Foraging know-how turns a shaky day of subsisting into reliable food for you and a growing circle of companions as your skill improves.
Wilderness know-how keeps a character fed and oriented in the wild, and turns a faint trail into a set of tracks worth following.

In the past decade, the Pathfinder Society has clashed with demonic armies, meddled in politics, and more, but you joined the organization before everything seemed so complicated. Whether you're a dedicated scholar of ruins or an explorer who just longs for months-long expeditions into the wilderness, you're a Pathfinder to explore, report, and cooperate.
