Rather than start a new thread I thought | would add this to this one. I have just bought and read "Tracking, signs of man signs of hope. By David Diaz. It is interesting to note the books he recomends at the end: Louis Liebenberg, Tom Brown, David Scott Donelan (Tac tracking), and Betser, Moshe/Robert Rosenberg. Secret Soldier. A lot of people here will recognise these names. This book was strongly aimed at tac tracking with a few mentions on SAR applications. What I discovered in this book was an area of weakness in my tracking. The paperwork write up. I recognised that this can be a great tool to help you to realise what you have actually learned. Recognising your own learning is a great tool to building strong foundations for later learning. The book was also a good read with case a major case study and how to write up the report on the case study. In tracking i have heard a lot of people mention Sherlock Holmes, but is it Sherlock we learn from or is it the write up and explanations of Dr Watson. they both go hand in hand. This is one of those books that I am glad to get on the shelf. ( Tracking book number 12) it seems like tracking is fast gaining recognition in the world with more and more books appearing on a fast basis. I am looking forward to when there will be more ways to make a living from this craft. Sorry in advance to those of you who have already topped your budget for this month.
