I walked alone again this time since all friends were busy. Coincidentally I witnessed the
recovery of the body of someone who hiked alone a week ago and was lost, and eventually found
dead.

However hard I try to invite partners, sometimes I have to go by myself. Frankly that doesn't
feel particularly bad but risks undoubtly exist. There are occasional news of thieves, people
lost, injuries, and even dead.

Before there are perfect solutions, I try to send regular SMS "beacon" to my family and friends
of my location (I hike with a GPS) and try to follow main paths as much as possible.

Just hope my friends won't mind my nussiance on those weekends :)
