Book- Fundamentals of Mantracking: The Step-by-Step Method: An Essential Primer for Search and Rescue Trackers

Fundamentals of Mantracking is the essential guide written by the people who spent most of their lives developing and refining the art of tracking, one of the most important but often overlooked aspects of successful search and rescue missions.

In 2012, there were 661,000 missing person cases opened in the United States.

While the majority of missing person cases that get opened are closed quickly, by the end of the year over 2,000 remained unresolved.

In many instances, when the missing person is lost in the woods, or in the desert, search and rescue missions become an essential tool that can mean the difference between life and death.

Inside, you will find the history of tracking, information on how to tell when tracking becomes necessary, recommended equipment and tools, and hundreds of indispensable examples of what to do on your way to becoming an expert tracker.

Chapters include:

History of Tracking in North American

When and Where to Use Tracking

Definitions and Terminology

Labeling Tracks

Detecting Sign

Aging Sign and Track

Handling Evidence

Tracking the Evader

And much more!

The revised and updated edition of Fundamentals of Mantracking includes dozens of color photographs and detailed illustrations, making it the one book essential to anyone interested in learning how to track, or committed to becoming the best tracker possible.
