Tracking

Reading signs depends on appreciating the small points, the details that appear to those schooled in observation but disappear to the novice, the incautious, or the hasty.

Over the years tracking has been shown to be a very effective technique in locating lost persons.  Tracking (sign cutting) is the step by step following of a person.  It takes training, determination and hundreds of hours of practice to become a skilled tracker.

By analysing the footprints and other sign left behind, trained trackers can determine a direction of travel and even follow the track of an individual across varied terrain.
