Task · part of 5. Shelter: four parts of preparation and then a night outdoors
5(c). Protecting yourself from bears and raccoons
Required
Two animals, named. The 2025 book asked about insects, reptiles, bears and other animals of the local region; the page narrows it.
Notes and warnings
Note. Bears and raccoons specifically. The 2025 book asked about insects, reptiles, bears and other animals of the local region, so the page has narrowed this one, which means a book-based answer covers more than is asked, not less.
