    Or, if you like desert camping like me:

    the pitter patter of little scorpion feet as they run about in search of insects
    the rapid run of javelina through a wash in search of yucca
    and a mourning dove call reminding you of why you liked to camp out in the first place.

    Heh, I sat the entire night thinking "The kid in the tent next to me is 300 lbs. I'm 120. It'll eat him not me" over and over.

    Hey there's a reason I camp with my disabled husband... who do you think could run faster from a bear?

    Exactly. You don't have to be faster than the bear - just faster than your husband.

    Two words, maple - BUG SPRAY.

    Or, of you prefer, TICKS!!! MOSQUITOES!!! (In other words: lyme disease, EEE, West Nile Virus...) Use bug spray or netting, and don't let anyone call you a pansy for it. Better DEET than DEAD.

    But why would that concern you?
    Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.
