>>2609048When I was hiking with some pals recently, I fucked up one of my gaiters when I went off trail for a second to see something, shouted after them to wait for me while I fixed it, they seemed to hear, waited ... but then just kept on going after a few seconds. I could have really used a hand or some cordage, which I didn't bring because we left camp quickly for an unexpected hike and would return later that day.
Anyways, fuckers left me, when i was clearly kneeling down and struggling with something, right before a fork in the road. If I had been literally 1 second slower, I would not have caught the last possible glimpse of one of them down the trail, and would not have known which fork they took.
Do not leave a man behind, help your bros.
