Hey everyone, I just got back from my first solo hike in the Rockies and I’m totally hooked! I was scrambling to pack light without skimping on safety, and I stumbled across this awesome ultralight emergency beacon thing called the Garmin inReach Mini-it’s like having a satellite phone in your pocket for under 4 ounces. Saved my butt when I got turned around in some fog. But now I’m wondering, what are your must-have gear hacks for solo trips? Stuff that’s super portable but covers the basics like navigation, first aid, or even bear-proofing without weighing you down? Spill the beans, fellow adventurers-I’m gearing up for my next one already!
