Well it seems there's just a few comments and opinions on the matter. I've definitely added to my list of things I won't do. As many have stated, muzzle control is always #1. It should go without saying. Whether you want to carry with one chambered or not, there's the possibility of human error that you thought it was empty, or mechanical failure of the safety. Muzzle muzzle muzzle should go without saying.
For my own purposes, alone I would generally be chambered, with any other amount of people, unloaded while moving. But, even if I checked myself that your rifle isn't not loaded and even if you've removed the bolt, control the $&@!&%# muzzle.
This whole thread reaffirms my decision to be very selective who I chose to shoot and hunt with.
