Tracking and Awareness

Arguably the oldest human science, tracking takes human cerebral abilities to their ultimate limits. So much more than simply answering questions, tracking is an entirely new way of looking at the world. Tracking asks us to push our awareness, ask penetrating questions, and always keep an open mind. It applies on the city street and the deepest forest.
The class will cover the basics of tracking such as clear print identification, gait studies and interpretation, sign tracking, cluster tracking and much more. We will spend time looking at compression tracks, learning to track in different substrates. As well as tracking we will discuss the importance of awareness and learn ancient techniques of how to open our senses to the world around us and observe a greater depth in the world around us. In order to move through the forest unseen we will also cover basic natural camouflage and stalking techniques.
Tracking and Awareness is a prerequisite for Ancient Scout.
