What is the primary reason behind not traveling or hunting alone when out in the wilderness?

  1. For more game to be caught collectively

  2. For safety in case of emergencies

  3. Because it's required by law

  4. For sharing hunting responsibilities equally

The correct answer is: For safety in case of emergencies

Traveling or hunting alone in the wilderness can be extremely dangerous, even for the most experienced individuals. Venturing into the wilderness alone means that there is no one to assist or call for help in case of an emergency. This could include injuries, getting lost, encountering dangerous animals, or other unforeseen circumstances. Hunting or traveling in a group not only provides physical safety, but also emotional support and a division of responsibilities. Therefore, the primary reason for not traveling or hunting alone in the wilderness is for safety in case of emergencies. The other options may be secondary benefits, but they are not the primary reason.
