*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Camping in the woods often feels relatively safe. You're away from people, in the peace and quiet of nature. Nothing could disrupt the sense of calm, right? Actually, whether you are camping in an RV or in a tent, you may be subjected to a range of personal security threats, both from people and from animals. Camping is an 'out of the ordinary' experience, but this doesn't mean you can let your guard down. Although a camping trip is definitely not the riskiest vacation option, there are risks presented by the environment, the wildlife, and other people.

When you arrive at the campground, ask the host or ranger about recent animal sightings so that you are aware of any potential threats. You may also want to ask them about other security problems or safety issues that you should be aware of during your vacation.

Many people love to camp because of the chance to spot wildlife. However, you should never approach wild animals for any reason, especially to feed or touch them. No matter how cute they look, approaching them may startle or upset them. Plus, some wild animals may carry diseases such as rabies.

When camping, it's also important to keep your food secured. Don't leave food out on picnic tables; instead, store them in secure plastic containers inside your car or RV. Food attracts a wide range of insects and animals that will make your vacation unpleasant, at best.

If you do come face-to-face with a wild animal during your camping adventure, your first instinct should be to walk slowly away, if you can. If the animal starts to follow you, an excellent option is to use bear repellent spray. With a formulation very similar to that of the pepper spray designed for use against human attackers, this spray will take down almost any animal threat confronting you, not just bears, but without causing permanent harm.

It's also a good idea to equip children and adults alike with a personal alarm. This is particularly true if you plan to go hiking away from your campsite. With a 120db audio alarm, personal alarms will be able to summon help whether you're confronted by an angry animal, have fallen over a tree root, or have gotten lost on the trail. Though it may seem like taking a hike while camping is a safe adventure, it's always best to be prepared to deal with any danger that might arise.

Avoid bringing valuable items, such as jewelry and electronics, with you while you're camping. You could lose or break them, or they could be stolen from your RV or tent. If you must bring them with you, keep them stored in a diversion safe, such as a safe designed to look like a rock or a can of soda, so that anyone walking by won't realize what you have.

Going on a camping trip is a great way to spend time with family and friends away from the distractions of modern life. This relaxing, enjoyable, and economical vacation option does come with its own security concerns, however. Certain precautions must always be taken to ensure that your camping trip goes smoothly.
