First 5 night solo backcountry trip
This friday I will be heading out on my first backcountry base camping trip solo, I was initially planning on having a buddy come along although he was uncomfortable with how long we'd be out there as in the past we have only done three night trips.
I will be heading to waters I've paddled at least 4 or 5 times now but I still have this itching feeling of worry in the back of my head.
Just this past weekend it dawned on me how long I will be out there just myself and seriously wondered what I'm going to fill that time with, I'm sure I'm worrying for no reason since I've been wanting to explore the area more and want to do a lot of fishing :/
I'm sure I'm not alone in this feeling so how did you all get over it if you have experienced it and what did you do to dampen those worries?
Edit: I feel like I should also state that it only takes me about 1-3 short portages (11km max) to get to a decent site so I'm not really THAT far in the backcountry.
