When off-roading with a group if there is a member that doesn't bring supplies to help the group and relies on others tools and gear, what is the proper way to handle the situation?
We are going on our first group run tomorrow. "Recovery 101". Equipment list is required but they cut some slack first time out. The 3-4 hour run is to teach how to use this equipment. People install winches and never learn how to use them! A bag of emergency equipment is next to useless without the knowledge of how to use it. This group believes in "prepping". I am excited to learn new techniques tomorrow.
Give the new guy a break. Befriend him and help him understand the importance of being prepared for off road. He will appreciate it and so will the group.

x2Sometimes it's just time for the man-up talk. Clue him in that it's time for him to stop being dependent on everyone else for his tools, recovery gear, etc. Tell him that with the experience he has gained, it's time for him to be the adult he is and be self-sufficient and not need others to get him through a day of offroading.
Ha maybe it's just from being old. Us old guys just don't have the energy to use more words lol.x2
Is there a way to double like something? Once again @Jerry Bransford says what needs to be said with few words and right to the point. Dang Jerry, how do you do that?!
