If you keep a clean camp (cook and store all food elsewhere, have no toothpaste, chap stick, or any scented items which may attract a bear), how likely is a bear to come visit your camp?
How likely are they to try to get into your tent in the middle of the night?
Is it worth having an electric fence for sleeping, or is it just a "security blanket"?
Thoughts:
* You can be as clean as you want, but will always have some food odors present in your hair and clothes from cooking, etc.
* I've heard people say that bears can smell the food inside of a sealed metal can - pretty crazy sniffing power.
