What is tracking?

Most people associate tracking with being able to follow an animal’s footprints in the wild. That’s not inaccurate, but it is an over simplification. Tracking is a game of deduction. It’s about learning how to expand your awareness so you can see and understand what’s going on around you. Can you find the clues left behind? Can you unravel the story being told?

These cards are designed to help you expand your observational and critical thinking skills (aka awareness) as much as teach you how to track. How you apply what your learn, that's up to you.

Why I Track

I was a tracker for the US Government. I worked in the Intelligence Community and hunted bad guys all over the world. I started in the operational side of the house, then as I got older, I moved into the analysis side. Studying tracking made me a better analyst. Understanding how to trail and put together a pattern of life on a deer can be applied to a person or a group of people.

I enjoy tracking, but what kept me going back and learning as much as I could was the awareness training. I track as a means of testing and improving my awareness skills.

Lineage

I’m a city kid. I don’t come from a long line of trackers. But I was fortunate to train over a decade with a Master Tracker brought up in the Apache Lineage of tracking. These cards are an introduction to an ancient craft. I've also combined what I learned from my time as analyst applying my tracking skills.

The awareness skills are an important element of the cards and what makes them different from most tracking manuals or field guides. The connection between meditation and tracking is everything, the ability to tap into the subconscious mind, the best problem solving weapon you own. This is what I'm teaching.

How you apply the ability, what you want to see, is up to you.

These Cards Work!

I've been using the cards for a while. I got them because I enjoy hiking and camping. I used the skills in these cards to track a family of five deer!

Parent of a Teenager

I'm not a tracker but I like hiking and camping. I've been using the cards with my son. We're learning together, and I think he enjoys knowing more than I do - and how to move quietly - he keeps hunting me around the house!

Benefits of Learning How to Track

Exciting walks...knowing where and what to look for to find animals.

Meditation... understanding how to create a dynamic meditation process so you can move while meditating, slip between Beta and Alpha brainwaves at will.

Seeing small details... understanding how to find tracks on hard to read terrain.

It's the little details that matter, and knowing how they weave into the larger story.

Apply it to your life... how to find the stories happening around you everyday.

Tracking is a game of deduction. It's more than just being able to follow an animal through the woods. It's about expanding your level of awareness so you can see and understand what's going on around you.

The Cards

Front (A Side) of a Mule Deer.

Shape of a deer's dew claws ID front vs rear foot

The flashcards are training aides. The front side of the card (A side) has an image, an animal track or skill. The backside (B side) has the image name and details about the animal or skill.

B side of the Opossum card.

Some cards have tracking tips at the bottom

(FYI not an opossum track, but a "family" track in top corner)

The backside of the animal cards have information about the habits of the animal as well as stats on its tracks, how it normally moves and why. The cards are all grouped by family (color code banner and "family" track in top right corner). The geographic region for the animal is also on the card.

Some cards also have tracking tips at the bottom.

With some animals, bone structure can be seen in their tracks allowing gender to be seen, wide hips vs broad shoulders

The cards are organized by animal family. Family cards help you group and recognize patterns and behaviors making it easier to ID the tracks and create a Pattern of Life for the animal you are following.

Everything begins with understanding how to use your eyes. Wide Angle Vision, expanding your sight to its furthest left and right limits (Image A) unlocks doors for a tracker. Varying your vision, moving between macro and micro is also important (images B & C).

Tracking includes being able to move quietly, understanding the rhythms and movements around you and how to flow with them like a shadow.

Body language tells you a lot about a person, so do their tracks.

What will you be able to see?

A Word of Caution

Awareness is a matter of choice. Once you turn it on, you will see more, both good and bad.

I've been using these with my Scouts. There's a lot more to tracking than I realized. The Scouts love it, practice by tracking each other.
