I'll hunt with about 4 friends. I'm always the "leader". I let them know when I'm leaving and that they are welcome to ride with me, or they know where I'm going and are welcome to show up. I pack food and supplies for myself only. They know to bring their own chit and that I will be where I say I will be. Thats it. Sometimes I hunt/camp alone... sometimes I have company but I damn sure dont base my hunts around wether someone else can or cant make it.
