Used to take girlfriends with me usually, but single right now. When I was in my early 20's I used to go alone all the time. It was a bit more boring though and a lot more eerie at night.
Thinking of taking a friend with me who I've been helping get up on prepping, how to build a kit, etc. He has a good kit put together now but NO outdoor experience. I like to take the NV goggles and such into the woods to practice patrols, etc. I also practice shelter building, fire starting, water procurement, etc. He has 1) no weapon (I can outfit him) and 2) no experience with any of this stuff. He wants to go but I worry...
Not sure if I'd be better off training alone so that 1) I get more used to being alone out there since that's how I'll likely be in SHTF 2) am not slowed down by him.
That said it's more boring and eerie going alone (although I go equipped with NV goggles and infra red "tools" you never know what or who you run into, with the bigger concern being who...) nice to have someone embrace the 22 degree F suck with me lol. Push comes to shove we take separate vehicles and split up at night in different spots? What say ye?
Go alone and toughen up?
Take him with me and embrace the suck together?
Take him with me and split up at different sites if desired, giving me the option of both?
