[QUOTE="southpa, post: 2903300, member: 65823"] Agreed. Some of those people backpack for days/weeks at a time with literally nothing but a pocket full of cliff bars a couple of light layers and a nalgene. They make it from stop to stop carrying very little and wearing SHOES! To a point you're right. You're taking in a little more risk being off trail. But being solo in the backcountry is being solo in the backcountry. Trail or no trail. I think there is a point to be made how some of the through hikers are literally minimalist. They carry nothing and run hundreds of miles in the backcountry for months on end solo. If something happens 10 miles from the nearest road it's not gonna matter if you're on the PCT. Only difference is you might end up with some moral support as you're laying there with a broken leg. But either way I'd get an inreach haha [/QUOTE]
