wildnfree member Registered: 09/29/17 Posts: 25 Loc: Phoenix, Az	You need to do some training first before hiking alone. It's very different from hiking with group. Choose a short trail near you and hike for about 2 or 3 days. Taking a month off to hike solo is not the best option. You need to prepare everything from food, gear, and spirit to overcome the fear while in the wood. _________________________ Best 10 person tent Best solar charger for backpacking
