The wilderness camp was quite different from what Lynch had imagined. He had been to several other camps, even some on the vast grasslands, but those places didn't feel like they were protecting humans but rather preventing humans from harming nature.
A kind of reverse protection, people were confined within camps that could only control human behavior, while the walls were actually too low to block the leap of a large feline.
But there's no need to worry about animals going out of their minds and attacking a human camp. In nature, animals are more aware than humans of the importance of abiding by rules and the value of not rashly entering another animal's territory.
Here, on this grassland, thick wooden stakes formed the outer barricade, large enough for a person to wrap their arms around—if not thicker.
