A good start might be like this:

Bumba's Mask and Potion of Physical (or magical) Might.

After you kill your first buff camp, help your solo with his blue and his lane, clear the two small camps, and then grab your other buff, go back to base and buy HoG (preferably HoG2 if you can afford it), then go up and clear the mid camps.

You my friend. Are genius. Probably one of the best ideas I've ever heard of.

After doing quite a bit of testing with this start, I've found a few things.

Clearing your second buff camp AND going back to base to buy HoG2 takes too much time. By the time you get up to the mid camps, the enemy jungler has most likely already cleared them, which is why it may be a good idea to skip out on killing on of the small furies camps at the start, or be as fast as you can, which means not sitting in the solo lane for an extended periods of time.

EDIT: Another tactic is to go back to base immediately after helping solo (instead of getting small camps and getting your second buff first), and buying HoG2 then, so that way you have even better camp clearing for your second buff. In fact, this method is the best in my experience. It saves far more time than the previous method so you don't have to skip out on the small camps, and you still have time to make your way to the mid camps.

Anyway.... People who make genius posts usually get +rep, no? :)

As long as you're using a god with good camp clearing like Fenrir then it will work.
Kali (or hell, Osiris would be even better) also works pretty well with this because of the changes to Bumba's Mask, she can proc that true damage so fast.
