I have been thinking of taking a few simple solo hikes. My biggest issue I think is going to be convincing the Wife. Since one of the basic rules of safe hiking that is taught to Boy Scouts is the buddy system a solo hike goes right against that. I know that with people knowing my route, schedule and check in times you can still hike alone and be safe. I have also been sure not to show her Fronkey's video of the attack of the killer tree.
Any tips on how to work with family members about the desire for some solo time? I also don't want to give my Son the idea that he can just run off solo at 12. Figure as long as I am smart and include him in my planning it should help there.
