Wow! For the first time. I’ve seen and heard a disciplined tracker. I’m 64 and crippled with a balance issue. In 2017 I started crawling on all fours out of necessity. It opened my mind to study vegetation,insects, and animals. I’m hooked on tracking and this guy blew my mind. Many people don’t condone my crawling. I believe crawling humbles yourself to God and man. The rewards are immeasurable. Keep tracking.
Yeah, I'm "that guy". The new book, if you are serious about reclaiming this skill, is by Mark Elbroch. Mammal Tracks of North America. It's pricey, but a life long companion. Mark also re-did the Olaus Murry Petersons Guide. He is humble. approachable, and has a lot of material to work with. Hope this helps.
This vid is the intro to our biggest video project to date. There are six videos, each dedicated to one of the six arts of tracking mentioned in the video. Thanks and Respect to Tom Brown jr., Jon Young, Charles Worsham, Paul Rezendes and past and present students of Tracking for keeping these skills alive.
@@TrackerScout Have faith. Your concerns are unfounded. These videos addressed a message from a place that they can hear not from a place of where they will all eventually lead.
@@davidcollins2648 No worries! The vision of this school is to keep the skills alive through a lineage intent on doing the same. Anytime there’s discussion whether it is good bad or ugly helps in that cause.
I'd be interested in your comparison between how we were portrayed by NATGEO and what we actually provide as a school through videos and course content (primitiveskills "DOT" com). The show was a good lesson for our children on the power of media and not to believe what they see on t.v. What are your thoughts?
Not sure if this is the right video, but the QR code for the video of this same title in the book Tracking & Hunting Your Prey by Elizabeth Dee on page 56 goes to a random video about finding water instead of a tracking video so had to search the name. 😅 Either way-- thanks for sharing this video. 😊
This reminds me of the guy from Doomsday Preppers. Either way this is good to know. I found rabbit scat and tracks and I've been trying to find it's home but I don't know how to track. I know the basics but not enough to find it when the tracks are gone or the snow is gone. A Field Guide to Animal Tracking, by Murie is a great tracking book. I recommend it.
iv been watching alot of the videos you guys have put up on youtube and i like them alot. iv considered taking a few classes but unfortunately im not in the financial place to do that right now. someday i hope to get involved more but as for right now times are a little tough
Why not, I will be quite static in the next months, but if you pass by Gothenburg in your way up north give me a shout I can show you some nice areas, take a canoe etc... otherwise we have a winter project in January February in Norway if you are interested to join ;) ATB,// Mathieu
Thank you for the video! I live in the city, and am in high school, so I'm mostly tethered to it unfortunately. Do you have any suggestions to getting in dirt time in this environment on a normal day?
We have a once a month skills program that one can join for a year or pay per day. It is from 9am to 4pm the first Sunday of each Month. We also have an apprenticeship which is an immersion into all the skills learning by living. Here is link to the first option. Thanks for asking about our programs! www.primitiveskills.com/course/primitive-skills-club-monthly-workshop-2/
Yes, here is the link and our school e-mail is staff@primitiveskills.com if you want to request an application. www.primitiveskills.com/apprenticeship/
We work with folks all the time to make sure the skills get to them. Our standard opportunities are a work-study program where you can earn up to 50% of the tuition off at $10.00 an hour toward your course and a 20% off the tuition for each full paying person you bring. Folks combine them and make it here with no money involved. We also recognize individual need. Contact the school via e-mail. They would love to work with you. Lily and Karen (office) are good folks.
Shouldn't #1 be knowing when your looking at a track? Finding them is the first step before anything else. This is where Worsham's work on baselining and establishing visual patterns was important. It was when there was a break or a variation in that baseline or pattern indicates the disturbance/track.Still a pretty decent little video giving a good overall presentation of the steps involved.
+David Collins Charles was an amazing instructor and I still mourn for the loss of his talents the day he retired. The work on establishing baseline and reading the cyclic disturbances in the swells (annual cycles), waves (daily cycles), and ripples (true disturbances) is foundational. We put that in our Awareness Courses simply due to the bulk of material and the limited time (five day courses) we have with students.
@@TrackerScout I was tracking seriously over 30 years ago and wrote the first paper on the tracks and locomotion of reptiles and amphibians in '92. I was also a course presenter at ISPT in 2004. I might know what I'm talking about. By all means go on thinking you're the only one who knows all the deep esoteric secrets on nature.
