- Phobia
- UCS: One night camping, a pack of raccoons surrounded my pup tent and slammed up against it, and in the morning my sneakers were chewed in half or missing. Also, another time camping in a small tent, alone this time, raccoons were climbing all around the trees over my tent. UCR: Really scared of raccoons & their teeth. CS: Both experiences happened while I was camping in a small pup tent. CR: I do not like to be in small tents anymore. Phobia could be eliminated if I camped in successively smaller tents with no raccoon activity.
