You are reasonably familiar with a single chosen terrain type and are able to spot common hazards, find sources of food and potable water, locate signs of passage and keep a low profile in this environment. This ability allows you to avoid the -2 penalties to Survival, Awareness: Tracking and Stealth that are applied to anyone who is not familiar with the terrain.

Typical terrain types that a character might chose to familiarise himself with include mountains/hills, tundra, desert, brokenland, marsh/swamp, forest/jungle, grassland/plains and coastal/sea.
