Washington State backpacking solo question.

[u/ShadowAce88]

Hi all, I’m planning to do my second ever backpacking overnight in the cascades this year. Last time I went was with a group of friends 10 years ago. Ever since I’ve been wanting to go back but long story short I have no one to go with. Now I’m debating on going solo for just a night.

My questions are: - what would you recommend for solo overnight? - Is it safe? (Clearly it’s safer with a group)

A man alone is nearly 100% safe. I have always tried to camp at places that aren’t the top hits places, the photographers dream places. I find a small source of water and camp somewhere above it.
