Would it be wise for a somewhat newbie to be doing a day hike in this area next week. I will be alone and have no emergency gear like any form of shelter or bag. Just plan to hike that day and start heading back home 4.5 hours away around dark. Will be spending the night somewhere, just don't know where yet.
Just concerned because of the possible weather and the unknowns about the area.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
