1674. ‘Amr bin Shuʿaib narrated from his father, from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The (lone) rider is a Shaitān, and two riders are two Shaitān. Three is a traveling party.” (Ḥasan)
[Abū ʿEisā said:] The Hadīth of Ibn ʿUmar (no. 1673) is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. We do not know of it except from this route; as a narration of ʿĀsim. And he is Ibn Muḥammad bin Zaid bin ʿAbdullāh bin ʿUmar. [Muḥammad said: “He is trustworthy, truthful. And ʿĀsim bin ʿUmar Al-ʿUmārī is weak in Hadīth, I do not report anything from him.”] The Hadīth of ʿAbdullāh bin ʿAmr (no. 1674) is better.

Commentary
In view of the multiple types of needs during the journey, it would definitely be more prudent that a man journeys in a party of at least three, so that in the likely event of anyone's sickness or death, the others might help each other, and inform those left behind, as well as fulfill the other needs of the journey through mutual help and assistance.
