Your expertise in getting the tent up will be a great help.

A grab photo of a Hyena out on the hunt, not the best quality. An unplanned shot and he was moving quite fast. A Lion will kill its victim first before eating, but not the Hyena. The will literally eat you alive, skin, bowels, bones - everything. The Hyena is a cowardly predator on its own, but in a pack, it is deadly. At night, it makes a laughing noise when it is eating or mating. Not one of my favourite beasts, but it is fascinating to watch from a safe distance.
The Hyena comes over as a very horrible animal, though it won't actually know that.
I have reconsidered my offer and I am still available, so long as I can hold a pistol all the time.
