Anyone who has spent even a little time outdoors has come across
strange tracks left by animals or people and wondered, "What was
here?" In this practical guide, former-SAS member Bob Carss shows
how to track any moving thing, in any environment, and under nearly
any circumstance. He begins by explaining common terms, such as a
"top sign", markings left above ankle height; "pointers", signs
that tell the general direction of the quarry; and a "conclusive
sign," markings that confirm the quarry's presence. The difference
between tracks left by quarry and false tracks are described, as
well as how a pattern of signs builds into the tracking picture -
the overall movement, direction, and motivation of the quarry.
Included are tips on: *Tracking in desert, forest, jungle, marsh,
and grassy areas *Interpreting animal, human, and vehicle signs
*How to preserve night vision *Using time frames to eliminate
misleading signs *Detecting quarry when they backtrack or circle
around *How time and weather affect signs *How to spot
intentionally misleading signs The SAS Guide to Tracking is a
remarkable guide to developing a new awareness of the outdoors and
is the perfect companion for naturalists, outdoorspeople, hunters,
wildlife photographers, search-and-rescue teams, and law
enforcement.
