Soooo much this. The same people who think something like this is needed to travel or camp are the same people who are so terrified of their fellow human beings that we have to hope they never get put on charge of anything important.
There’s also the constant emphasis on “self-sufficiency” in these things. The best way to be “self-sufficient” is to ask people around you for help when you need it. People help each other! It’s what we do! It’s how we’ve made it to this point.
