I do hike with a Garmin satellite communicator, but I disagree on hiking alone. I do that all the time, and have for decades. Just let someone know your itinerary, so SAR will know where to go, is all.
And these days, every new iPhone allows for emergency SOS satellite texting.

Agree to disagree on hiking alone. Guess it depends - you know your hike and circumstance, my goal is to never need SAR.
If I ever need SAR, I’ve fucked up, majorly.
