When you're preparing to go camping, one of the things that you need to think about is how you'll minimize your chance of an encounter with a wild animal. A run-in with a wild animal, particularly if it's aggressive, has the potential to damage your camping gear and potentially even cause an injury to members of your group. Fortunately, there are a lot of different animal deterrent products on the market that you can buy in advance of your trip and pack with your gear.
