There's plenty of dangers out there without increasing them by acting stupidly......and all this grandstanding you see on the videos is (IMO) just stupidity

it's never just the PH who is successful or otherwise at these times, it's the entire hunting team, working as just that......a team.

True enough in Africa but in other places maybe not.
Here in Oz we usually cannot employ a team due to the high cost of wages and insurance etc.
Often the "PH" IS "the team"!
Driving, guiding, tracking, backing up, caping, skinning, carrying, cooking, cleaning, mechanic-ing, gun fixing and many more things are often the responsabiliy of the Aussie PH. Just one bloke.
It is still a pretty good life though!