Excellent closing! Sometimes we have Angels, sometimes we don't. We thank God for our keep, & discipline to know reliable proficient systemic methods that don't fail. We'll prove God right, in time!
i thought that you guys seemed like pretty down to earth people. however to alot of other "sheeple" you probly just looked like some crazy guy who picked up roadkill. i think you guys offer alot of really good information on being self sufficient and being aware of your surroundings. The only think that ticked me off was how NATGEO seems to put down your reason for prepping and say it could never happen. it was good for your children to learn the media cant be trusted though
It's fantastic that you guys have your six spheres of tracking, or whatever. In the real world, it always plays out a little differently than our human ideas of how Nature works, no?

@@primitiveskills And, I was just rereading your post. What you say sounds like Buddhism...the Six-Fold Pathway. I'm a fan of Gautama Shidharthra. Although I will say that I think that technical and legalistic Buddhism (exemplfied as misconceptions about kamma and dharma) seriously miss the point of the Oneness that I, personally, have imbibed from Gautama's teachings. I do not call him the Buddha, because 'buddha' is a state, or perhaps a non-state, not a person.
Excellent! The difference between a typical track follower who normally loses the trail in difficult substrate compared to the depth of knowlege required to know the subject so wel that the physical tracks, trail, and disturbances are confirmation. Well put! Trailing a subject without the required dir time is lke following a string of print written in an unfamiliar language, where the trail is meaningless and when it ends nothing is gained.
Using dust and grit compressions, much like the marks on a chalk board after it is erased, the track pattern, trail width and tail drags can be seen in ideal lighting and with side angling. It was one of the training techniques we used in the Pine Barrens with Tom Brown Jr. While it took hours, every track afterwards, like fox in moss, stood out in bold relief. We use this training technique at the school to this day in our tracking courses.
In these courses, it was enough to learn through it's tracks about the individual habits and dietary preferences as well as increasing our own tracking ability. If it were a survival course, we wouldn't bother with mice. Red squirrel is as small as we go due to calorie investment vs. calorie return.
This is just my experience, but I don't think jumping into "spirit" tracking is even possible. I do, however, believe you're wrong about those who put it first, unless you're talking about some city clown who has never even been in the woods, but who thinks he's a great tracker. Even the term "spirit" tracking is pretentious BS that no real tracker would ever use. Those who put number six first are doing a disservice to the entire tracking community? That's more pretentiousness, and arrogance on a ridiculous level. It's blatant BS, and something no real tracker would ever say. What, did you not learn to track until you were already an adult? My experience is that most woodsmen learned about animal behavior long before they learned about proper tracking techniques. I certainly did. I could tell you where a deer or a moose or a fox or a wolf had been, where it was going, how it felt, long before I could track it well at all. In fact, I learned to track by first knowing where an animal was going by knowing what it needed or wanted or felt at that moment. Knowing where an animal was going meant I could lose a trail and then pick it up again just by knowing how that animal felt, what it wanted, and where it would go to get what it wanted or needed. I never would learned to track really well without knowing the "spirit" tracking part first. When I lost a trail chances are it would have stayed lost. "Spirit tracking? Yeah, right. And get up off the ground and stop acting like Sherlock Holmes with a magnifying glass. You have those poor suckers believing that's how you learn to track. A good tracker may kneel down to poke at a pile of droppings with a stick, or maybe to move something in the way, and may sit there a minute thinking about which way his prey is gong, and what the final destination is, but he doesn't get down on his hands and knees looking at a tiny scratch in the dust because there's never a reason to do so. Walk twenty or thirty feet, and go in a circle. Then do it again. You'll either find a track that's clear enough, distinct enough, to tell the story, of the trail is lost, and all looking at those scratches in the dirt while on your hands and knees do is make it look like you're a real by God expert. Who else would get down and do that? RUclips keep getting sillier and sillier, with more and more "experts" at this, that, and the other who couldn't find their own asses with both hands and a map.
Really? How the animal was "feeling"? " Hi, I'm Mr Mule Deer and I'm really bummed out that that fruit tree no longer drops apples conveniently down to ground level for me to eat. All there is left is green food and i am sooooo bored with green food. I guess I'll have to take my own life, since life without sweet apples is intolerable!" Seriously, aren't you basically ascribing human attributes or even neuroses to animals that are mostly concerned with where their next meal comes from? Even relatively intelligent animals like dogs are controlled and disciplined daily by when and how and how much we mete out their food. Stop feeding a fat dog for two days and you'll see how little that animal has any feelings or loyalty to you..
It's understandable that folks illiterate in tracking and/or animal behavior would assume there is no difference between the tracks of a well fed and relaxed subject versus a nervous and hungry subject. If you have a pet, especially a canine, you can readily interpret emotional state through body language cues. These cues also shoe up in tracks, track clusters, and track patterns. Hope this helps!
