The little fence is for brown bears. It is just powered by d batteries. It doesn't have much of a shock, but they say the Bears can sense the electricity. We didn't see any bears but a guy showed us pictures of a 3-4 year old bear that circled their tent for 3 hours. Never came closer than 15 yards...still too close for me

After spending several sleepless nights out there with the big bears, I think I'd like to try that setup.

It looks adorable.  Hope it's everything you imagined it would be.

We even used just the fence without any batteries when I was growing up. Most of the local bears had been zapped before so they would see that fence and not even come close to it.

It was pretty crazy when you had a hot wire up and the loud "snap" noise wakes you out of a dead sleep. Pucker factor of 10.

I had to use them this year, they work amazing and as you said the experienced bears don't even attempt to get past the fence. Even our single strain perimeter fence was enough to keep most out

Deer hunt this last season. Going to invest in one of those quilts that go under the hammock. I got miserably cold. It definitely beats sleeping on the ground though.

You might look at one of those windshield reflectors as a more compact light weight alternative
