I do that eventually, but not at the _first_ sign of trouble.

Think about people you would take with you to a recon mission, and
those you would not.

Given how inexperienced I am (and the chances of my knees giving out), I
wouldn't want to take anyone unless the situation were dire. Tag along
behind someone who knows their s**t, even if they're 20 years younger
than me, yes. Lead, well, things would have to be pretty well down the
tubes before it made sense.
