Hiking alone in single digit temperatures. Where do people get the idea this is a safe thing to do. Eight back country skiers dead in Tahoe after they ignored blizzard and Avalanche warnings. Good judgment seems to be a rare commodity these days.

Young folks just think nothing bad will ever happen to them. I was same way. Did stupid stuff like driving on a lake when ice was questionable- had to even gun it getting back on shore becsuse ice melted about 6 feet from shore. Walking on questuknable ice and fell through 3 times- thankfully in shallow enougn wqter that ididnt go under. Talk about painful! Driving fast, jumping off cliffs into water-, working several stories high on roof no safety line, (3f3n f3ll 2 1/2 stories into a bison enclosure) lotsa dangerous stuff.

Nkw that ive wised up some, you watch, i’ll be done in by som3 kind of safety devise, probably trip on the ice with cleets on and the cleets will luncture a vein and bleed out lol

I agree. Seems demonstrably stupid.

Hiking alone is a huge no no.

I don’t even walk 30’ to my car with temps like that.

If I slip and fall and am unconscious I’ll lay there until someone notices me, which might be days.

So I bring in whatever I might need and stay inside

Being alone for 3 years has made me be really careful about things that never used to concern me at all.

I agree.
