The only truly necessary precaution is to have a way to protect your food, and most often you're just protecting it from rodents & racoons. If bears aren't an issue in your area then hanging your food in a sturdy cloth bag is good enough. If bears are an issue in your area, you might want to consider a bear canister instead. Store your food at least 30m away from your campsite to keep animals from fucking with you & your gear. Other than that don't fuck with animals and they won't fuck with you.
Skinwalkers are cringy /x/-tier horseshit. Please don't talk about that garbage in public. People will rightfully think you're a mental case.
