Would a fox eat your face?

[Binnie]

I know the humble fox was given some really bad press a year or so ago, mauling babies and suchlike, i don't think they'd tackle an adult human, they might give you a sniff but that'd be about it.

above everything else, i think my snoring would be enough to keep them away lol.

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.

apart from zoos, i reckon we'd be safe from bear attacks here, on account of them being extinct here, unless they can swim the english channel, north sea, or atlantic ocean, i'll keep the bear spray towards the bottom of the list bud
