During one hunt I came across very large garbage bag in a remote location. It kinda freaked me out because the thought of a body being stashed there wasn't out of the realm of possibilities, but I poked it and it was just garbage. During the same hunt I came across what looked like hair sticking out of some tall grass. Once again, I check it out and it turned out to be a wig.
But, to answer the question, being a young woman who prefers to cache alone I go WELL protected. Thank God for the 2nd ammendment and the NRA! Plus, I always have a cell phone and a small survival kit, because you just never know!
Happy caching! Keep on stashin' and I'll keep on cachin'!
