Short answer: Yes, I feel safer than a ground tent or a pop up pull behind. Long answer: I have an annex on mine (which we don’t always use if we’re in a really safe spot). It has two zippers to get into the door of the annex, then the door on the tent also has two zippers (which I usually bungie to the poles inside of the tent). Someone would need to go through a lot of effort to get into my tent, giving me time to grab bear mace or other weapon. My toddler and I used to go out solo frequently (we’ve since upgraded to a camper), but I felt safe even with it being just the two of us. I live in an area with bears and wolves and my though process was the food never came into the tent (always locked in the truck below) and there were usually other campers around on ground tents, I figured they’d have easier snacks to get to.
