If your friend says "I wanna jump off a bridge" and you drive them to the bridge...

Yeah that’s different from dropping someone off for a hike. She doesn’t need a wall tent and sled team to go on a hike in the white mountains. Plenty of people solo hike up there, very few of them have any issues.

Yeah, and the ones that don't are typically familiar and know to check the weather etc.

Unlike her.

And the last dude.

And the one before them.

Solo hiking is fine with a map, GPS and knowledge of the trails.

Wandering into the woods on your own in an unfamiliar place...welll...
