Welcome to the
Wildwood Tracking website! Tracking is
all about following marks left by animals. It
involves their actual tracks, as well as scat and other
signs. Tracking skills will of course enable you to get
close enough to a live animal to kill it for food and hides
and other materials useful in a survival situation. For more
about Wilderness
Survival visit the
Wildwood Survival
website.
From a
nature study and scientific perspective, this skill allows
you to identify what animals are present in an area and gain
some understanding of their habits. |

"Tracking is like dancing, because your body is happy. It is telling you the hunting will be good.
You feel it in the dance. It tells you. When you are tracking, and dancing, you are talking with God."

"The first track is the end of a
string. At the far end, a being is moving; a mystery,
dropping a hint about itself every so many feet,
telling you more about itself until you can almost see
it, even before you come to it. The mystery reveals
itself slowly, track by track, giving its genealogy
early to coax you in. Further on, it will tell you the
intimate details of its life and work, until you know
the maker of the track like a lifelong friend."
