Going solo feels like it would reduce risks from conflict, trust issues, and other people in general, but it also means handling everything yourself , food, defense, injuries, and long-term planning. A small group could offer more support, shared skills, and better chances of covering weaknesses, but then you also have coordination issues, disagreements, and the challenge of relying on others under pressure.
I can’t really decide which option would give better odds in the long run if things were truly unstable.
