I never enter a field without my partner, and my partner doesn't go on the field without me. We always go together. If he doesn't show, (10 minutes before game time) then and only then will I get my gear on and enter the field alone.

You shouldn't be on the field checking the equipment alone in the first place, unless you are working alone.
