Can’t wait to start doing more things by myself. I wanna go hiking by myself since my friends n family always bail but I’m worried about the safety aspect

I believe there are groups that meetup and go on hikes, most activities have little groups you can find online or like Facebook

I’d recommend “busier” trails. Or trails that don’t necessarily lead you to the literal middle of the forest. Luckily TRUE hiking people are probably some of the purest people out there cuz all they care abt atp is nature and its beauty

Arm yourself and take some self defense classes! Also make sure you tell trusted people where you’re hiking and an estimate of when you should be back. Share your location with them too
