    Moose will not bother you. As with all animals, they can be dangerous if you come between a mother and the offspring. If they are on opposite sides of the road/trail, stop and wait for them to move. Make some noise to make sure they know you are there, although they will probably notice you before you notice them.

    Of course you can spend a night in a tent if it’s raining. You might encounter buildup of condensation inside your tent and on your gear. This can lead to your sleep system not performing as well as when dry. If that’s the case, consider booking a hotel room/cabin to dry off your gear. Your tent looks fine.

    Have a look at this map to find shelters along your route https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1zqVpeAFh371N7jWLG8Gw9YMmAM-7vzPW&ll=62.53549572571022%2C17.97926260000002&z=3

    I would bring a water filter. There are livestock and people around. I use a Katadyn befree.
