Camping in the USA?

Q. I would love to go camping in the USA, not sure where to go though. My only concern are there many bears or wolves about, as I know you have them in the USA. I presume American citizens would have a rifle of some sort for protection, I am a Brit so would I be able to have a rifle for protection just for the duration of my stay?. Nothing fancy just an M16 or something similar.
Yeah good advice, cheers cisco kid.
No I am not anti American just anti bear and wolf and I have never fired a gun.


Answer
Dude, you have been watching wayyyy toooo much TV and have some weird notions on what America really is!!!!!!!!

first,
BEARs are not a consideration unless you go way up north (like Alaska or Canada).. the grizzlies are the only species of bear to attack UNPROVOKED.... don't worry about it.. if you happen to be in a very isolated area (which will take a few days of backpacking with no one around) be smart and use bear bags & the proper precautions to avoid attracting bears.. it's a thing called self-education (http://www.outdoors.org/recreation/hiking/hiking-bears.cfm)..
and if you are attacked, it's your own damn fault for leaving a pack of oreos out....

second..
wolves will not attack you unless you're alone, hiking thru yellowstone in the dead of winter when they haven't had a meal in a month.... in reality, you'd be a real lucky guy to even see a wild wolf in it's natural habitat... let alone be bothered by one.. you'd be one of the very few to witness such a beautiful creature.. but my guess is that you won't be going to such a place since our country is a bit larger than your own.. there's much land to travel here..

as far as the guns go.. the only reason you would need one is for your own stupidity & likley hood that you don't understand western america's customs & would need protection from another human being, not a wild, rabid animal...

as far as your research goes... remember this.. in the US there are TONS of people living on both coasts... travel further inland, and you'll start seeing less people.. the real wilderness areas for adventure are in the northern rockies, or the desert southwest... both are harsh environments & weed out the sissys..
happy hunting
