That's not bad advice, but he's not climbing Mount Denali either.
He's just hiking. Hiking alone is what millions of people do.

There's nothing wrong with it. It's like driving alone.
Or like reading alone. Or watching TV alone. 

Accidents can happen anywhere. 
You just need to be prepared for the most likely ones.

Or if there isn't any cellphone service in the area, which is why I had
suggested a ham radio or satellite service (which I know is rarely used).

I didn't know about OSMAnd. That's a nice feature if it works well.
 "OsmAnd Tracker is a modified Telegram client created for flexible
  monitoring and sending messages with GPS locations in real-time."

A second radio seems to me to be a safe bet although I have a (rather
heavy) battery pack for charging a phone with foldout solar cells.
