If I can come face to face at about 25' with a 500+ lb. black bear and walk away, like I did back in 2017, you can survive coyote howls.
And if I had $100 for every night I lay in a tent and listened to coyote howls, I would have zero dollars. It would be a new experience, and it would be an adjustment. At no point did I imply that I wouldn't expect to survive it. I also didn't sleep well my first night in bear territory. Doesn't mean I didn't expect to see morning, and doesn't mean I never camped in bear territory again.
