Hope The Boy doesn't regress back to a Cave Man before he returns to civilization!

No, no running water. They have a couple holding tanks, one at the "shower tent" and one at the cook shack. Water is pumped from the creek into those for cooking and washing. I think they have set up a woodstove boiler unit in the shower tent so they have some warm water. Porta-Potties and outhouses only.

There is a camp cook who uses propane powered appliances to prepare meals. The kitchen is a wall tent and the dining room is another tent nearby! There is a generator for some electricity.

They finally found a brand of satelitte phone that gets reception there so he can call home occasionally. It's a couple bucks a minute to talk on a sat phone though so calls are rare and short!

He wasn't far from a cave man before! If Stuart had his way, we'd live like that all the time! When he used to guide in the summer/fall, he'd be completely "bushed" when he got home. Almost got ran over the first time he went to town; he had completely forgotten about traffic!
