They weren't unusual in Australian culture of the time. Having a mate to work with is what kept rural workers in Australia alive before automobiles, radios, and the Flying Doctor.

Not at all! In any sort of isolation and adversity, two can very, very often survive where one alone would die. The simplest things can kill you when you're all alone, which with the least helping hand are mere annoyances.

Re: Fourth Age of Middle Earth gaming
Well, maybe. When I was in hospital last week the consultant in charge of the unit introduced himself as "Dr. Washington", but the registrars and residents were "Andrew", "Herman", "Melinda", "David" etc. I found it rather disconcerting.

Re: Fourth Age of Middle Earth gaming
They weren't just two people. They were two tiny men with absolutely no useful experience, military or basic traveling. Realistically, helpful novices cause more trouble than they are worth.
