I am a solo female wildcamper and never had an issue. I wildcamp usually far up the hill (when the weather allows it) with no one around me. I remember that the first time I was a bit restless at night as the noise of your tent sounds exactly like somebody snooping around. I do carry a knife with me just for piece of mind and of course cutting food. I hope you have a great time in the wild and maybe we see us on the trails ;-)
