i am currently planning a solo trip along the PCT. i have always hiked/camped with people, so this will be my first time solo. i keep reading about people talking about random whackos and dangerous people running meth labs in the woods etc. How real is this threat, and where are these people usually doing this? I am in the pacific northwest, if it makes any difference. I just hate that i have to worry about this kind of thing when i am going somewhere that i want to relax and be peaceful.

thoughts?
