In my book a friend is worth more than a tool and if they don't know how to use it then be a friend and teach them !-)
I had mates who tagged along.
Always forgot something.
At first I carried spares be it a mug spoon or cheap knife. Even lent tarps and sleeping kit at times.
Then I realised that they didnt bother as it was expected that it would be easily sorted by me.
End result?
I stopped packing the spares. They looked crestfallen when I said I haven't got a spare you'll have to do without.
But some of them then bought their own kit and enjoy using it.others stopped coming when they realised that the combination quartermaster/packhorse had rebelled.
There are a few folk I will lend my knife/axe/ saw to.
Mostly memebrs on here as I know they will treat it with the respect due.
I also remember lending mr fenna my outdoor axe and telling him to put his back into it as he looked a little scared he may damage it
After seeing someone who has been on a "course" ask to borrow an axe as he had taken his back to his car, then preceded to take it off a chopping block and nearly chopped on the ground before he got shouted to stop, kind of makes you think not everyone should be allowed out on their own.
