Awesome thread.
I travel, hike and camp a lot as a solo women.
Jcravens, your link is great info.
A lot of it I came to the hard way.
The best thing about self defense and self reliance is the non-easy target vibes you give off. Its in your body language, a kind of unspoken don't mess with me I can handle it
I come from some bad experiences in the past and that used to make me more likely to get problems a kind of expect trouble and get it body language!
All the "bad" things were from guys who were "trustworthy" ie friends of friends, teachers..
The most important thing (as you say) is to not give a 2nd thought to other peoples feelings if you feel uncomfortable or at risk
I felt pretty edgy in Morocco but no bad events
