From the Author:
It seems like every time I went "solo" hiking, I would either run into people I knew from my associations with trail and environmental organizations, or curious fellow hikers who were sincerely concerned for my safety and well being. In every case I would try to explain why "solo" hiking was my preferred method of travel, and that I was well equipped and provisioned for my journey, and had years of experience to guide me safely. I wrote "SOLO SAFE!" to help those intrepid individuals that seek solitude in the backcounrty understand the scope of circumstances one may expect in the wilderness, and enjoy their adventures safely.
