What would you ask Perry?

[Lithril]

Perry McGee is one of the UK's leading tracking instructors and founder of the National Tracking School.

Perry will be joining us at the 2015 Bushmoot so we thought we'd arrange an interview to start getting you in the mood.

So what questions do you want us to ask Perry?

 

[vestlenning]

What is the most important skill?

 

[Tony]

What's the most dangerous thing you've tracked?
Is there a use for tracking in normal suburban life?

 

[nephilim]

If you could repeat any event from your life, what would it be and why?

 

[Ahjno]

How long took the longest track (both time and / or distance) you've been involved with?

 

[bearbait]

I attended one of his sessions at the 2014 moot. He told an interesting story of his work with the police and his forensic tracking. A couple of so of those stories would be very interesting, for us to see tracking in a wider context.

 

[Macaroon]

What is the most important aid or tool (if any) used in tracking, i.e. binos, tracking stick, reference book etc.?

 

[Ogri the trog]

OTT

 

[Idleknight]

What is the worst example of TV or movie tracking he has seen?

 

[mountainm]

Has he ever been asked to track a cryptozoological animal such as a yeti?

Does he think there are big cats loose in the UK countryside and has he tracked any?

 

[Angst]

i've got a bone to pick with perry....last year he nearly killed us all during our two hours with him....had us running around on the 3rd largest sand dunes in europe in the blazing sun doing tracking...we all thought we'd be having a pleasant stroll through the trees looking at rabbit droppings and roe deer prints lolol!

seriously though, it was great and i highly recommend attending his talk.....and make sure youve some water and comfortable shoes.

my question would be....''are you a ninja?''

his favourite animal to track mesquite is.....humans.

and i reckon the most dangerous tony is...humans.

[bambodoggy]

What is the worst example of TV or movie tracking he has seen?

Toss up between the entire series of Lost and the film The Hunted? ....but then I'm not Perry and to be fair I'm only in this thread coz I wanted to ask about the design of those natty little tennis shorts.....it seems I was thinking of the wrong Perry in the thread title.....I'll get me coat....

Actually, while I am here though, I would like to ask Perry his thoughs on Tom Brown and more widely his thoughts on spirt tracking?

Cheers,

Bam.

[Wayland]

I'd ask what it was like growing up with Eddie McGee as a father?

I'm guessing it was an interesting start in life.
