I hike alone whenever I can. Also fish, hunt and run cross country. It's rare that I can be alone and I value those moments. I haven't camped alone in a few years, except during deer season. I'm lucky that the boss likes being outdoors and isn't one of the dainty breed who shrieks when a mosquito lands on her. Recent se walked into our weekend camp with a bull snake she had caught for a kid down the block.
