Andrew Price

Pre-season loadout analysis: Andrew Price learned foraging from his grandfather on the Gower Peninsula, spent years traveling to study indigenous survival techniques, and came home to found a bushcraft school. A resume like that usually produces an opinionated gear list, and his one real opinion is hiding in plain sight: there is no dedicated knife on it. The ax, the saw, and the multitool's blade split all cutting duties between them.

Pre-season loadout analysis: For a bushcraft educator that is close to heresy on paper and perfectly coherent in practice. Fine carving and notch work sit in the multitool, heavy splitting sits in the ax, and the freed slot goes to snare wire, which quietly gives him the full three system food spread of bow, fishing kit, and traps. It is the kind of trade a person makes when they have processed enough wood to know which blade they actually reach for.

Pre-season loadout analysis: Everything else is the proven core: sleeping bag, pot, ferro rod, paracord. In the Richardson Mountains, inside the Arctic Circle, the boring picks are load bearing. One sourcing caution applies across this cast: Season 13 lists in our data come from a single pre season report, so hold the details loosely until the season confirms them.
