Another way to say this- would you pack any differently if you knew for sure 1) you would not see another person the entire trip and 2) you would be in the limit of expected rotten weather for several days
Nope, although that's pretty easy to answer for me because I a lot of the time I don't see another person the entire trip.
3) you would get hurt, under conditions 1 and 2?
Again, nope. I've been hurt and sick enough to be delayed, if it
was something beyond I could handle myself I do carry a plb.
I do usually have a little bit of extra food/snacks, but pretty minimal.
I often get mooched from - snacks, coffee, alcohol, etc. Last time I was out with a big group it was my little medical kit that was getting used to patch people up.
The other thing I get mooched off of a lot is my chlorine dioxide water treatment - when someone's water filter breaks or clogs or otherwise becomes nonfunctional (which seems to happen with relative frequency)
The only think I've been known to mooch (and only if offered) is extra hot water in the morning - I keep my fuel matched to my morning coffee ration, but I'll not say no to an extra cup
