Hi Korvin
I am interested in your comment on evading not being hard to do.
I have tried to evade folks in the past, and can say that IMHO it is very difficult.
I have not watched any videos or books on this but was trained by the military in this very technique.
Would you say it is easy to evade: Dogs (attack/guard and sniffer), Night vision goggle equipped searchers, Thermal image viewer equipped searchers' helicopter observers (again with spotlights and thermal sights), ground trackers, who are of course out in numbers. Not to mention you will need to sleep at some point so will not be mobile. There are of course many other detection systems for finding folks, but they are probably not in the public domain for police use.
I will admit that the police are not the best at this technique, but still would not think the task was easy.
From my own experience I used various techniques to slip in and out of what was then East Germany a few times, but that was because MOST of the guards were not bothered about looking for me.
I feel the need to point out that if there are actually loads of books and videos on evading, then there are books on tracking too!
