So I've been going car camping a few times a year for as long as I can remember, and want to start going backpacking. I'll be in bear country most of the time. How do I get rid of my (ir)rational fear of bears attacking me at night? I've had rodents and deer making noise right outside my tent and it gets the adrenaline pumping, but I can't imagine a more dangerous animal being mere feet away from me.
