I agree Dog. I think my chances of getting "jumped" or robbed are more high where I live in Camden County. I think the worry is that you're in the middle of nowhere. No one is around or in close proximity so if help is needed it is just a bit more difficult.
I hope my reaction time is fast. I've been in some predicaments or witnessed in my life. Usually, when everyone else is in shock...I am the first to respond and snap them out of it. I've actually seen the delayed reaction on people's faces and you'd be accurate to describe it. I appreciate everyone's concern. I have a backup phone. It is an international phone that I use while traveling and will be bringing it with me for now on.
My husband does get worried. However, he has to realize this is my passion and my love. He does not like to do these things and is the type that would complain after a 1/4 mile. I can go on for miles. I enjoy the nature and the moment. The solitude. My son enjoys it as well. Holds a smile the entire duration.
I think honestly though I have a bigger chance of getting a foot sprained then I do getting attacked in the Pineys. However, of course there is stranger danger everywhere in life, but if I lived in fear..well, wouldn't be able to live.
I'm looking into a handheld device as well. Hopefully, after research will purchase in the next 24 hours.
Suggestions are welcome on a decent device. However, not too extreme in price. Thanks everyone!
If there are ever any get-togethers here, I would love to be of company and join. Can go with or without son. I enjoy discovering new places.
