Rarely plan on going alone but it has often worked out that way, at least for a few days most years. Seems I have more success when hunting alone, so not a bad thing except when I have to pack out by myself.
Wife did make me purchase a "Help I've fallen and can't get up" personal locator (Delorme InReach) a few years ago. HAven't needed it, thankfully, but it does let wife keep tabs on where I am. She gets a lot of comfort seeing me make it back to camp t night. (So do I.
