Synopsis
To be a
Tracker is to learn to see, observe and hear differently, you need to be a
detective. Tracking is not only finding a print on the ground, it is about
reading the story that is in that track and the surrounding area, a story of
the past.
If
something is disturbed in your house you would notice it!
This
class will help you to notice the disturbances made in nature by man; be it
a missing person or someone trying to evade discovery.
Maybe you
would like to learn how to Counter-Track (leave no sign).
This course will introduce you to these concepts. We will teach you to recognize and follow things that most folks would not even see.
The instinct of
man is to pursue everything that flies from him, and to fly from all that
pursue him.
