Inktober Day 8: Hike. Something's been happening around trails and campgrounds in recent weeks. An increase in attacks that leave people mangled in ways Rangers have never seen. They're advising people not to go into the woods because it seems that even firearms aren't enough to stay safe. Artist @pixelerror404

anyone else mildly offended by the whole concept of campgrounds?
yes, let's bulldoze a chunk of forest and pave 90% of it. but! You've still got one or two trees to simulate actually being in the woods!

Similar note: I think campgrounds should be free and I think it's fucking ridiculous that they're not
Even laying aside the cruelty and silliness of treating people like criminals for not having a house—don't you think someone should be allowed to not have a house if they don't want one?
Of course people who want a house to live in should have one, we aren't arguing about that. But isn't it silly and cruel as well, that a person can't be allowed to live a dignified transient or nomadic life? Don't you think for some folks, living permanently in one place is never going to set right with them, and they would choose a portable form of shelter because it's better for their spirit? Why not? What's wrong with it?
It's so terrible to realize, how many ways of life could be possible, and how few ways of life are allowed, instead of being punished and criminalized for no reason at all.

Solo Safety - Part 1
One of the most asked questions I, and many other solo travelers, receive is: “Aren’t you scared out there by yourself? Do you feel safe?” It can be difficult to explain to someone how I feel less safe in a crowded city, how my nervous system betrays me in a grocery store more than when I’m alone at a campsite in the middle of the desert, or in sight of other campers up a mountain. Honestly, there was absolutely a time I was afraid. There were times I didn’t feel so safe! That’s what happens when you live with anxiety. But I counter the thought with: I would not feel any less anxious if I was somewhere else or not alone. Sometimes fear just happens and cannot be prevented. But being prepared and having a plan can help! I’m going to cover some of the basics in solo safety in a series of posts now.
A first step that can be taken with traveling or doing outdoor activities solo is to practice with friends. Is there a spot you want to try camping or hiking by yourself? Invite someone to go with you first. I spent so many years hiking at McConnell’s Mill State Park with friends or my sisters, so when I wanted to try hiking solo, my first inclination was to go to a familiar trail I’ve been to before and do it alone. It was a popular trail, and I knew it well. It’s a better idea to try something you know first than to go to an unfamiliar place for your first time. I spent an entire summer wanting to hike trails at each of Allegheny County’s 9 parks. So, I had a friend join me for 2 or 3 of them. I became comfortable finding the trails, figuring out where to park, learning about downloading maps on my phone, and reading reviews online before arriving. I figured out what to take with us on different lengths of trails, and what times were best to go. Then I was able to start going to unfamiliar trails alone. I was still in a County park, still on well-hiked trails, and these things increased my confidence. The drives to them were short so if I psyched myself out, I could easily turn around. The same strategy can be done with camping. Find a campground or area you would enjoy trying that isn’t a far distance. Invite a friend or family member to try it out for a night or two. Figure out with a companion what you need to bring, watch some YouTube videos on the area, and test it out. If you like the location, go back alone! This is a great way to boost your confidence. If you invite several people and they all turn you down – find new friends. I don’t mean replace your friends; I mean find camping/hiking friends! I have had success meeting several people online with apps, Facebook groups, or even just inviting coworkers I didn’t really know that well. It can feel weird or awkward at first when it isn’t something you have done before, but it gets easier and feels more natural the more you try. I have made great friends just from wanting companionship.
Now that we have some practice (or maybe you skipped that step), my #1 safety recommendation is nonnegotiable: communication. It does not matter what I am doing, communication is vital. When I travel, when I hike or camp within those travels, when I’m meeting up with someone new, I always tell several trusted people where I am going, what time, when I get there, who I’m meeting (or if I’ll be alone), when to expect to hear from me again, if I will have service or not, and I may even send a little cute selfie right before my adventure so they can see what I’m wearing. It may sound like overkill or silly, but I like to know someone always knows where I am and what I’m doing – just in case. It has become such an automatic habit for me that I don’t even think about it that hard. If it is a hard habit to develop, a location sharing app is a great tool, but shouldn’t be the only tool because technology fails. A combination of communication tools is best and gives me peace of mind so I can enjoy my time, especially when I have no service (which really gives my brain the break it needs once in a while). Because it was in my budget, I also carry a satellite phone with me for emergencies. My Garmin InReach Mini 2 takes up almost no space and tracks my location that I can share with others. I pay $15 a month for the service, which allows me to send/receive up to 10 text messages with no additional charge. It has an SOS button to contact emergency response in case I get into a really bad situation that I need rescued, but bear in mind that those services will also cost a lot more than $15. I consider the price worth it in an emergency. Your service also can be shut off and turned back on at any time if you know you will not be adventuring and don’t want to pay for it. There are similar satellite phones on the market, but this is the one I have personal experience with. Another common, quick, easy, old-fashioned way to communicate is leaving a note on your car window or checking in at a Ranger station. Many experienced hikers will stop at a Ranger station near the trail they’re going to just to say hello, make their presence known, and ask about the trail conditions. I have done this and found myself lucky to avoid a trail I was committed to doing because the conditions were not right at that exact moment – maybe the trail was flooded from rain or something like that. Or others will park at a trail head and leave a note on their vehicle window: “started trail at (time).” Rangers do check these! Many trails also have logs you can sign to track visitors. I will put “Miranda + dog,” what time I start the trail, and how many miles I plan on hiking that day.
