The silence can be amazing. Phones don’t work, and if you are with someone, there is rarely a need to talk. You can go days and maybe exchange a few dozen words if any at all. And you take complete responsibility for yourself. Break a bone or start bleeding? It’s up to you to take care of it, and walk yourself out. Wilderness I wouldn’t go alone, unless I had an In-reach and a bush plane scheduled. Do it though, it changes you.
