I transitioned a few years ago and live hiking. My sister and a couple others have worries about me going on a hike alone, not for wildlife or cliff dangers but men.

I have been getting a little anxious about it after seeing how much strength I have lost after being out of the military and post surgery. On the other hand fuck the world and society, I'm not going to let shitty people keep me from doing what I love.

Do any of you solo hike or do things alone and what do you do to prepare or be aware of?

Not cis but agree. I don't want to downplay the accidents and crimes that can sometimes happen in the wilderness, because they do happen, but sometimes non-hikers can sometimes be really afraid of public forests and nature trails and occasionally exaggerate all the things that can go wrong, when in 99% of cases, you're fine if you come prepared.
