Have you been to a campsite that is alien to you like you don’t know anything? It is a great challenge is you will consider the dangers that might be lurking. How about the rebels or criminal elements? And not to forget the wild animals that can harm you. There’s also the chance of unfriendly locals that may ruin your trip. In short, you need to make a research on the campsite so you can be prepared on what to bring, how to act and what to expect.
I remember in the 90's gear theft escalated. Suddenly you were half afraid to leave your camp site. No wonder, tents @$800 or more, sleeping bags@$500, back packs nearing $250+ it was a quick profit for someone to slip in, load up and walk off with, then selling the stuff at reduced prices just to make a quick buck. I don't know today's statistics, but, my feeling is theft is less prevalent. Physical crime has never been anything I've experienced or heard anyone I've known talk about. Every great once in awhile you come across a knot head, usually do to liquid over indulgence, but mostly even that is just loud lip service. I feel safe when I'm out there, from people anyway. I've only had one bad experience with animals in all the years out there, a bear one time got close and personal while I was in my hammock sleeping, nothing happened to me, but be scared the living poop out of me!
