Would a fox eat your face?

[CharlesHarris]

I don't know about foxes, but a bear will, especially if food smells are about and you have spilled food on your clothing. Here it is important to store food in a sack raised high, out of reach and not to store any snacks, dirty mess kit, etc. in the tent. Instead rig a perimeter alarm at least 10 metres away from and surrounding the sleeping area, hanging your mess gear, empty food cans filled with gravel, etc. to make noise. Keep a powerful hand torch and bear spray handy. I have several times had bears in camp and the bear spray is an effective deterrent. Works on feral dogs and people too.
