Now I'm a newb in camping, started just this year, been out solo 3 times, with a buddy about 7. This was pretty spooky, even considering we were sleeping in a fucking fortress, log walls and everything. Still have no idea what was out there. I've heard every animal there is in my country, like this one time (again this year) we were pretty spooked by branches breaking constantly near our camp. The animal approached us at night and my friend told me in the morning it was probably a moose (heavy breathing, came very close). Anyway I digress.
