Portable electric fence. With no evidence at all I feel like it may deter a black bear, and coyotes. Large dogs and large cats may not be deterred but as a general rule these predators don't like people and stay away from camp. I use it in base camp with a wall tent or RV. It sets up in 30 minutes, it is light weight. The premier 1 fence I use needs additional support poles for wind and snow.
I lay a light weight tarp on the ground, fold the fence with poles as I take it down, lay it on the tarp and roll the whole thing up. A herd of cattle pushed it down while the goats and I were out hunting. The fence was fine, the power had been off when this happened. A solar charger works well and is also light weight and fast to set up.
My goats hate the fence and don't touch it. New goats learn quickly to stay away from it. It is easy for me when exhausted from hiking to just open the gate and put the goats behind the fence. The goats can relax, eat and drink with no concern of getting tangled on tie outs. It is easy and keeps the goats contained.
