Glad to hear he is all right but I always say it is foolish to go on long hikes alone,

I am in agreement with you that anyone who goes on a hike by himself or herself needs to go with a partner.

I am in agreement with you that having another person to go hiking with is the best way to travel.

It's not usually a good idea for a young inexperienced hiker to go out on their own.
He should have had others with him, who knew the area better.
Good that he was rescued safe and well, though.

I am in agreement with you that Tobias should have been in the company of a companion.
