No...I definitely agree with you; in a place as narrow and confined as a forest, all of us in there would make getting around and handling problems that much harder.

[A bit of a doof Ippo might be, but he understood the folly of getting oneself stuck in tight quarters...it would be no better than being stuck in the corner while someone wailed on them. However, Duke had a good point there...it would be beneficial to have a second team ready in case something went awry with their expedition.]

Yeah...that sounds like the best course of action here; let's just hope things don't come to that.
