[quote=Anonymous]I have done this, but took a big scary looking dog with me (a couple of cross-country road trips, plus exploring during summers out West). It was a great experience, though I have to say that I definitely felt a bit unsafe at times. I would probably recommend against it without the dog. I felt safer on solo backpacking trips (with dog and following standard advice on letting people know where I was heading and when to expect me back) than on nights camped alone in public campgrounds or near the road in national forests, particular if I pulled in late and didn't have a great sense for my surroundings. Try to find a friend to go with you. I had friends with me for some of my trips, and it was much more fun, and I felt much safer/able to explore without worries. That said, I'm glad I had some solo adventures as well, I just had to be more careful about them.[/quote]
