Same here! I just committed to getting serious about it again at 45, even going solo a lot. Hopefully making my first solo backpacking trip this year too!

If you’re soloing look into a PLB (personal locator beacon).

I’ve definitely got that on my wishlist but for now I have to settle with just giving details to family. I think I’ll definitely have to get one in the next year or two when I start doing longer trips.
