I got two of Tom Browns books at the Gathering. 'Grandfather' and this one.
I decided to read Grandfather first, nearly finished now so soon I'll be looking at this one soon.

It looks good

Cheers

I've just been on Amazon (thus extending my lunchbreak and hoping nobody notices...) and have just ordered: The Vision, The Tracker, The Way of the Scout & Tom Brown's Field Guide to Living with the Earth. That should keep my commuting train journeys interesting for the next coupl of weeks!

I think that the first book order was placed through pressing the button on here Tone (and this included a pre-order of the new Ray Mears one as well), but I'm sorry to say that I forgot to do this yesterday... :cry:

The "Art and Science" is fascinating, and it seems to be going in a direction and putting an emphasis that is quite different from what I remember of the Woodlore tracking course.

There really does seem like a multitude of ways to approach the tracking, which is good as some will suit people more than others. I'm glad it's a good book, I need to get a few on tracking :eek:):

Sure did Tone.

I got Tom Brown's Nature Observation and Awarness book just as the taxi for the Airport pulled up on the 16th and read it three times while on holidays. Even my wife read the first half on nature observation and awareness, the second part of the book covers some of the basics in tracking which has helped me to fill in some the gaps in the my notes from the course in June.

It really has opened our eyes to the what we have missed every house planet is a Jungle when viewed from an Ants point of veiw.

Excellent :biggthump
