I’m imagining a moose is like a camel but wider and with horns? Hah

we don’t have big things over here That eat you... but yep a skippy can still mess you up if you get a big red or the like...mostly it’s just lots of tiny things with an over abundance of poisons :)
 
I used to see bears outside my aunt's farm in Pennsylvania. Also you can spot them in the Shenandoah mountains here in Virginia not too far from DC. Generally east coast black bears are shy and will go away from humans if you make noise. Except for the idiot tourists who feed them which makes them dangerous; even then black bear attacks are really rare. Still have to be careful, of course.

Now out in northwest you've got brown grizzly bears, which are a whole different story. Those things are monsters in the woods.

You don't need to run faster than the bear. Just faster than your buddy.

Once when I went to Montana for a hiking trip a guy told me how to tell bears apart: "If you climb a tree and the bear follows you up the tree to kill you it's a black bear. If the bear rips the tree out of the ground to kill you and then uses the tree as a toothpick, it's a grizzly. If there are no trees it's a polar bear. Enjoy your hike."

Summers are short up here, there are more people than trees, there's a huge appreciation for the arts and nature, it's not crowded, it's one of the least religious and most liberal, so all wins in my book (well, except for the short summer - it's like 6 months of winter).

Back when I lived there the classic meme was "more cows than people." Mud season lasted quite a while too IIRC.
