Great work to the SAR teams for rescuing the 45-year-old man. According to the article, law enforcement encourages people to not hike alone as going with someone or a group will be a safe idea just so you won't get lost. To add my own suggestion, also bring a cell phone with you just in case someone in your group gets lost, especially if you have the SOS feature on the iPhone. Please be safe out there!
