I did a solo bikepack trip I want to do a solo backpack trip I just have a hard time putting the bike down. Anyway I started at 8pm at night it was no long ride and literally over the hill from my house but still in the middle of nowhere (no cell service). I rode out made camp in the dark and froze my butt off. I was nervous at the start, but so glad I did it.
Do the hike you have planned. Go the first night and if it freaks you out hike back out the next morning the way you came. No big deal. If you like it and nothing has gone wrong continue.
I have been camping and playing in the big bad outdoors for 40+ years now. Nothing bad has yet to happen. That doesn't mean you should just go without a solid plan and some contingencies if something does go wrong. Just don't let the solo thing bug you. Most likely you will find it highly enjoyable. Be sure to let someone know exactly where you are hiking and sleeping and when to expect you back and when to call out the posse to find you.
Most of all relax and enjoy the scenery.
