at night, but I don't have to worry about them up here. That's my ultimate bear fear. I feel a lot better about it if I think I can get my hand on my sidearm. At least that's what I tell myself. Vipers are my nightmare. Bears are easy. -

This thought about tracks and encountering other critters .. I still think the most likely to be dangerous is other humans. There are a lot of good people out there. It only takes one problem person, though sometimes those travel in packs. Watch out around campgrounds and trailheads, they present a predatory person with an ideal opportunity .. people with their guard down, possibly few witnesses, and a ready way to escape / fade into the crowd (traffic). Maintain situational awareness .. ear buds out, cell phones pocketed / put away, hands free, and keys handy. You want to be able to walk to your car, open the door, throw in your pack, climb in, and drive away with no searching for keys etc while you are at your maximum exposure to risk. Probably all will be cool, but it is better to be over prepared than under prepared.
