[QUOTE="Doodle, post: 2002054, member: 98051"] Ask yourself a few first-aid questions: Am I trained to take care of severe wounds? Do I trust myself to maintain calm in a trauma situation likely to induce shock? Do I know how to treat shock? Other questions to ask yourself: If I get lost (or immobilized), do I have with me and know how to use various tools to get found? Am I able to read weather, and do I know how to avoid the worst weather scenarios? ( like what to do if a huge lightening storm shows up suddenly) if you answer yes to all of the above questions and have an InReach, then you are about as safe as can be in the woods....Likely safer than pretty much any city on the planet. In my experience, it’s the people back home (my wife) that worry more than I do. As other people have mentioned, be mindful of the fact that you are indeed alone and very far away from help, and use appropriate caution skinning, climbing ankle-twisting slopes, etc. I’m with you; I love hunting alone and experiencing the zen of the wilderness and all of its solitude, silence, and the lack of the outside world invading my thoughts. The only thing that unnerves me are mountain lions... [/QUOTE]
