Thread: Solo hunting; managing risk

I don't think the distance in should make a difference to how careful you are.

I had an experience early on, falling hard against a tree in a deep little gully about 2.5 hours back from the car park. I cracked a rib and remember thinking how it could have easily been much worse, and how difficult I would be to find even if someone knew my general location. Bought a PLB after that, and always tell someone my intentions before heading in - with options in case I decide to head in a different direction depending on wind, etc.
