Do you have peepholes so that you can look out of the door before unzipping it and finding yourself nose to nose with a lion?
@kwlf: what about sleeping in a tent and having to go to the bathroom or pee at night? That is more challenging than waking up in the morning with lions near the tent. I have not found lions near my tent at night but encountered some animals on my way with flashlight to an oblution block 500 meters away from the tent somewhere in the Moremi Game Reserve. One trick is to make some noise and then to swipe a strong flashlight left and right to see if you will spot any predators eye reflection in the dark.
Surely in a tent you do what you do in a plane: pee into a bottle and chuck it out in the morning
A #2 is something else…
Unless you have a masai grandfathers, I think there is a high correlation between “night encounter with a lion” & “having a pee at night”
Do any animals try to get into tents? They easily could.
At 24kg I would expect a tent to be lion-proof.

Re animals, in most of Europe (not Albania) the biggest thing is a fox.
What in Albania?
Otherwise:
There are bears in Albania and south of there, through to N Greece. Probably a bit N of Albania too.

Aha. My bear was a Swedish one. We’ve got quite a few of them. And lots of elk and reindeer.
There is a fly in with SUV (“sov under vingen”, in English: sleep under the wing) at Starmoen ENSM next weekend. I plan to take the Cub and my ancient Ajungilak sleeping bag Just hope the weather will be OK.

And moose?
A moose bit my sister once. Moose bites can be pretty nasty.
