Popup truck camper with soft sides
Can pop up truck campers with soft sides be safely used in Alaska and other wild country? Thinking about bears, big cats, raccoons, etc. Any experienced input appreciated.

Yes!
Why not?
I been to Alaska and NWT several times. I seen people with kids staying in tents. Others just overnighting it in sleeping bags literally under the stars.
I don't see Alaska wildlife as being any different than northern Wisconsin or any other place with bears, bobcats, raccoons, etc. The deer, moose, and buffalo ignore you. You have to go out of your way (very carefully) to get decent views of them. Food storage and campsite cleanliness needs to be adhered to. Just practice good camping manners and all will be well.
