Perhaps even  in a small cave?Place the guard(s) in a hidden place to observe the proceedings.When I did my military service we always had at least two guards, even with a small group when in a dangerous area.. That means stricter rotation and less sleep, which can be compensated by taking a longer break.Playing monsters, in particular animals, intelligently gives a much more satisfying experience. That way the PCs can surmount them in other ways than pure hand-to-hand fighting, making the game more varied.Wolves harass, trying to split and tire the party. They don't attack a collected herd ready to defend themselves. (Suicidal beings tend not to survive long enough to procreate.)The long rest will certainly be broken if there are wolves just outside the perimeter, howling to scare and split them. Perhaps triggering the Alarm from time to time (the sound would probably make them shy away anyhow).And perhaps that is trouble enough.How about "excluding anything smaller than a dog*".* Make that a cocker spaniel if your DM is being silly.</blockquote>
