Solo hiking safety tips

[Harrison Bergeron]

My biggest fear when hiking alone on trails not heavily traveled (unlike the AT) is a serious injury that would make it hard to hike to safety, like a badly sprained ankle or broken leg. So I carry one of those new-fangled sticky ace bandages. It would also be handy to stop bleeding. Best part -- a full roll of the stuff only weighs .9 oz.

When in doubt, stop and have a cup of tea.

George Harrison-style, preferably. This is the best tip ever!
