Fortunately, we haven't faced any similar situations. I wonder what I would do. My biggest concern in such cases is to protect my children. They are small to not understand the threat. Are there any services I can address (except for the police) if I feel in danger because of such strangers when camping? Also, are there any other security solutions?

Although not related to that event last year, I've been trying to find a good security system option for my coach. I'm interested in it primarily for theft when the coach is unattended and outside, but it makes me think about if it would be possible to have a panic button(s) like I do at home for use in the event of a serious issue. I guess that's a cell phone these days, but the old-fashioned part of me would like the comfort of an integrated security system. I just have not been able to find anything I like. Way back when, there was a system called Trek Mate - but they are long gone and nothing similar seems to exist now.
Anyway, before I take this off topic, nearly a year later, several more camping interactions in since I crossed paths with the strange guy, we have not had any more issues. As mentioned before, it was a bit of a fluke, but a good reminder to remain aware of your surroundings and the people around you.

We never had a very bad camping experience, only some minor health issues. For the cases like that we have a large amount of different medications (all the descriptions can be found on Canadian Pharmacy website) with. The children usually never get sick on our trips, even when the temperature is going down.
What about you guys? Did you ever get badly sick while on camping?

On rare occasions I run afoul of this type of individual and just say I need to visit the john and leave them hanging in the breeze. I consider this a form of selfish rudeness on their part when they won't take the hint.
A few years ago the same type of individual tried to make himself at home at my campsite to never ending sound off how there were to many people in California. He was a float tube fisherman from Santa Rosa.
Latest episode is a local casino bell hop who I did not know came up to me and started a never ending one sided story telling mew in detail of the life cycle of the Lahontan Trout of Pyramid Lake, Nevada and their spawning, eating and migration habits up the Truckee river. Then he launched into his intricate knowledge of fly fishing and fly tying. He knew more than any encyclopedia on the fish, etc. He did give me some free drink coupons that I did not need. Good grief.
Cheers from the House of good eats.
