"gnu, catching a cold or a sore back would not be among my worries."

So, do you know which trees to get the boughs from and how to arrange them so you don't end up sick? Do you know which fern patches will keep you safe from sand fleas and ticks and skeeters? Sorry if that sounds condescending, but it's just that I am concerned.

Oh, one more thing. I never spent a night in the bush without a loaded gun.

I just don't know why this is a requirement. It just seems foolhardy to me.
