About Pathfinder Field Kit & FAQ
Last updated: September 30, 2025
Who We Are
Pathfinder Field Kit is a parent-led outdoor-skills program for boys ages 10–14. Each box delivers a mission with printed curriculum, hands-on gear, and a patch to mark progress. Dads (or moms) lead the mission; sons step up, learn, and earn it.
Our Mission
We help families raise capable young men—grounded in character, trained in real-world skills, and ready to take responsibility at home, in the field, and in life.
How It Works
Subscribe — Choose your plan at checkout.
Receive a mission — Printed steps + gear arrive at your door.
Lead together — Parent runs the briefing; your son executes the mission.
Level up — Earn the patch, log the skill, and tackle the Elite Track if you want more.
Safety & What We Include
Pathfinder is educational and parent-led. Typical boxes contain non-hazardous items (e.g., compass, cordage, notebook, patches, printed curriculum).
Some months may include parent-gated tools (e.g., a pocket knife or flint & steel) for educational use under adult supervision. We do not include fuels or accelerants; fire kits may include a ferro rod/steel striker only. Tool shipments may be limited by location.
