Wayfaring (skill)

Wayfaring is the survivalist's way, representing subsistence and mastery over one's environment. Encompassing a broad spectrum of defensive and protective skills, practitioners of Wayfaring learn to use their environment and master their own athleticism to fight in the face of any threat, whether beast or nature. The master Wayfarer can adapt in a short time to even the most unfamiliar environment, for there is none they cannot make their home.
