Frontiersman

Living the life in the great untamed wild, the frontiersman is able to live off the land without human contact for as long as necessary. Some are recluses, escaping the dirty crowds of urban life; some are adventurers, seeking new lands and new people; others just feel the “call of the wild” and seek a way to make their fortune in the vast wilderness of America. Frontiersmen that seek more adventure than a life of fur-trading can easily find work as a wilderness guide, where their knowledge of nature is as valued as their legendary skill with a rifle.
