This one has been bugging me too.
There is a lot of "notion" among my local club that pilots should not fly alone. But here's the rub, I get more air time than anyone and it's because I fly alone. It's nice to go with other pilots, but if you really want to excel, you have to fly alone. But there precautions one should take, like anything you do in HG.
So I let someone know, where I'm flying, when I'll be launching, and when I'm expected to check in by. That's really all you can do.
Now, as a HG pilot, the odds of me landing in the trees are so low if I'm just recreating, but if I choose to do Aerobatics, maybe that's a different story.
Just use your wildnerness sense, and ask yourself how long do you want to spend in a tree or with a broken clavicle at the LZ. You know the risks.
