Other people gave you a better answer than I was planning to. If you really want to see my thought process, go read all the threads where I asked people for suggestions of what to do - I mostly ignored those suggestions, but they'll give you a good idea where my head was at!
Cool. I'll check em out. I know solo hiking is a thing. It's just I was always trained that it adds an unnecessary element of danger to any generic hike. So why do it? I was just looking for your personal math on it. And, I guess, wondering about why you had to eventually call for help... was the trail not as heavily traveled as you'd thought? And that the place where you got injured was due for a flash flood that evening due to rains predicted in the weather report. These seemed to me like things that would have been evaluated in your "personal risk math", and I was honestly interested to see if you still agreed with your original risk assessment, or if the risk-math calculated differently after the fact. No judgement here. Just curious about your thinking before and after the event, and if it changed.
