Thank you K! It was a pleasure to work with David for several years before our paths took us in different directions. He is a great teacher and knowledgeable warrior. Tracking changed my life when I first began professional tracking in 1990 and it has influenced everything I do professionally. OSI is just beginning to refresh our tactical ops side and will be starting a new project to build on the old ones. We are working with Ty Cunningham who is an outstanding tracker and friend! d.
Thanks for you post sir. By the way, i bought Mr. Donelan book. Quite hard to find it and quite fantastic book. In my country it's almost impossible to find a professional in tracking so i practice and practice everytime i can. And i'm agree about that Tracking change your life: since i've start, years ago, my way to "see" everything around me changed completely, in the bush or urban environment. Fantastic. Thanks again and take care. K. ;)
Hello Eli, I have found that tracker has influenced nearly ever realm of my life. It is an art, skill, disciple and much more. If you are tracking something, then it is probably wise to consider what you might find if / when you catch up to your objective. That said, tracking is much more than hunting and the skills can apply in many levels of life and field craft. We are rebuilding our entire organization and approach. I will soon put a better cut of the video here for folks to use and have free access. We really need to do an updated project and have some unofficial plans to do just that soon!
I spent a huge chunk of my life in the Alaskan bush and the Canadian north woods, so I come at this from the perspective of a naturalist tracker. I thought this vid was great. Many of the techniques cross over very well, though if I am tracking a bear on my own, I'm never thinking in terms of team formations. In fact, I generally don't want other folk around as they just make noise and scent to ward off my quarry. Good stuff, though. I wish it had gotten a bit more into track aging and picking up a trail again if it is lost in featureless terrain, but I understand this was only a very basic intro.

Sir, thanks a lot for this video. I'm a huge fan of Mr Donelan and a Tracking practitioner. It's quite rare to find good videos. Great video.
R.I.P. Ken. Still an awesome Video! Love it!
I can't even find my dog when he runs away.

Does tactical tracking means hunting? This video is amazing by the way, just fantastic!!
sound like tracking a military objective (or police chase), hence the need for sentry support
TTOS was the best and David Scott-Donelan is the greatest.
