Aristocratic societies often handle that (and what GURPS calls Housekeeping) by making the aristoi spent their teens as body servants to someone higher-ranking (grooming their horses, bringing their wine, running their messages, cleaning their armour, fetching their breastplate-stretcher) and sending them hunting without a gaggle of servants. I use Soldier for characters who have a lot of experience camping in rough conditions as part of a group.
