Most people don’t head out on a hike thinking, “Today feels like a rescue situation.”They’re thinking fresh air, quiet, maybe a little sweat, maybe a view.
And that’s exactly why personal safety for hikers deserves more honest conversation.
Because when something does go wrong on the trail, it’s rarely dramatic at first. It’s subtle. A wrong turn. A twisted ankle. Weather that shifts faster than expected. A phone battery that drains just a little quicker in the cold.
