Remember, you're going into the mountains to disconnect from work, from a stressful life! So take your time.

When it comes to walking alone in Nature the questions I get asked most, especially by women, is: “Isn't it dangerous to go hiking by yourself? Aren't you scared to be out there alone?”
To be fair, plenty of men have asked the same questions, but more women than men seem to be afraid to go out into Nature on their own.
I see it reflected in the coaching I do as well. On average women seem to be more hesitant to trust in themselves than a lot of men.
Over the years my confidence has grown tremendously through hiking, both with others and solo.
This is why there now is a podcast about how to safely hike mountains. Because you can use what you take away from it anywhere, whether on a walk or in life.

Hiking by yourself in unfamiliar surroundings can make you nervous. Running into other people on the trail can make you even more so. However, in most cases, the people you meet are there for the same reason you are: to enjoy the quiet beauty and solitude of the mountains.

This is almost too sensible to be among the tips to safely hike mountains, but there you are. The tales of people not using their common sense when out in the mountains (or any other part in nature) are many. It doesn't always end well.

Not bringing enough water along can be more dangerous, IS more dangerous than bringing too little food with you. Find out what happens when you don't drink enough as I share with you a story of an almost disastrous hike I went on.
Google is a great help when you're preparing for your hike and want to find out how to best make sure the water you find on your hike is drinkable. Simply google something like 'How to purify water in the wild'. Do this well before the start of your hike to give yourself time to buy or order whatever purifying system you want to use AND have time to practice it.

It is tempting to bring the minimum amount of gear, food and water you think you'll need. After all, when you've prepared for your hike and know what to expect, why bring more? Good question!

Mountain hiking is not as dangerous as many people seem to think. In all my years of hiking I've never even had a sprained ankle. Nor has a guest or client ever suffered an injury or accident while in the mountains with me.
That doesn't mean accidents don't happen; they do.
When an accident goes beyond your first aid capabilities, it's important you know what to do and how to do it.

Not everyone does this before they set out and sometimes that means you end up hiking in your socks. Or you might find yourself freezing your butt off because you didn't bring a hat and mittens. And then there's that one item of gear you'll hopefully never need to use, but will be very glad to have in your pack when you do!

On this episode: two easy to forget things. The first one because it's something we don't think to do when we normally leave the house. the second one because this should be such common sense that I nearly forgot to include it in these tips to safely hike mountains. I'm talking about having a backup plan and checking the weather.
BACKUPS:
Have you told anyone where you will be? Who will send Search & Rescue after you when you're late in coming back from your hike? It seems such a silly thing to think about. After all, what could possibly happen to you when you're so well prepared? Probably nothing. But that one time that something does happen, you'll thank your lucky stars at least one person knows where you are and what to do when you don't show up when they expect you to.
WEATHER CHECK:
This is such an obvious one that I almost left it out, but I run into too many people who are not prepared or even worse are unaware of the weather they'll be running into on their hike.

A lot of people these days use an app on their phone or a GPS when they want to know where they are or in which direction they need to go while on the trail. But what do you do when you have no satellite connection or worse .... When the battery of your phone or GPS runs out?

Tip #01 - Choosing a trail. It sounds contradictory when you want to go into the mountains for peace, quiet and maybe a solo hike, but choosing a popular trail doesn't necessarily conflict with that.
Tip #02 - Research the trail. Part of preparing for your hike (mountain or otherwise) is researching the trail you want to walk. So what resources are there?
