    I am assuming since I saw TWO in 8 days, the big cats are fairly numerous around here.

    Use Nature's defense.

    For mountain lions, cover yourself with wolf piss.

    For bears, cover yourself with human piss.

    Some 40 plus years ago while backpacking in the Eastern high Sierra's near Thousand Island lake . I had an encounter with a Mtn lion . I was on a trail heading towards Mt Ritter when I heard something off the trail in the tree line to my left and saw the mtn lion

    I started yelling and blowing my whistle and after a few minutes scared him away

    As per the OP ,

    If you're camping within a known mtn lion area or notice signs of one like paw prints or skat sightings . Camp in an open area away from thick brush / trees or rock ledges or a cliff . Keep food secured either by using a bear bag elevated in a tall tree or secured inside a vehicle or trailer . Also be very vigilant during dawn and dusk

    You've been watching too many movies! These cats can sneak up behind you without you hearing a thing! Good for zombies though!
