Always Aiming To Be Number One!
Fieldcraft is the tactical skill to operate stealthily and the methods used to do so, which can differ during day or night and due to weather or terrain. These skills include camouflage, land and water navigation, concealment from view, obstacle crossing, camping, effective observation, survival, hunting and more. We can provide you with a few items to make these skills easier.
