I can't disagree that a majority of people are generally pretty lazy. They generally want to be the master of the "sport"' or "activity" in minutes or hours, not months or years. They also want to feel assured of a predictable favorable result pretty much all the time. That is, I think, why the list of people who want to go XC with me is very long, yet those that go by themselves later is much much shorter. The worry about landing out is a really big deterrent, even where we fly in an area with a lot of airports to land on. The best we can do is find the live ones and bring them along. UH
