“So not only will you get out there, you’ll do so more often and perhaps get further into the wild.”
No, as soon as you add a person, things get twice as complicated, from there the more you add the worse it gets. I mostly hike alone.

That is true. Two people changes the dynamic, adding more people changes the dynamic even more.
I have never hiked remotely alone, and as a woman I probably won’t ever do so. That’s the only time I wish I were a man. ;)
