I am a beginner, and was wondering if someone had information on how to deter certain animals during nighttime hours. I am going to Osceola forrest, and I know there are bobcats, gators, black bear, and rattlers. When I am sleeping, and if I cannot have a fire, how can I make sure my site is free from such animals. As far as food goes, I know to hang my pack away from camp, and in the air. But, while I am asleep, I want to be safe from critters. I will be by myself, and any advice would be great....HELP!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
