So as I look forward to 2024 some fears (uncertainties) I have need addressed. Someone had a recent thread on leaving loved ones behind and the replies were helpful. So on to my next fear...
Is there a concern about theft of your pack or gear, particularly at town stops?
Strategies for avoiding theft?
Did a search but most threads were quite dated.
Biggest concerns are:
- Leaving a pack outside a store/restaurant.
- Leaving gear at a hostel while heading into town.
- Charging my phone/battery where I can not see it every moment.
Been thinking about hiding an Apple AirTag in my bag, but that seems after the fact(theft).
Also a personal alarm secured to my bag with the pull cord/pin secured to some structure so if someone took my bag the pin would come out and sound the alarm.
Other ideas?
