Nothing to worry about, I love the solitude and the cover of night. You should try being 10 miles back in, sleeping under a pine tree by yourself. Better yet, you should hear the noises coming of a fresh gutpile as you hike of the mountain. There are the sounds of bears, cats and wolverines fighting over the scraps, and now we can often hear the howl of those blasted wolves at night. Never once have I ever felt in danger. I agree, if it is your time it is your time. Might as well end up as a pile of animal dung as opposed to a speed bump in the middle of the highway!!!!!!!!!! By the way Matt/PA , is that a camoflage skirt?????????????
