I have "protection" but never take it with us camping (except once) in 30 years. What we do have is alternative protection: very vocal dog that don't take no guff from anyone or anything!
At home, he's the alarm and at home my 20 gauge with that really cool "click-click" sound is my "warning" to get out of dodge! NEVER had to use it, but the dog sure sure let us know when someone comes around. Even inside the camper is someone walks through our campsite! ALWAYS get OUR attention, and when looking through windows, the attention of whoever is outside!
Best protection we have ... our beloved doggie!
