You should certainly guide them. I'm sure it will be a good experience.

I second what Kyle said about the second tent, tarp and portable shower. It covers all bases, privacy is ensured, and a hunting you shall go.
 
Most "ladies" you meet these days in the woods have bigger balls than most modern men. She probably pee's standing up.

As someone pointed out earlier, Swedish woman and men are both pretty liberal. Best take a large jar of Vaseline just in case for yourself.
 
I know what my answer would be if my wife thought she was going with a guy and girl somewhere........

.

Go have fun hunting?:p

Seriously, are you concerned that you may be sleeping in a tent with a woman?

Are you concerned you won't be able to control yourself, and you will have ### wit her? What's the real issue here?:confused:
 
Well I would say Ask her if she would like a divided wall up and then go with what she says. But you are sweating this way to much, my mother use to hunt and she would just goto the lake with shorts and T-shirt and bath that way.

Plus most women want to be treated equal and prefer no special treatment, so again just ask her what she would like.

If you were in another line of work would you be able to go on a business trip?!

mkaig way too much of it. When she gets there tell them both how you operate and string a divider, big deal!
Are ya goin huntin, or moon lighting :D
 
Seal hunter,
An interesting point. If I was going on a business trip with a female workmate, we would have seperate rooms, or I would not be attending. Unlike the liberals, I not only want to have the appearence of no wrong doing I want no wrong doing.
I would do this for my wife of some 23 years. It is not a trust issue only an appearance issue. What if some one called my wife 2,000 miles away and just to stir it up, told her they had seen me go into my room with some other woman? Even though I know nothing would happen why would I want to allow that sort of question to even enter my wifes mind. I think it has more to do with respect for ones mate and her feelings. I would do nothing to hurt my wife and if my boss didn't understand that I have the wrong boss!
Huntinstuff, you are correct. No mater how "liberal" the Sweeds are it is your hunt, they are your guest both in your life and in your country. You make the rules, you simply tell them whats going to happen, don't explain just inform.

OK I'll get off my moral soap box now.

It's the morality of it. I don't believe a fella should sleep with a woman unless he's married to her. "Sleep" or otherwise. It's a matter of respect. I know it ain't the norm nowadays, but that's me. And I ain't a preacher or religious nut or something. There are just some things I won't do.

By God, I think I just found someone a bit like me.......thought we were all dead.
 
I'm always shocked that there are folks in this day and age that are still puritanical, and superstitious.

Have you ever worried about sleeping in the same tent with another man also? :rolleyes:
 
Let see now your a guide outfitter so your in a professional business that requires you to guide and provide a quality outing and with good fortune a quality animal. Treat her like one of the boys I had a couple of girls from Germany come years ago and yes they are liberal but treated them like one of the guys and everything was a okay you make it what it is and I am sure if you ask her what is expected of you everything well be alright Good luck let us know how she turned out and post pics too
 
In respect of your wife, I believe that you should sleep in different quarters. It probably wouldn't take much time and effort to rig up a privacy facility for her. At the end of the day, you'll still be a "married" gentleman. I think that your initial direction is the correct one. :)

I am baffled by this...You believe it is immoral for you to be in the same accomadation with a woman?

A couple of years ago, I took a young woman on her first bear hunt. We shared my camper, in seperate bunks. When I told my gal I was going, she just giggled...Muttered something about condoms...She trusts me, i trust her.

To each his own, but since it clearly bothers you, you should just stay in a seperate tent. :)
 
back off he's Old Old fashioned there was a time when even an engaged couple couldn't share accomidations

now it is quite acceptable for a man and woman to share a room seperate beds if you feel so strongly that it's imoral you have a problem if your worryed that people would think you would cheat

new old fashioned is not that differant how ever one thing is changed if a woman is uncomfortable with having doors opened for her then you don't

If you feel so uncomfortable the seperate pup tents will do the best have a wash area for her and one for the guys and every thing will be fine if in doubt asking her if she has a problem with those accomidations will go a long way

Lastly Ask her not us women like it when men respect there opionion and it will go allot further for your image then asking what to do here
 
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.




It sounds like you have established boundaries of conduct that might preclude this, but if it was me, I'd damn sure make a point of scrubbing myself in the lake for the chance that the little Swedish gal might want to open the "fly" on my tent!! ;)

There's some long traditions of the lady clients bedding the guide, if you read any of the accounts by some of the old African guides... whether their husband was around or not. Read Sten Cedegren's book(s). :)



But I have no opinion on what you should do... :runaway:

yep, set up the pup tent for yourself, put a divider up in the wall tent and leave them to their own conciences.
 
How about this? I take it your are a "stand-up" individual who would never let himself be corrupted by the shortcomings, real or perceived, of other people who may have a different moral and social view on life, hence the thread and your concern not only for the ladies comfort but also the appearance of the situation. My opinion: discuss with your wife the situation and ask what she would prefer, (I'm sure she'll trust your judgement.), bring the supplies to put a "curtain" up in the wall tent, and relax man! Canadians are way too uptight about this kind of thing, just 'cause you will probably be in various states of un-dress at some point means nothing unless you're some paranoid WASP, if the idea of a sweaty dirty woman farting in the wall tent after bean and sausage stew puts you off then don't do the hunt.

PS: I mean no offence to white anglo-saxon protestants

Yup, you got it right on the nose. In the scenario we are discussing, yes I would consider that a real moral issue. Big time.
