On a camping trip, leadership usually looks like the person carrying the extra water.

A lot of what holds a group together is somebody quietly taking on weight nobody has asked about. The extra water is for other people’s mistakes, and carrying it means accepting a cost for a problem that is not yours yet. It is not heroic and it never gets discussed. It is also the difference between a difficult afternoon and a dangerous one.

Work out what your group tends to run short of, and bring extra of it this week. Keep quiet about having it until somebody needs it. Then hand it over without the lecture about being prepared.
