In early times, in undiscovered countries, those few who went out first into the wilderness before others did so to explore new territories. They did this to gain information and knowledge that was not yet known. These explorers were often referred to as pioneers. These pioneers took risks, often putting their lives on the line, to explore what was not known so that they could return with the experiences of their journey to share with others who were to follow later. These risks were taken to ensure it would be safer for others to follow and to expand into uncharted territories.
