[quote=Anonymous][quote]No. Don't hike alone in remote areas.

Hiking is downright foolish?? Good lord so we should all lock ourselves in our houses and never venture out into the great outdoors? What an odd and sad view you have. This woman lived a full life and died adventuring into the great outdoors. To me that is a much better life than someone who lives a long time and is too timid to ever do anything with it!

Your reading comprehension is lacking. The PP said 'hiking alone', not 'hiking'. And, given the portion of the AT she was hiking, yeah, it was downright foolish to do that alone.

lots of people hike alone. Lots of people hike the AT alone. It is not foolish. I think more people should try getting out in nature by themselves. It is good for the soul. I did find an article on this and it sounds like she took medication for mental health issues, and was directionally challenged. So there are some specific circumstances that may have come into play. But again, solo hiking is not foolish if you are prepared and know what you are doing. I also think, good for her for trying this, if it is something she wanted to do.[/quote]

I hope you hike alone and often.......[/quote]
