[pct-l] Solo female hiking advice...

[Trekker4 at aol.com]

Erin,
 
I'll tell the list and you the same thing I've always said about  the 
"snakes & bears" question: By a factor of 10 it's far more dangerous to  drive on 
a highway or live in a city, than it is to go backpacking  anywhere in the 
US. A solo female hiker is far safer on a trail than she  is on a highway or 
living in a city--stop and think about  it.
 
Don't hike in fear of the bogeyman! Just hike.
