That is for sure the best policy, to not wheel alone (your right). That is not allways possible or reality though! And as I stated "So do yourself and others a favour, and just bring a reliable spare with ya while offroading". We are talking Spare Tires here arn't we? Or engine failure, drivetrain failure etc.... Whole different ball game and topic. You can / should carry your spare tools, parts , first aid, survival gear etc.....
It was real nice of you to tow him out, but not everyone is like you or I (shitty I know, but reality as well). Lucky for him you were around.
If wheeling alone make sure you at least tell someone you trust, were your going and for how long. That's my policy if there is nobody wheelin with me.
