Thread: Got lost in some woodlands today

  1. #11
    Tracking is also a good skill, when you get lost! There was this story in a book I read...
    A girl which had learned tracking skills from her father got lost in the woods and after the first panic eased she remembered her skills and tracked her own tracks home!
    That story was the reason why I started tracking!
    When you start with tracking the world around you begin to change.
    There's so much more which I see now, also in everyday life...and when I'm in the woods I never feel lost because I can see now where I went by.

    Bye,

    It is one of ambitions to learn tracking the book that made me yearn to do it was "Grandfather" by Tom Brown

    I like the books of John Brown Jr also...

    These two I'm reading right now!



    Jon Young is a student of John Brown.

    And I can highly recommend the first book of Hannah Nyala, Point last seen.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0340...sr=8-4&pi=SL75

    Here is the link to it...

    It isn't a work of fiction! She's writing her own story down and it touched my heart.

    The £1 book arrived this morning! I don't know how they delivered it to the island in less than 24 hrs for £2 postage, came across on ferry and everything - amazing!

    Have now read about half of it, a bit obsessive, but it's sooooooo good! Thanks Alex for recommending it! I am off to cut a notch in the tread of my boots now - yay!

    When I saw how excited you were, I felt the urge to read it again!

    When I remember it correctly I had read it in the German translation..., so I also will get me a copy and read it again...

    I also remember that I started to train micro naps after I read it...and it worked!

    I'm happy that you like it so much!

    Thanks for sharing...

    Bye,
    Alex
