Sorry, we had a discussion, weeks ago, about laying out a route where you monitored change - I said at the time about 'getting in to the mind of the prey' and explained what I meant but not as well as that vid.

Ahhh , yes got you. Indeed.

We did some tactical tracking with Max and his great training team ( where are those guys ?? ) at Shadowhawks back in the day.
Would be good to get some bods together and practice some ground skills.

Is there a Big price tag associated with it???? If so , NO , I'm Not sure why Bushcrafty stuff needs to cost an arm and a leg.

It's a business - I've met a few of the guys in the business; none of them are exactly rolling in it
But, like any training, it's charged by the hourly rate that the market will pay and a lot of folk are prepared to pay a lot more than me!

Interesting using a torch in daylight: ameliorates a high or bright sun to some degree.

Enjoyed those vids. Many thanks.

I have used this technique before to ‘read’ weathered gravestones but hadn’t thought to use it for boot prints. Great tip.

In the last video a few tracking books are mentioned. The Jack Kearney book is available as a PDF here and there on the interweb. A search should likely find yourselves a copy if folks are interested.
