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.

I think it is more of an issue that people either don’t know how to, or just “don’t” keep a clean camp, hence the varmit issue.
Today I have a nice camper to sleep in, but not many years back me and my buddies slept in tents while fishing and hunting. We never had an issue ever with any varmint beside a porky coming in and looking around.
Keep a Clean camp.... learn where to cook and where to store your garbage and your food...etc.....
My wife was raised in Stewart BC ( Hyder Alaska) and we just had a little mini “ Stewart Reunion with some of her school chums. One of the guys ( now a grandfather) talked about how they camped in tents along Fish Creek with bears everywhere...and he said they never lost a camping buddy ever...( he did grin, not sure why....)
Do some research on being bear aware... it’s pretty simple stuff.
