Not a big deal as long as you understand the risks. If you fuck up, you're on your own for a while. Personally I'd go with someone more experienced and learn a few things before you venture out solo.
Single best thing you can do is let someone know where you're going and when you'll be back (or check-in).
Basics for your chosen activity... first aid kit, navigation, survival stuff. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Bandages/gauze/tape/water, map/compass/GPS, pocket knife, some cord/rope (mule tape is my preference), firestarters (flare or two, couple lighters), snacks, couple trash bags, space blanket. Change of socks is nice too. PLB or SPOT/InReach if you find yourself in the backcountry regularly. Basic toolkit to fix your shit.
Majority of my riding in the summer is done solo.
