Screw the camp. I would just as soon bring a tent and stay in it close to the game. Sometimes you have to leave camp at 3:30 a.m. to be at a hunting spot by first light at 5:30. Personally I would rather sleep on the ground with a rock jabbing into my back and get another 2 hours rest.

However, it is nice to have a bucket or water or a garden hose to get the b.o. off.

Other things I can live without:

coffee/tea/soda
beer/booze
electricity (a candle or a campfire works fine)
dessert

The bottom line is that my U.S. hunts are far more primitive than what I have been exposed to in Africa.

However, by the time most guys can afford to hunt Africa, they are old, fat, lazy and pampered, so the safari companies cater to the lowest common denominator. And PHs have to live in camp for at least 6 months of the year, so they do not mind a little luxury if available.

And then there are the wives. Perhaps I will skip that topic.
