Tracking originated with man's need for food; he needed to
understand what he was following and what the rewards would be if
he was successful. Little has changed over time about the terms of
tracking. We still track game for sport and food, but we have also
found other uses for tracking. Border police patrol to stop illegal
immigrants from entering their country; the military tracks down
wanted terrorists or enemy forces. Tracking has become a military
skill.
In the "SAS Tracking Handbook," former SAS soldier and British
Empire Medal (BEM) award-winner Barry Davies teaches not only how
to survive in the outdoors with the skills of tracking, but how to
use these skills from a military standpoint.
Included in this book are many helpful tips on topics including:
The types of dogs used for tracking.
Traps for catching wild animals.
Modern military tracking.
Using your surroundings to your advantage.
And much more.
The success or failure of the modern tracker is dependent on the
personal skills of the individual tracker. Training is vital in
learning tracking skills, and continuous exercise the best way to
interpret signs. These skills are rarely found, but they remain
hidden deep within all of us. So whether you're already a skilled
tracker or a novice in the field, the "SAS Tracking Handbook" will
be your guide to mastering this old and respected art.
