Gonna get lots of advice on this one, some might even be useful. Here goes:

I will be guiding two hunters from Sweden. One male, one female. Moose hunt at my camp near Wood Buffalo National Park. 9 days.

They know each other but aren't a couple. They want to hunt together.

Now normally, I set up a 14x16ft wall tent and I bunk with the boys I guide. This is a little different tho. I've been guiding a long time and this is a first.

I've been told that the Swedish ladies are quite liberal. I am not.

Am I making too much of the sleeping arrangements or should I just pack a pup tent for myself and just act like that is normal?

Then again, I scrub up in the lake a few times during the hunt. Should a guy make her some sort of an enclosure or something? Am I too old fashioned? I will treat her like any other hunter except when it comes to the lady type stuff. I'm a door opener/stand up when a lady does type guy.....and the only woman I sleep with is my wife.

Ok, the popcorn is ready, I have a nice cold drink here. Let's have it.
 
She is just another hunter, mind you I understand. I am sure she has dealt with this sort of thing before, just treat her like any of the other hunters.
 
I'm not sure if this should be considered an ethical delimma, but rather a moral one.
Ethically you have no delimma. Your job is to take these two hunters hunting, you will fulfill your part here without a hitch I am sure. Morally, is it correct to have two unmarried people of the opposite ### share an acomidation. That I think is the question you have to ask. Perhaps seperate pup tents for everybody? Sems simple enough and that way neither of them will feel like they are being treated differently just because there is a female present.
How that?

Well, the first question to be asked is "is she hot?";):D

Seriously, I doubt if she will expect any special treatment. A canvas wall to seperate her/their sleeping area would probably keep your wife happier.
 
Huntin, I wouldnt even stress about it bud, until they arrive....

You might find out there is no reason to stress atall.
 
Some of you guys sound liek you have never been on a camping trip or shared accomodations with a woman unless married to her!!:runaway:

Geez..I can't recall how many times I've shared a bed or hotel room or camper or tent or whatever wiht female friends, but it's quitee few times. It's no big deal....Just set up the wall tent, and maybe ask her if she wants some sort of divider for washing/dressing etc.

NEWSFLASH: Nobody is going to get pregnant from breathing the same air in a wall tent.:evil:
 
am i invited?i will keep her covered with my charm:D..i will even stand in front of her to cover up her nudity:rolleyes:
jessssssssh the things i make myself do to help out some fellow hunters:p
 
Randy, you say they are not a couple either, so did they say they plan to deal with each other while in camp?

That might give you a clue, but if not, then just take a little tent along as a back up plan in case you misjudge the situation.



It doesn't matter how liberal or otherwise she is. Point being, she is a woman, and as the saying goes,

"who can plumb the depths of the female mind, armed only with the brutish tools of logic?"
 
Good points, thanks.

I've been pondering this for a couple days now and I'm really leaning towards not guiding them at all. I can't see a way to do this that would sit well with me.

I know what my answer would be if my wife thought she was going with a guy and girl somewhere........

So I guess it is both a moral and ethical issue.

Honestly just bring a seperate tent for yourself and you'll be fine. if she or he starts walkin around naked or something tell them that is not acceptable and ask them to put some clothes on. I think your just making to big a deal out of it.

just buy one of those camp shower things for like 30 bucks strap a tarp around some trees. bobs your uncle you gotta private shower.


you can make it work im sure. good luck.