While still on the topic of communication, you may or may not be a social media aficionado. When it comes to safety and traveling solo, especially as a woman, a good rule to go by is not to post where you’re going or your location until after you already left it. Maybe I’m paranoid, but if I have 500 Facebook friends or 600 Instagram followers, do I trust every single one of those people to know where I am alone? No. And you should not, either. If I am camping in a wildlife refuge for a week, I may be excited to share photos and videos I take, but it can wait until I pack up and leave. I love to spread awareness and the beauty of certain places, but only after I’m gone. Only the few I trust with my location need to know I will be “hiking at Hunter’s Canyon tomorrow at 3pm by myself” where there isn’t any cell signal and maybe no other hikers. Keep yourself safe from predators, not just the mountain lion type.
While on that topic, let’s keep it going strong with how to stay safe from predators – the two-legged variety. I’m a fan of a good RBF and confident demeanor. If you have ever watched an interview with a serial killer before, they often talk about how they pick their victims based off demeanor. Am I saying you will run into a serial killer while camping or hiking? Unlikely, but I know it’s at the forefront of all our minds when out in the wilderness alone, so we may as well address it. Like I have alluded to before, I’m more intimidated by running into people at gas stations and grocery store parking lots than I am running into the lone person in the woods or mountains. Most people camping or hiking are looking for the same thing I am – solitude, the sounds of nature, etc. We are all just trying to survive out here! Let people know you see them, smile or wave, give a head nod, speak out with “Hi, how’s it going today?” as you walk by. Chin up, shoulders down and back, relax and fake it til you make it. Also, leave the headphones at home. There is no reason to be on a trail caught unaware by person or animal because you’re not paying attention. The same goes for constantly staring at your phone. Eyes up! Don’t look like a victim by not being aware of your surroundings or appearing afraid to talk to people. I can’t count how many times I’ve been asked “are you alone?” when on a trail or camping. Fortunately, I have only ever had that asked of me in campgrounds, not while dispersed camping/boondocking. It is the most irritating thing, and it is so difficult to not roll my eyes at whoever is asking, normally a couple or group of people. It’s never the other people who are also alone that ask, because they don’t give a shit. If you’re not comfortable answering “yes,” then don’t! Say whatever you want. “Nope, my husband/boyfriend is meeting me”; “No, just catching up to my friends”; “No”; “Weird question to ask”; “I’m never alone”; or whatever else comes to mind. I have used all of these and more depending on the scenario and how tired I am of being asked that on a given day. If I am staying at a campground, where it’s generally safe, public, and monitored, I will now say “yes” because I don’t think it should be some taboo thing to go somewhere alone. Sometimes people just want to genuinely ask because they have never done anything alone, and maybe they want to start and will ask how you got into doing that. I try to understand from that perspective, but it’s also not your obligation to make conversation with anyone if you don’t want to. However, I have been in a situation before where a drunk man has come to my window in the middle of the night in a campground to ask "are you alone here?" and that is never okay. If something like this happens to you, keep the campground after-hours emergency number handy, and don’t hesitate to call an employee to help. Don’t be afraid to loudly, firmly, and clearly set a boundary. No one should be bothering you just because you’re alone and might appear incapable.
I am in several Facebook groups dedicated to solo camping, solo women, hiking, etc. because I find some great ideas that are given in them. They’re great for making connections and gathering advice. But take everything you read there with a grain of salt. What might work for others possibly won’t work for you. Many women who travel solo will advise to set out an extra chair to make it look like you have company, or to set out a pair of large, worn men’s boots at your campsite. I don’t necessarily agree with this system. If you’re camping for several days at a time, people are going to notice you’re alone whether you put out decoys or not. I think these things take up unnecessary room and don’t do the job you might like them to. I personally don’t want anyone to think it bothers me that I am alone, or like I can’t take care of myself. However, I do think bringing a dog is a great deterrent, and good company anyway!
So far, the base line is: educate yourself and trust your gut. If something doesn't feel right, lean into that and be vigilant. If you know you're just overthinking things, do what you need to do to make yourself feel better. In Part 2, I will be covering what tools to carry, some wildlife safety, the weather, and vehicle maintenance, so be sure to check back to cover more basics of safety! Please feel free to comment tips and tricks you have used, as well as any questions you may want answered!
