[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am always wary of going in the wilderness or jogging in a lonely park. We pretty much keep to a lovely pedestrian path near a calm road in our neighborhood.  Even in the state parks I like to keep to paved areas and places where there are many people. I have bumped into some really weird people in MoCo parks and I don't like to go anywhere without some stuff for self-defense.   You always hear of women dying in such areas. [/quote]

I’m a woman and have done a lot of solo hiking. Long hikes too. I had several safety plans in place.

But one time I was a handful of miles from a trailhead on a not very busy trail and I came upon a man with a chain saw. No joke. I was petrified. Turns out he was from the “Friends of” group for that trail and was there to cut up a fallen tree and clear it from the trail. He was a nice guy and we chatted for a bit. But I was a lot more skittish about hiking on my own after that. I mean seriously, a chainsaw? In the middle of the woods? Can’t make it up.
