I remember years, and years ago. Someone mentioned to me that SCA often
meant primitive camping. After I explained that to me primitive was
either paleolithic or (possibly) being dumped in the woods with nothing
but your clothes and perhaps a knife we agreeed that SCA camping was
less primitive than many was used to, but perhaps not *that* primitive.

These days I think primitive for many people actually translates more
into "significantly less than the speaker is used to". If that means a
wooden trestle table, a built up fireplace with hangers for pots, and a
"full" 15th century cooking kit or a stone knife, a fresh killed hare,
a lake shore to gather some veggies, and a digging stick to make the
cooking pit with all depends on the speakers perspective.
