I'm a good planner/organizer, so I don't mind planning and organizing the fishing trips I take with friends. If you don't pay your portion or are not prepared properly, or do foolish things that grownups should not do, don't plan on traveling with me again. All the begging in the world will not get you a return trip with me. I'm not your mother, wife, girlfriend or other caretaker, so don't think I'll put up with the crap that they do when traveling.

So, if you plan on traveling, camping, or fishing with me, you'll know up front what the expectations are. Needless to say, I only travel repeatedly with a handful of friends who are tried & true and pull their weight. Also, when invited to go with someone else, I treat my host with the same respect and support that I expect, and go out of my way to give 110%.
