Just had a strange idea about hiking season. I'm thinking of doing a head start. Starting at Harpers Ferry going north, then returning to Harpers Ferry and finishing south. That would put me in Southern Appalachian hunting season. Yes wear orange make noise etc.
Here's my crazy idea. A lot of cyclists are now using those blinky lights, they have about a 180* spread. So if I make a elastic headband, most of the lights have a belt clip attachment, buy 3, put the lights on the head band and I become a walking " I'm a human" beacon"
Pretty cheap to do.
