This isn't a dumb tip....it works really well....
but remember it only works with male pee.....female pee doesn't have enough testosterone in it.
It will help keep away the smaller animals and if in bear country it will let them no your there so their not surprised or they can avoid you all together
(still get your food away from your tent ,like you said,don't take any chances)
